You need to understand how cryptocurrency industry work and you shouldn't fall for wrong claims by devs if you want to trade some tokens in the market since most of them will tell that their token will go the same with bitcoin. So be suspicious all the time and when you look for tokens better to research more information about the project so that you would provably know if they have good chances to last long or even get a good pump base to the tech or solution to offer on their investor or community.
For now there are so many things for you to learn and I believe that even if you learn a lot from reading the suggestion given by people still you will fall on one of them so let your experiences as your guide to work more better and be a smart investor since for sure in future you will be wise and bullish if you didn't stop learning this industry.
