It's almost entirely scams, dont do research here. Learn the basics about hash functions and how proof of work works before buying anything other than bitcoin. Also figure out how to use and secure bitcoin before putting significant money into this market.the last thing you want to do is buy a bunch of crypto and then lose it.

crypto is not like stocks that have real tangible value, it's easy to look at a stock and safely invest in it because you can assume it will have real world value, for example it was a guarantee amazon would eventually get big because ebay used to be fucking huge and amazon in its infancy was basically ebay 2.0
the problem with /biz/ retards is they try to view crypto as something tangible and valuable but it's not
it is a CURRENCY and you can't just invest in a fucking currency and hope you get rich
you have to constantly flip it and basically work it as a full time job so you can inch your way up little by little through small gains

trading crypto is fundementally no different from trading normal real life currency, people who view it as a "hold till I get rich" scheme are retarded, literally nobody has every retired off of etherium or other crypto, the only people who got rich were mass bitcoin holders solely due to a fluke

holy fuck it's too late for you. took months upon months to get comfortable looking outside of the top 20
your best bet is to buy a bunch of monopolies
ETH, LINK, BTC all represent pretty much complete dominance over their domains (smartcontracts, oracles, and currency)
I would say MakerDao is a better usable currency system than bitcion, but you are a complete new fag and it's for specialists to understand. Luckily it's built entirely on ETH, so you gain exposure to it just by buying ETH.
So you could just get away with buying ETH and/or LINK

Trading is like gambling in a Casino. The odds will always be slightly against you. Whales, bots, exchanges conveniently going down at the worst possible times, fees on every trade. You are fighting an uphill battle. Just because 1 jackass out of 20 might get lucky and make money trading doesn't mean you will. Most traders lose money. You buy BTC and hodl or you most likely get fucking rekt. And you will get rekt trying to hold bitcoin too if you don't actually have the strong hands that grow out of believing in the tech. Of course this requires understanding the tech, which will take some very real research and studying that no one can do for you. And not just the tech, but the macro economic reasons why it is so deeply needed in the first place. There is a reason people refer to getting into crypto as "Falling down the rabbit hole" I don't know how many thousands of hours I've spent keeping up with crypto and economics. And that's after coming up to speed initially. Of course I already had a pretty good understanding of macro economics and comp sci even before I heard of bitcoin which gave me an edge most don't get, but it STILL took months before I felt like I truly understood what bitcoin was and the value proposition it offered.

Half of the people in this space get antsy doing nothing and thinks if they do more "research" in the crypto space they can increase their gains but in reality finding the 1 shitcoin out of 1000 that will actually moon and hold value is so unlikely that its financial suicide.
That or trading, the other half thinks they're the next trading prodigy. they're not.
