If you don't have money, or are too scared to invest, then consider doing airdrops and bounties. I know that there are hundreds of airdrops on this forum and there is a live bounty from candlelabsdotorg. Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways are great ways to make money in crypto- if you have the time.
Besides money, time is also a very valuable capital for everyone and if a person cannot use time very well in his life, then he will also experience losses.
That's why it's important to always choose and research well whatever is in this forum (Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways). Because not all Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways can be very good to follow especially if some of them all pay very little in size and it's not really worth the time they spend on Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways.
whatever you will follow (Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways) is something good because doing things with good intentions, hoping that it will always produce good things too. but we know that now is not as good as it was in 2017, many have committed fraud in every way so that many do not pay. even if paid is not commensurate with what is done, it is too small and the gas cost is even more expensive than the gift.
You are right, always continue to do good research before you really want to take part (Airdrops, Bounties, and Giveaways) because you can't guarantee what will happen in the future. the goal of being able to find money for capital can not be achieved properly, because all is lost with the news that there is no payment.
Investments in new projects must indeed be analyzed as well as possible so that your capital does not disappear and is swallowed up by fraud that continues to flourish and cannot be overcome.
even though the investment goal is to be able to produce but is disappointed with the reality after it is not in accordance with previous predictions.
