If you don't believe in this new technology, and just want to earn quick money, I think you will probably not achieve what you want.
All I want to say is be patient, live your life, and don't get too emotional by all the negative news/FUD. Yes, crypto might be ended in a really bad way and you lose most/all your money. But if you truly believe in the new technology, just invest the projects you like the most and hold until it gets mature and returns.
Yes you are definitely right. Many people don't believe in Cryptocurrency because they think that it is not true. If they invest their money in this Cryptocurrency they think that it going to bankrupt. In life we need to take a risk in any situation to try if we going to go up or go down. You're not going to get if what you want if you're not taking the risk.
