never believe what people say about something before you do your own research.
as a beginner you need to spend most of your time to do your own research other than doing any trade.
in cryptoworld,people did not spend 100% all of their time to make a trade,
but instead they're spending 90% of it to do the research,and the rest to make the trade.
why ? because everything can be happen with it,
you can double all of your money in the next day and you can lose it all in the next day.
knowledge is a window,you need to look at it everyday in order to get any news about outside world.
everything can be a clue to make your own strategy,
lastly,it would be better for you to hold it if you can not control your emotion.
try to learn everything while you're holding it,
I DOUBT if he knows what to research and how to research.
