I don't know if such topic already exists, but since this is my first thread here on altcointalk forum, I will like to make this as a warning and a reminder to all newbies, don't go into cryptocurrency trading simply because you see someone close to you making profits from trading.
Going into trading without adequate knowledge will increase your chances of losing your money' by 10x because at that stage, you are prone to emotions a d greed, so wait until you increase in knowledge and rank before venturing into trading to safe yourself from possible unrecoverable loses.
I will say for beginners, buying and holding for the very long run is the best option to take. Though the level of confidence is important too, cause the market is always on a fluctuating movement, and without confidence in the market/system, a newbie will end up buying high and selling low, incurring loss to him/herself.
It is okay to get into the crypto industry in any methods, be it emotions, interest or fun, but going into crypto trading by emotions or fun is a very wrong step to take. Cause crypto trading is a real deal, you go in unprepared, you come out empty, if you go in prepared, self-discipline with determine if you'll come out profitably or few profits.
