As long as you are equipped with proper knowledge and a bunch of information regarding crypto then you will gain profits in short, mid and long run.

The risk in cryptocurrency is surely high but the reward of it is higher compare to other investments like stocks, bonds, ETF's etc. If you are good in trading then you can profit more than what you are earning right now. Its good that you didn't jumped off in investing into crypto first but you gained important information regarding this concept.

TBH, most of the investors doesn't do a research anymore and this results into more scam that is happening. It is a big mistake to just throw your money into something you don't even understand. Investing into one investment just because you heard that it is more profitable than other investments is wrong.
