The year is 2024 and we still have many newbies flooding into crypto space as we speak, they have one goal in mind, to make money from crypto projects, we all can't change their minds to go for Bitcoin only, at least until they get better with doing their own research.
Everyone in the crypto space has the mindset of getting rich, not just the newbies. What I know the newbies are always doing is looking for quick ways to make money in the crypto space, which is very wrong, most of them do end up being scammed. If you are just joining crypto, I will only encourage you to invest in bitcoin, but I will never force you. After telling you the necessary things that you should know, it’s left for you to follow what I say or not.
For example, copied white paper is no longer a big red flag like before, I said this because even big projects do this today, and change some things in a whitepaper or let me use the word "finetune" to their own tastes.
If I can see a project with copied white paper, then it’s a total red flag for me. What do you have to offer when you can’t just take your time to write your white paper yourself? I can never invest my money in any project that copies a white paper, I don’t care if the project is big or not.
