Well, you'll never know if you're into the right one unless it's been tested and proven for so many years. Be wise in your investments newbies, buy bitcoin and choose it as it is the most reliable one.
However, most of these newbies wanted an instant return, they just think that investing in new projects, those hyped ones, and those that are in trend are the best investment. Many got shocked at what happened with Luna, well, this is the thing we have to be aware of and to consider the fact that crypto is not a safe investment, things like this will come anytime. That is the reason why we should choose Bitcoin and some leading cryptos for the sake of having safety assurance.
Yeah, nothing new with that attitude that they want to have the quickest return for their investments. Even in the circle of my friends, they're all having the same mindset of getting rich quick through investing in the crypto market.

This isn't really new because, in the bullish year of 2017, every newbie has that thought as well.

That is going nowhere if they have that mindset because the experience will hit them hard together with the reality that it's not easy.

There is always a risk in the crypto market. But, You have to do the risk management accordingly. I wasn't surprised by the $Luna Crash, but I was surprised when I saw UST was de-pegged and it's failed to peg again. Other Stablecoins also have the risk of being de-pegged. A few days ago, USDT was de-pegged during the chain swap. USDC was de-pegged in 2020. So, there is nothing risk-free in the crypto market.

A better warning would have been to avoid centralized altcoins with no purpose such as Luna that try to fool people into thinking that they are useful, stable, offer this and that utility, etc.
Pretty much this. There's nothing more to say about shitcoins. Not using your savings for "investing", not borrowing money, not being greedy etc., should be said after you've answered yourself "What the hell is the thing that I'm buying?". If you're buying things that, at least have essence, such as stocks, bonds, metals, oil, gas etc., do ask yourself for these things. But, buying things like dogecoin, shiba, luna etc., that have no purpose, and can be re-created by humans anytime, is foolish.

In my opinion, you shouldn't put your money in altcoins. Period. If you're a newbie and do it, acknowledge that you're a fool. If you don't care, go on. But, acknowledge it.

I know most of us here already knew what happened to $LUNA but for the sake of beginners, I want to reiterate and give a warning about investing and going all in on this market.
What is certain is that your three warning elements, will be an afterthought not only for beginners, for Legendaries it is also a lesson that must be remembered, when dealing in the crypto world, what else talking about investing and trading, obviously the risk of losing knows no such thing as a beginner and a Legendary, which is basically: everyone is aware of the risk, as I read in the source below.

'I'm devastated': 3 cryptocurrency investors on losing thousands in the catastrophic Terra Luna crypto crash.

Of course, if we remember the phenomenon that happened to LUNA, this year is the worst phenomenon that has ever happened to the crypto market, maybe this will be a lesson for all crypto users, that anything can happen to crypto, that's why consider the risks the OP said, before going any further to invest and trade in the crypto market.

Since you brought up Luna I thought it was Luna related but you just repeated what everyone else has said a million times. A better warning would have been to avoid centralized altcoins with no purpose such as Luna that try to fool people into thinking that they are useful, stable, offer this and that utility, etc. while they remain useless and their price can dump significantly simply because they have no value.
What happened to Luna is also wrong timing, the tragedy happened during the bloody market, so for sure a lot of people were affected and most of them are "double dead" because sure even those other people who have other baskets that are non Luna related investments are also affected somehow.

Just like me, I thought I was safe during the dump because before I converted to stablecoin, but I converted on the wrong stablecoin, which is UST.

CRYPTO INVESTING - SHORT REMINDER

1. DON'T USE YOUR SAVINGS FOR YOUR INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES - Use your separate funds if you are going to invest on any market and make sure that you are ready to lose that money because investing is not a guaranteed way to make profit, so have some funds for this.

2. DON'T BORROW MONEY - Many still do the same mistake like this and when the market turns to negative, they are also drowning and the situation will get worst simply because they use the money which is not them. If you want to become profitable, save for your capital first.

3. DON'T BE GREEDY - If you already lose money, you should stop for a while and study again so you can know what's wrong with your strategy and start analyzing again so you can do better next time.

These are basic guides that will make we beginners stay away from losing money again even after we might have lost before.we are suppose to live everything for now and learn more in order to avoid falling victim on such incidents again. $Luna has showed many of us lesson and we are still learning lesson everyday, so it's better we learn and gain more knowledge so that we will be ready for such disappointment again.

this is a reminder for everyone, not just newbies.
If in a state of urgency someone will definitely do the unexpected. Using savings, borrowing money for investment, of course it has a high risk, because there will be a return that is deposited and the savings that have been collected will be used. If it is forced, then you must be absolutely sure that you can return what has been borrowed.

At some point, people had committed mistakes about borrowing money to start investing due to the wrong choice of coins. Most of this has been visible to newbies. However, I don't agree with not doing this but be sure that we have other sources of income to back up in the case of losses and still have the money to pay the debts left.
Quote
Last but not least, don't be greedy, of course this is the nature of all human beings, just how can you maintain your psychology well, if you're already profitable, don't expect too much.
Honestly, I was greedy in real life but I know when I use this, and perhaps I know how to control this feeling. I take every single opportunity that I know will give me money, that is greediness, right? But I'd never find it wrong as long, I only just do what I think is right.

I know most of us here already knew what happened to $LUNA but for the sake of beginners, I want to reiterate and give a warning about investing and going all in on this market.

I saw a post online in our local group about money investing and he shared his experience their about losing all his life saving money because of $LUNA investment, this is very heart breaking and that guy really want to end his life which I hope he wont do it. This is why I want to list some of the reminders about crypto investment and I hope every beginners here won't do the same mistake.

I agree with you to some length about greed, but sometimes in business greed can take someone to higher level. For instance, as the OP said one should stop and look at what's wrong with the previous strategy then do some analysis. What if in the period I am doing my analysis in the waiting that was when the market boomed and pumped up, that if I had invested immediately after the lost maybe I would have regained but no cause I was strategizing and analyzing in waiting.

All of those reminders are on point.

The current most hot issue about Luna and UST have thought these lessons to those who lost a lot of money including their life savings. Saw some investors who have borrowed money just to invest in Luna alone.

Lots of newbies coming into cryptocurrency don't really understand what crypto is all about and some don't even believe they can lose money in trading due to what they have been hearing people saying, most people only talk about their profit and they don't talk about lost, most newbies don't even know the risk involved in Cryptocurrency.
In Cryptocurrency trading always invest any amount you can afford to lose, you should invest the amount that if you lose, it won't affect your health condition. Also as a cryptocurrency trader, you should never borrow money to invest in any coin, because no coin can be trusted and anything can happen to any coin at any time.
I believe as a professional, if you are trying to teach any newbie cryptocurrency, I believe you should always let them know they can lose thier money and they should always invest what they can afford to lose.

This is just a short reminder since I want to highlights the important things you need to know before investing.
There's a lot of news about suicide incidents because of losing money on their investments, and I don't want you to ended up on the same path so please do your own research first and again invest only what you can afford to lose.
Suicide reports are probably the worse. Newbies must be not careless and join the bandwagon cause it hyped. The Luma incidents show how bad it is for some investors who even loan their investment for such projects. Yes luna has a good experimentation process of stablecoin however there are some plots they didnt see coming and vulnerable to such whale aggresive powers. What I hate is the founder is so arrogant maybe this is karma for him but bad for the investors whom suffered more.
Newbies should never resort into suicides whenever their investments are not meeting their expectations. Investments have always its chances to fall, some may take a long time before it falls, while others shut down easily after a week or two. So investors should always be open that not all investments work, and that they should never lose hope and still focus on the positive things that will bound to happen in the future. And always invest on the amount they can afford to lose to avoid life's struggles and miseries in the future.

2. DON'T BORROW MONEY - Many still do the same mistake like this and when the market turns to negative, they are also drowning and the situation will get worst simply because they use the money which is not them. If you want to become profitable, save for your capital first.
This is the worst mistake anybody can make, this in particular is not for newbies alone, though the impact on newbies will likely be worst due to their lack of enough experience and knowledge to make proper decision of how to invest their borrowed money.
But we still need to advice everyone, even the not so newbie kind of investors amongst us to avoid borrowing money to invest in crypto.
Only do this if you are 100 % sure you will have no problem paying back the money even when the money gets lost, and that even after paying back the money, you will still be fine with your family.

I've heard stories of people who borrowed huge sums of money and invested it in crypto, and unfortunately, they haven't gotten the money back and the date for repayment of the loan arrived, it became a big problem for them and their families, worst of it all is borrowing money from banks, banks show no mercy , they don't mind throwing you and your family out of your house and putting up the house for sale, so better watch it and avoid that has to do with borrowing to invest in, not just crypto but also, other financial instruments.

Those are the golden tips on how to avoid losses in all types of investments. Also, before you start to invest, always know the risks and its pros and cons because if you can't handle its pressures in the future, then don't bother investing in the first place. The moment you quit in the middle of your investments, you will only suffer from huge losses in the end. Particularly for crypto, this is a very volatile investment, so one should not expect for quick profits so you will not be misled.

I don't see any wrong with borrowing money if the reason is to start for investment. But what went wrong if we use it to invest the wrong coins.
Maybe I'm wrong but this idea has been a practice for many years ago, we just adopted it but neither we have to change this for as long as we know what kind of investment we have.

I agree also that there is a disadvantage to doing this, however, I don't find it a big mistake. In fact, many rich people commit debts to run their business, they'll take risks as well, the same thing we do upon investing in crypto.

I have encountered many Filipinos on Facebook who are either one of these three (and maybe all of them) because they are getting FOMO’d not just on LUNA, but in any other project before until today as they are not doing their own research.

But most of them I have encountered is that they’ve spent all of their life savings into LUNA and futures trading without doing much research, no to very less experience, etc., that results for them to being greedy and losing everything.

There’s one stock investor I have encountered who is going all-in on LUNA and futures trade. He was suppose to get married with his long time girlfriend, but ended up losing everything of his life savings because of this decision. We just simply can’t do anything about it anymore except learn our lessons, reflect and move on.

As a newbie, I am learning every day in here. This is such good advice.
 For myself, I've made a plan on my earnings. It helps a lot.
I divide my assets into 75% & 25%
I keep the 75% as a saving and emergency usages.
25% on the other hand, I use it for various reasons.
10% (out of 25%) for investment
10% for trading and lastly
5% for day to day life expenses

This is a great way to keep your money safe. BUT in crypto world, never listen to others.
Do your own research and make a plan that will help you save your money and make more out of it.

Investing all the money you have into an altcoin is wrong in so many ways. It's as if you were to take everything you owned and put it on black on roulette. Just let the ball decide. Investing your life savings into Bitcoin is already an awful thing to do, let alone putting everything on an alt. Unfortunately, no matter how many times this is repeated, people will continue to gamble and speculate with money that can destroy their lives and well being.

This is the case with most of the investors that they invest without any research of their own and under the influence of so called paid crypto influencers who are Shilling fake information about the project to pump it and the big whales and token creator make money out of them as project is baseless.

Investors who don't have knowledge have their own pre assumptions regarding bitcoin that it's too volatile,too expensive and can be dead but they are easily eroded in these shitcoins that they invest more than they afford to loose because once you have invested in these shitcoins money is automatically lost most of the times.The recent example of stable coin going to zero is perfect case for them but they will not understand it and keep on the way so we will see such scenarios each time.

Hold bitcoin if you can for long term for future growth.
