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.
If you want to sustain your daily needs easily then you can really rely on cryptocurrency, becoming a trader is a much easier life since you had your freedom and you can do side line jobs as well while working at home.
