Deep down inside out minds we taught the halving is already there, so therefore we are free to still make whatever choices we want since any coin we buy and hold makes progress during the bullrun, It would likely affect us by making wrong choice. Do your research and never rely on anyone to give you accurate information about any projects because it's your money and by no chance did those people contributed to you.
The truth, the truth and the truth again. I've said this many times when I come across yet another thread in this section where some OP asks me to recommend some good coins to invest in and make a good profit. This is so naive. These investors don't want to think with their own head, don't want to spend long hours researching and analyzing the market, they just want to get ready results by investing blindly, on someone's advice, which is absolutely worthless, because the advisor doesn't risk his own money, so he can say absolutely anything.
You are correct as it's very easy for people to guess whatever tokens and coin they wishes without having to know the risk involved losing money since isn't their hard earned money.
We should be very careful and mindful on whatever advise we get from people around us because they come up with whatever that pleases their mind as advise without knowing the implications of given out any unreliable information to other fellow investors or newbies who are eagerly to venture into cryptocurrency space.
