Yes that is right. The full thought has been in the title. Eveything in crypto is risky. Its price is unstable so it may go up and worst go down. Even being a bounty hunter now is risky since most projects are scam or legit projects are not reaching its softcap or hardcap so there will no payment. In trading, we must carefully choose the coin we are buying because it is a bad coin we cget nothing. But in order to earn we must take all that risk.
It is hard to determine now the scam and legit ones in cryptocurrency because those scammers are getting better and even if there are cases when there is an obvious scam, some are still willing to join that's why they don't stop even if they are busted and they would just create another project because there would always be people who are risk taker.
There is even a project now that is like bitconnect and now people are getting excited again not learning their lesson. There are so many who are warning them that it is Bitconnect 2.0 but still, so many are getting involved with it taking the risk.
