I have been thinking about making money in cryptocurrency, but I'm hesitant to try because I don't want to get scammed i.e. didn't get any rewards for the effort I spent. I'm really curious with the current hype in 2024 and how much you've make from it? I know that scam is inevitable in altcoins, so I might be looking to earn with less risk.
What I know the current hypes in 2024 are:
1. Testnet airdrop
2. Meme coins
What about NFT or ordinals? but I think it's really risky because it's non fungible and you can't make sure people will buy your token.
What about P2E games? I haven't hear it anymore.
Probably I missed other hypes or if you know the another way of making money, feel free to comment.

I think the best way you can get risk free trading is to quit trading because there is no such way in trading where you're not having risks.
If you want to reduce the risk then there could be some options. First of all you should always invest into established and we'll known altcoins like ETH , SOL BNB etc. Don't go for the new ones especially when your a newbie in the market. If you want to invest into meme coins I'll advise you to only invest a small amount in them because they're very volatile.
