First, let's first equate the meaning of passive income.
Passive income is money earned on an investment, or work completed in the past, that continues to make money without any additional effort.

If the crypto is used for trading, doesn't that mean that we still have some effort to get involved in it? And that can't be said as passive income, can it? This is more about active income.
On the other hand, if we make cryptocurrency assets for long-term investment, maybe we can consider it as passive income. because we only put our funds and we may not need to try too much to get involved. just monitor it and see how our portfolio is.
So, how about this?
I also believe that interest in cryptocurrencies has grown significantly during the pandemic. because of that, many new people have entered this crypto world. Like the people around me, some of them have started learning to trade and investing in basics first. This is good. but it also needs attention for beginners to be careful when they want to trade in cryptocurrency.
