Being new to steem thats good news for me. Some people put to much emphasis on the coin value. The real value is the networks they are built on. The potential is massive. People like to see those spikes earn them profit but eventually it should stabilize and be fairly consistent rather than so volatile. SO really when investing in crypto you want to make sure you research the network, what the network is capable of, what the people behind the networks are doing so then you can see if there is actually a potential to earn from that crypto.
