Trading is not the only way to make money. Here is why!

This can be obtained only for those who are patient and really serious in the field of cryptocurrencies, because in reality many people have entered into Cryptocurreny and then left after they suffered losses.
Or there are also many Airdrop hunters and Bounty hunters who give up, after doing so many Airdrop projects that don't produce results.

This is a fact and indeed many people think that earning money from cryptocurrency is easy at first, but after knowing that there are so many failures waiting for us, it changes their minds. They actually come just for the money, and leave at a loss because they don't know the basic science of cryptocurrency and also don't understand how cryptocurrency works fundamentally.

In fact, these people are just lazy to learn about it and underestimate cryptocurrency.

That's how it is, only people who are diligent and selected will be able to survive here. Studying cryptocurrencies is also not easy if we only rely on one option, the very rapid development of crypto requires us to surf more widely to get the latest information about crypto. Because if not we will just walk in place, and maybe we will be left behind by others.

Long term planning is the way to go without a doubt. If you could put aside even a small portion of your salary into bitcoin every month for 20 years, can you imagine how rich you will be? Nobody wants to wait 20 years to be wealthy but that is the most guaranteed way to make money. Obviously a lot of people will hate it, because they are too inpatient and that means they are going to sell beforehand, or try to get rich overnight with some x100 shitcoin that they risk. Just do what most people did to get rich and retire happy, invest into something way beforehand, and you will do fine on the long run.

Look, don't make me think about it
think I could have bought bitcoins at a time that cost $40 and I didn't
I was saving money for the wedding and I didn't feel like it
so I basically made two big mistakes, one after the other

Unfortunately, these are mistakes that we carry with us forever
you have to dare in life, if you don't take risks you will have nothing

I'm not sure if doing wedding is a wromg thing, you did it anyway and I'm sure you are happy you did it. By the way, you don't have to blame yourself about not buying crypto when it was cheaper, if everyone knew that a day this kind of price will come, I'm sure many of us would have more than a bitcoin in our wallet today.

I'm skeptical why you didn't buy even when Bitcoin was trading around a thousand dollar, missing $40 should be a motivation to buy even higher. However, even though such opportunities are gone, there is gong to be one or who that will come to the market that will be worth buying, I have seen how project like Injective protocol did some months ago.

In crypto there are different ways you can actually make money without taking much risk..ain't saying this is risk free but you know, it can't be compared when you force yourself trading and losing it all in one goal

You're right, every approach has its own risks involved, as long as it has to do with cryptocurrency. Different people have different perspectives of cryptocurrency and different ways and approaches that aligns with their goals and objectives, those who trade have their own reasons why they have chosen to become traders, those who HODL also have their own reasons for HODLing and those who also choose to Stake also have their personal reasons that influences their decision even after knowing of the other available options, maybe due to past experiences or what they've been told about the other options.
The most important point to note in all these is that every approach has its own risks involved, one person's risk tolerance level may not be the others, so everyone should choose and follow their own personal approach due to their risk tolerance level.

The side ways of making money is still a method, doesn't mean that they are all amazing but it is not terrible neither. I think it is quite obvious that we are going to get some decent return if we keep grinding on those other methods as well. But I agree that by far the best method to make money is trading/investing, if you keep doing that then you are going to make a lot of money, or maybe you won't but yo would be on the right path. This means that as long asy ou do what you should be doing, and on that right path, you will get a better result eventually, you just need to get better at it.
