snip [long sentence]..... but what most don't understand is Patience is key in the crypto world and it takes a whole lot of time to get the basics
There is no clear meaning in your paragraph. Simply because there is no conjunction between the sentence before the word "but" and the sentence after.
Always keep in mind that: The integration of the word "but" is to coordinate sentences or words in the same clause.
But, this have to be in the proper context. And there is no proper context between "false hopes made by newbies who join airdrops/bounties" and "patience in the crypto world".
I do agree that earning cryptocurrencies for free (without investment) can be done,
but it's really time consuming and depends on a lot of efforts and time available. As a result, i would not recommend anybody to try earn cryptocurrencies for free; cryptocurrencies are playing the same role of money, and there is no free money, AFAIK.
About "patience" in crypto, it's another different subject, mainly related to traders and holders.
