Making your own research is not something that newbies are good at, that's why
they are looking at others and what they are saying. Doesn't mean that they are doing the right thing, just means that they are doing it because they have no other option.
That is still their own research, isn't it? It's up to them to decide what to believe in the end.
What they should do instead is stay away from bitcoin and crypto until you know more about it, and learn how to research. But since they want to get in as soon as possible, they make mistakes.
This happens a lot during the bull run for example, they see people making millions from crypto and they get in without needing to get in too much and that causes a lot of trouble for them, don't know what else they could do.
Is there even one person on the planet who at any given moment knows exactly where Bitcoin is going, up or down? I don't think so. The only thing many of us here are sure of is that a new ATH will be reached in the future. But we can't say, when exactly it will take place, and, newbie or pro, no one in the world can do it either. So, I would not suggest to newbies to stay away from Bitcoin. Rather, I would suggest to trade little by little, with small insignificant amounts, and even when they think they know everything, still not risk more than they can afford to lose.
