Yes was a newbie too, made some bad trades and lost money. I learned many things too. I watched youtube videos and did not do research myself. After the Chaincoin pump, I invested in Syndicate Coin thinking it will pump as well but it lost the hype and I lost a money on that. They say experience is the best teacher good or bad, each investment is a risk you should be prepared to lose and do not put money you do not afford to lose.
