Anything concerning cryptocurrency investment cannot be trusted hundred 💯 that it will give you a profit, so therefore is not good to advice a newbie or newly investor to invest in bitcoin without knowing the right time to venture into the investment, whosoever that planing for earning should know that it's always that profit can come in into cryptocurrency investment, and it have in mind that investment of cryptocurrency and especially bitcoin do revise most times and it's not a reliable measure
Instead of advising newbies to invest in Bitcoin or any other crypto coins out there, just get their curiosity high up by telling them to explore crypto and how it differs from stock trading. People tend to back away from such opportunity when they're almost feel "forced" to. I ain't a psychologist but this is somewhat what I feel whenever people tend to tell me about my decisions about my money.
There is nothing to find like that here- passive income. You can somehow earn a profit in the crypto space but thinking we could call it passive income, ain't possible. Why? It is because of the volatile nature. Prices went up and down, and you can't even expect you can earn every day or this amount monthly, unlike in a business where you can possibly hit the target daily or monthly.
Crypto investment is just a side hustle, you can earn from here and you possibly lose as well. You can't control the market situation and so the profit that you get.
It's still passive income whenever you call it. You're still earning something without your actions. On the other side of the coin though lies a passive loss as well due to volatility. It ain't that bad anyway unless you're going full-time investing like committing all your savings to it.
