I made my first cryptocoin investments five months ago and amongst the things I have learned is be patient and don't panic, prices can fluctuate wildly and the temptation can be to buy or sell immediately in haste or panic.
However I now look at the longer term trends by looking at the charts in Tradingview or Bitshares and doing my own technical analysis from them which leads to a more relaxed life and more confidence for me in the longer term best buy or sell times or hold for investment.
Now seems a good time to be learning about cryptocurrencies and appropriately investing in them, so I believe you are doing the right thing, just be sensibly cautious and watch the price trends.
