Half of the people here are profitable traders, and the remaining are also doing well in their own capacity. So, with all the experiences you've gathered so far in the market, if you're to advise a newbie going to start their career in trading with $50, will you advise them to start by buying old coins like BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and many more? Or will you prefer to advise them to DYOR and go into buying new coins like $CARDS, TRUMP, USELESS, and more meme coins that seem to have potential? Although the latter worked for me when I started, I just wanted to know your opinion for newbies coming up.
Are you trading or are you investing?
From your sentences it seems you're more aligned to investing than trading. With trading you don't really care about the coin as long as it has huge trading volume and good price action you can easily open a trading position regardless.
Although certainly it's always better to trade with BTC, ETH, SOL or any other popular pair.
If you want massive volatility maybe go with the memes but it's hit and run kind of thing. You profit and then you cash out, meme always have bad long term outlook after all.
For a newbie though, I'd choose BTC. It's the least manipulated in term of chart or even in crypto market and good for learning.
