As a beginner, don't be overly eager to invest in any project without conducting your own thorough research.
Beginners can't do their own research, they don't have the knowledge and experience to do so. In fact most people should just stay away from trading and altcoins, it's a risk that is not worth it. Owning Bitcoin and holding it for long term is already a good investment. Alts are just a trap for greedy people.
That kind of people are being hyped by social media, they are not researching about that altcoins and if they scam because they lose so much money, they will blame it to those who promoted that alt coins. I know that we can blame the one who promoted the altcoin, but have you been a research about that altcoin? are the portfolio is good and convincing ? or you just buy it because it's hyped? We need to know what are we buying or else you will lose so much money, DYOR(DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH).
