Many beginners want's to become a trader, but they are skipping the process and start looking for an exchange as much as possible without knowing how to trade well. Trading is not that easy, it requires a lot of research, and analysis treat trading as your Job!
People are used to instant gratification nowadays that's why many are being impatient that they cannot immediately have their profit causing to more losses. Many just can't wait for it any longer that's why some would join pump and dump groups but instead of having instant profits, many would incur instant losses.
One of my friend asked me about the current exchange he is using, and what coins to buy so he can make profit. Well, I don't give any advice regarding on this one because for me if you want to make profit you should know it on your own. I just give some advice that if he really wants to become a trader, go take the process, learn more and you will see what coins to buy especially during this bear trend.
It's good that you advise him to do that because when people get used to being told what coin to buy, they would not exert any effort in doing in on their own thus the reason why many are joining paid groups so that they would not have any hard time analyzing the trades on their own.
