Speaking of putting effort into something, do you agree with me that there are some people who are putting effort or putting a lot of energy into the wrong thing? It could be the wrong investment or another thing, be it business, etc. So, it's not just about putting in an effort or putting in positive energy; it's also about putting in those efforts and energy in the right place and at the right time. Apart from bitcoin, you also said "cryptocurrency." So, for example, imagine someone who has been investing in Tera Luna and has not taken any profit until it crashed.

I think we need the right information, the right knowledge, effort, positive energy, passion, luck, etc. Like in the OP's topic, "it ain't meant to be easy," but at least someone needs those above-listed qualities to surf through. Definitely, it will not be easy, but some times and in some cases, you can diversify a little and try something different, but instead, some people will just keep putting effort into something that can just be fruitless at the end of the day.
