As you are a newbie here, looks very interested in new knowledges and has some experience with investments already, I would like to tell you can also invest bitcoins to earn passive extra income over them, so you don't rely only in bitcoin pumps to make profit. There are some of these investments being promoted on this forum such as FreeBitco.in which pays about 4% annually (paying about 0,01% daily). There are also casino bankroll investments which allow you to invest at the *house side* against the players, generating profit on long run, as the casino makes profit. And much more.
Disclaimer: not everyone here agrees about investing bitcoins, because there are risks involved even though the sites are reputable for years already. So you need to be very aware about the risks such as losing your entire funds, before making your final decision.
I just would like to present you this possibility for educational reasons. Good luck in your bitcoin journey!
Thank you for these thought too! I think I'll pass for now as I simply don't have the time to study enough. But maybe in the coming years, who knows. Right now I'm trying to get a grasp of the very basics of the crypto world and there's still other things going on that require time too.
