Research for newbies is very tricky because there are analysis like fundamentals and technicals that need to be done properly, to narrow this down for newbies I would suggest they should stick to bitcoin only, it more trusted and doesn’t need extensive knowledge to invest in, except if it is trading, you just need to just hodl for a very long time, no need for FOMO or anything.


Since they are not reliable as you have stated then we can’t quantify the information from there as been good. One thing is avoid those influencers on social media, most are paid just to advertise shitcoins.

The social media is a ground for all kinds of scam, paid promoters take advantage of the social mdia using their influencial personality to deceive unsuspecting users. You can hardly get verified informations from  the social media, to be on safe side it to never take social media information serious not until you do your own research about it through verified channel's.

That is one of the reasons why it is advise to do your deep research, so the you don’t get scammed off your hard earned money.
