If you are just focusing on investment then there will be more scam in case of investment in new coins but with old coins there is no chance of getting scammed so I think you should invest in old and top coins so you can get good revenue if you understand about the investment and have patience.
In the field of crypto one can gain a good amount of passive income but for that he should utilize his own money in order to increase it with the passage of time but most of the people desire to earn with the mechanisms that are free of cost. Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and Solana are good sources of investment that can give you good profit if you understand about these coins, and think about the target value and target time up to which you will hold these coins.
