Why most cryptocurrencies are scams?
5 min readMay 12, 2024
Heads up, because it’s about to get intense: Crypto is a scam. Yes, you read that correctly, no jokes here. Why? Here’s a truthful article to think over, especially for those who have just started exploring cryptocurrencies this year or the last.
Key points for beginners
- If you’re a newbie, stick to Bitcoin and Ethereum. No exceptions.
- Altcoins for the long hold? Historically, that’s never been a thing. Only two cryptos count for this — Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Altcoins are scams. I can say with certainty your wallet will “lighten” faster than you think. It’s not a question of if, but when.
- Easy money? No, just an easy way to lose money.
- Want to earn? Learn and work hard, there’s no other way. A lot of hard work.
- Blogger advisors or Telegram channels? Check their background and reviews first. Less than 5–7 years in crypto? They’re not your mentors.
The cryptocurrency market can be divided into three categories:
1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Altcoins (everything other than the first two)
