Do not lie to people about what crypto is just so they would not think of it as something not worthwhile. Rather explain eagerly. I did this so that my friend would not worry about my financial state and if he ends up becoming interested in bitcoin then I would be glad to continue teaching him.
People deceive by what they see on different social media platforms how do the influencers and crypto referral people engage with the cryptocurrency so they can earn a lot to their followers as their benefit at the same time, some of those say that they can earn here with free money with a casual gain income but once they joined already and get overcommitted and they make a mistake due to lack of knowledge now they will realize that once you join in crypto not all the time you've got earning is assured. All time and effort will be given just to make sure the spot with a good project and of course how does the market move if they want to make an investment. Frankly I always tell to those newbie have a bigger sight with the crypto it could be a life changing it depends how you handle in the situation if your asset.
