My question to you is that, does making research even guarantee success in shitcoins? The answer is no but you sounded more like making research can make someone become successful in shitcoins and this can mislead newbies that are not knowledgeable enough to different things, dealing with shitcoins is not an investment because they don't have long term potential like Bitcoin, it is trading or gambling and not investment.
How possibly will you get knowledgeable in the industry without proper research?
I’m not advising anyone to invest in shitcoins but there have also been stories of people investing in them and fortunately they came out strong and one thing that might have contributed to that is a good and proper research.
Nothing absolutely is guaranteed in the cryptocurrency market and that’s why it’s always preached to only invest what you can afford to lose but in as much as a proper research can’t guaranty you success in the industry, it keeps you very much informed of the market and helps in proper decision making.
