You can remain a newbie for long if not forever if you don't have problem with the following
1. Cloud mining
The bitter truth is none of these so called cloud mining are real, they have no proof that they own any mining farm or whatsoever and later they will exit scam on you while you least expected, what 99% of them do is running ponzi schemes, paying B with A invested money or coins
In my opinion Could mining is never a good investment to begin with cause it was technically created to enrich the owner why the investors money are used to achieve it and also put into certain unreasonable condition.
Even some cloud mining site like Genesis Mining which was said to be legit end up scamming their investors. ,
2. Gold backed tokens
They always claim they have reserve but there is nothing to show for it, also I believe it's almost too good to be true when a project promised that their tokens can be exchange for real gold, really? Just like that? Tokens are dirty cheap to build, so why change that for gold easily?
Do you know how many real gold companies that exists in the world today? No single one of them tokenized their company assets, it's just our wishes that they are true but mind you be careful what you wish for
You make a point here and I have once created a
thread before where I did diligent research about crypto related project that claimed to be Gold backed token but lied if you know any please list there name so I can do some research about the project. Despite the lies of some precious metal backed project there are still some genuine precious metal back project which give real gold to people in exchange for their token but most previous metal backed project don't do that.
MCcryptonia, you ought to change this topic as you are advised earlier.
