As newbies when investing in crypto don't be satisfied with your leading knowledge attainment about crypto, endeavor to continually do research on the crypto asset's you have invested on as it would aide you on a trajectory course about your investment's. By so doing you're not easily taking by surprise on any misgiving that may arise about a portfolio you have investment with.
Another gateway to keep abreast is to get connected as a member of an active crypto community or platform. Having membership of different communities is an added advantage but make sure they are a genuine platform with a good history just like bitcointalk.
As a matter of fact, it's very unsafe to depend on a single coin. In otherwords, invest into more than one token by spreading your investment into potential coins but be careful not to invest into pump and dump coins. Above all, make sure to maintain risk management in which ever crypto asset you are investing in.
Yeah, newbies really do need it in order for them to grasp the difference of investment in Bitcoin over shit coins because most of them are still hoping that these new released coins are giving them profit which in fact will give them but if they are lucky to manage to sell fast during at the top/ATH of the coins/project. Once they aren't quick enough to ride the market then a quick downfall/dump will eat every investment they put on that project.
There are quite few trusted coins that I want to invest I want to spread my investment and those coins are having a long history just like Ethereum.
