I'm still new to crypto but am always hesitant to be the first in. I'm reminded of a line from a comic (maybe decades ago) about virgins but you can apply it to virgin coins too. "A virgin?!?!, No thanks; let Captain Kirk be the first to go where no man has gone before." With that said, there will still be hordes of speculators who will dive right in.
All it boils down to is Risk Vs Reward. No approach is wrong, when it comes to this.
