The crypto space is still relatively new and much about it is still unknown. It's the perfect place where people who are recently joining with promises of riches will get burned. Don't play with what you're unsure of, but if you do, keep the statement in the title in mind.
Not really new. But for some newbies they thought its really new since its quite often to see a place where a person suddenly becomes a millionaire with little funds they have. But not all, some are toast with those scams that they encountered and just like you said, theres no free money or easy one to acquire.
We can achieved that through luck, but by constant grind to learn and understand our mistakes, maybe there would be a greater fortune for you that awaits.
