Crypto is one of the avenues of getting rich yet it should be understood that it does not happen overnight. Getting rich in crypto requires a lot of dedication, hard work and patience. People do not see the essence of crypto investment because they want to get rich quickly, hence, hurriedly invest in projects that follow the pump and dump trend.
Remember, one key to success is patience.
As for me my opinion is that even those who have bought Bitcoin in 2009 and became insanely rich in 2017 needs to hold bitcoin for 8 years to prosper with it. So I am highly doubting that position.
