6. “Cryptocurrency will make you rich — you’re late if you’re not in.”
On the opposite side of the spectrum… we have hype-based advice.
The idea that crypto is a guaranteed ticket to wealth is one of the most misleading financial narratives.
Crypto is volatile, unregulated in many regions, and often dominated by speculation. Yes, there’s potential — but also huge risk.
In 2025, many people still jump into crypto because of FOMO, not strategy.
The reality:
Crypto can be part of your portfolio, but only:
-
if you understand the risks,
-
if it’s a small allocation,
-
and if it’s not money you need soon.
No investment is guaranteed — especially not crypto.
