Your advice is a good reminder that despite all the hype...it isn't always gravy...truth be told...a lot of folks who have made gains are ones who bought in at first of year or earlier than that...because of the price they were able to buy in at...they have gains regardless of current lower prices...then there are those who regularly trade and perhaps are good enough to make money in a fluctuating market like this...but as I've learned about most "gamblers"...you only hear about the winnings not the losses...

Those who have come on board more recently...have faced a much rockier time of it...however...I wouldn't give up on it totally...I might suggest buying a small piece of a few better known coins and just holding...if this technology continues to move ahead...you will be pleased with the long term results...but as always...only invest what you can afford to lose...
