Don’t chase hype with borrowed money

Right now, the market is volatile — memecoins are exploding, Bitcoin is swinging, and hype cycles are everywhere. If you’re broke, don’t fall for the “get rich quick” trap. Leverage (borrowing to trade) is the fastest way to stay broke.

📚 2. Build “crypto capital” without investing money

With $0, you need to earn crypto instead of buying it:

Airdrops: Participate in legit testnets & early projects (e.g., zkSync, LayerZero, StarkNet) — these can drop thousands of dollars worth of tokens later.

Learn & Earn Programs: Binance, Coinbase, and other platforms literally pay you in crypto for completing lessons.

Freelancing for crypto: Platforms like [LaborX], [CryptoTask], or even Telegram groups pay in USDT/ETH for micro-gigs.

⚡ 3. Focus on Bitcoin & Ethereum as “anchors”

Once you earn your first bits of crypto, don’t rush into random coins. Park it in BTC or ETH first. They are volatile, but far safer than gambling on new coins right away.

🌍 4. Use cycles to your advantage

The current market is prepping for Bitcoin’s next post-halving run. Historically, this cycle (2024–2025) brings explosive growth. If you stack free crypto now through airdrops/work, you’ll be holding when the market peaks — that’s how small players turn $0 → thousands.

🛡️ 5. Your biggest weapon is patience

Most broke investors lose by chasing hype and panic-selling. A veteran knows: crypto always rewards those who survive the noise. Even $50 earned and parked in the right assets can multiply if you hold through the cycle.

🔥 Summary:

If you’re broke — don’t try to trade. Try to earn. Join projects early, gather airdrops, build skill sets, and stack slowly. Once you have something, secure it in BTC/ETH, and then only put small portions into high-risk plays.
