The market can be very trickish most of the time, making winning seem very difficult, it takes good discipline and patience to win, do you research and invest in your conviction, (that is) in the coin or token you are well convinced about its future success, and simply forget about it, act like you've lost that money and allow the market do it's thing, winning is sure at the end if indeed, you made the right choice of investment.
If you invest in shitcoin and forget about it, you might wake up one morning and your portfolio value will be in zero. How would you know a shitcoin that can last in the market and give you profit at the same time, it's impossible because you are on try your luck game.
A brand new investor after figuring out his discretionary income should focus only on bitcoin accumulation, so that he can build and grow his bitcoin investment overtime. Invest regularly every week for 4-10 years and above and don't get yourself distracted with shitcoin because you will run at big loss since most of them are pump and dump created to scam people.
I am a living testimony to how I lost my first investment in shitcoin, and since after that time, I don't advise anyone to follow that track. Bitcoin is promising and has a very bright future, that makes it the best because the rate of adoption is increasing and that will make the value increase overtime, also with its limited supply. People that don't listen and invest in shitcoin will end up regretting in future because they would be losers. Shitcoin depreciates in value overtime and they're duplicate to bitcoin. Invest in the original for long lasting profits.
