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.
No knowledge is a waste, because In this life that we find ourselves, knowledge is very important and a major player that define how successful we might be in what ever we engage in, because even though someone is doing it for you for free, their will be a time when he or she will not be around, it will be left for you to decide or make key decisions, so it's your level of knowledge then that will determine wether you are going to succeed or not, so doing your own research is very important in this life even away from this industry.
So in as much as we are investing in Bitcoin and increasing our stash weekly, we shouldn't forget to be doing more research on attaining more knowledge in this crypto industry because no knowledge is a waste, you might need it someday when you least expected, and sometimes it might be pataining to security which is going to be a life saver mostly against scammers.
So attaining more knowledge is what we should not stop going for, even if we get to the top, because what we don't know as individual is way more bigger than what we know already.
