That is true , but not 100 % true. For example people who get easy get a lot of money from UNISWAP airdrop . In cryptocurrency space we must always up to date about promising project. So , when can select between scam projects or not.
That's just 1 in 10,000 chance and only small amount of people gets the UNISWAP airdrop compared to the percentage of crypto users around the world and not gonna happen for the second time.
Most of people still trying to make money out of investing and trading but it's a lot more difficult to gain profit than losing the money so OP is pretty much on point about this as of now.
