It is not free money and here is no guarantee you will make money, you either go broke or succeed.
That's a very toxic mindset, but unfortunately, what people subject themselves to due to their stupidity. OGs buy in because of the whole idea behind it and that motivates them to hodl through any market cycle effortlessly.
It requires a long term view, but it's one that will bring in the real growth instead of people desperately trying to swing trade without success. It's almost like gambling for them. After a loss they try to win it back but lose even more....
There is no "free money" left to be made like was the case last year. The bubble popped. It really didn't matter what coin you bought last year, it went up a lot. Everyone suddenly became an expert at that time. Now nothing is left of that.
