like you said the good but also worrying thing is that it is like shooting fish in a barrel. I cant think of any Crypto I made real loses from. I bought Antshares(Neo) for 10$ because I thought China is gonna lead the Crypto revolution, I am up 15x despite the ban... I bought a lil Eth, LTC and Monero just for the brand names they are up 5x, I bought a few dollars worth of Lumen because it was such a low coin value (early day mistake?) those few dollars are almost 100 by now...

Ofc I did some research, but like you said without deep IT knowledge all you get is promises.
