Investing & Expectations
Always research before investing. Contrary to what you would ordinarily think, do not invest in coins that are “doing well”. This means they have already moved up and you will likely be exit liquidity. Invest in coins that have a lot of room for growth, have survived at least one bear market, and that are “sleeping giants”
It depends on the coin, timing, and strategy. Some coins offer high returns, but there’s no guarantee. Start small and learn as you go.
