A certain platform token has climbed back above 900! To be honest, I’ve always felt this thing is bound to keep going up sooner or later.

Lately, I’ve become the “evangelist” among my newbie friends—specifically introducing the benefits of holding platform tokens to those just entering the space. Even though I haven’t broken even myself yet (lol with tears), I still have faith. I just feel that in the long run, it’ll definitely get more and more stable.

Then I made a typical rookie mistake: I saw a bunch of people hyping $ASTER on the forums, and as a university student, I couldn’t help but follow the trend and bought 20. I’m treating it like buying a lottery ticket—if I lose, it won’t hurt too much.

What’s worse, a few days ago I couldn’t resist playing with contracts and went short on ETH, and lost another sum. Isn’t there a saying, “If you have money, don’t go to Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou; but if you’re in trouble, you’ll short Ethereum”? Why doesn’t it work for me?

Turns out I really need to control myself and stick to long-term investing, instead of always thinking about making a quick buck.

I want to ask the experienced folks: for a university student like me, besides dollar-cost averaging into mainstream coins, are there any other solid investment suggestions? Please show me the way!
