My friend tricked me for many years. Over the past decade, he kept advising me on investments:

- In 2011, he told me to buy $BTC

- In 2016, he told me to buy $ETH

- In 2017, he told me to buy $BNB

- In 2019, he told me to buy $SHIB

- In 2023, he suggested I buy $PEPE

Luckily, I didn't fall for it; I knew they were all scams. I'm relieved I didn't listen because most friends who bought BTC and Ethereum now live lavishly, with fancy cars, beautiful companions, and global travel. But that's not the life I want. I don't envy them. I value the challenges and competition in my job and the rewards from hard work. I prefer earning wealth through real work, not speculation or luck. I focus on established coins and aim for solid success.
