I was one of the victims of such a mindset which is why I certainly disagree with you.
 1st - crypto is not a rich scheme - that is why you will never expect about becoming rich especially if you only invested a small amount.
 2nd - earning a profit relies on what coins we invest and unfortunately, these cheap coins are mostly shitcoins (unless there are hypes and market manipulations happening that make you earn more).
 3rd - potential coins are expensive but they are sustainable long-term which is ideal for those who want to hold long-term. And most likely are coins that will pump.
