Same. I have been doing crypto hardcore since 2018. It has been awesome.
I follow crypto super super closely, and the best advice I can give to people is to only buy solid projects with solid teams that name their leaders. DO NOT buy coins that are just getting hype, and are very likely paying people to hype them on platforms like TikTok.
The biggest hype offenders are XRP, Cardano, and Shiba Inu. I strongly suggest you run from them like the plague. You may get lucky and make money with them, but they are doing everything they can to prop up their prices on hype and not substance. The risk for massive price drops with them without bounce-backs is way way too huge to even remotely consider buying into them, in my opinion.
If you want to make money, I suggest you buy and hold Chainlink (LINK) and Energy Web Token (EWT) for 2 to 5 years. Buy hold, and stay away form hype garbage.
