It is undeniable that newbies are indeed the target of new projects that are made as hype as possible. Making a profit from newbies who are indeed very innocent and greedy to get rich quickly is a fairly easy way for scammers or developers of fake hype projects.
One thing for sure for me is that, in this whole year 2024 memecoin hype I have not paid attention to any of them, and even not to participate in their airdrops, alot of them where put in my phase by some of my friends but I always tell them straight up that I am not interested.
But such rejection won't be coming from a newbie because at each point he may likely give in, and becoming a potential victims.
At least we have control over our own decisions, based on experience, knowledge, and consideration. New projects are usually always hyped, and this cannot always be relied on for the long term. In fact, this is a short-term project that must immediately take profits when the price is good enough.
Yes, it is the right decision not to be associated with various new projects that are hyped, if indeed it is based on convincing personal considerations. Even if you want to join, make sure you have really analyzed it well, and do not spend money to get the new coin.
Personally, I have joined several new projects but only for airdrops and playing games. And all of that was done without a high target, while filling my free time. and not spending money on investment. So, if the new project is successful, consider it a bonus, if not, consider it just an experience
