One of my biggest mistake in the crypto world is that I have invested in a shit coin, I invested $500 in a shitcoin of Yobit DLRS and lose all of it because it goes to zero, but actually, I already pull out my 25% of investment before it goes to zero, at first when I discovered that coin in Yobit it makes me so happy because it gives me 10% interest each day, so the first day is really good because the value of that coin goes only a little bit down, but then it goes down too quick maybe in 1 month it goes to dead coin, I am so down that time because of losing that money.
The mistake that you did, was done by many people, including me, because who is not interested in the offer that Yobit promised. But we forget that
the risk of investing in shit coins is very large, because at any time the price can drop very drastically. Because shit coins usually have low volume,
so if we sell it too late, it will be a very long time waiting for the price to rise again. Sometimes some shit coins become dead coins, and I have
experienced it several times, there are a few shit coins that I have until now I can't sell them. So my advice is that we should avoid investing
in shit coins, just choose to invest in popular coins with high volume.
Don't avoid it, Learn from your past mistakes and do something about it. As what you've said, shit-coins is high risk high reward kind of investment and it is for every shit coins out there. And as a trader, we are common to risks and failure, so instead of avoiding it, try to analyze the coins more, be more cautious about it and look for other factors such as looking for that coin here in the forum if it is gaining popularity.
