I am a 19-year-old computer science student. For a while, I have been trying to earn money, but I struggled to figure out how. I explored options like e-books, digital products, Instagram, YouTube, and surveys. However, I found that they are either too simplistic to generate real income or too demanding and time-consuming.
After extensive searching, I narrowed my focus down to two paths. The first was learning skills related to my major as a CS student, followed by freelancing or similar work; however, progress in this area has been very difficult and slow. The second path was trading. After researching it for some time, I realized I could not manage the Indian stock market alongside my college studies, so I dropped that idea.
This led me to my current endeavor: researching memecoin trading. Initially, I thought it was simply a matter of following trends on Instagram. However, as I dug deeper, I learned about pump-and-dump schemes and rug pulls, which made me realize that very few coins grow organically based on trends or news. Most are driven upward by whales and their communities.
Suddenly, my entire perspective was shattered, and now I am torn about whether I should proceed or not. I would greatly appreciate any advice, insights, or personal experiences you could share to help me navigate this.
