Here in my country, I felt the strictness of the KYC requirements after Bitcoin hit the mainstream. Back in 2017, I was using just our local wallet named Coins and the verification stuff was not strict back then but then it suddenly got a little bit more strict as the day goes by.
It might not be noticeable at hindsight, but dang, the government won't really let these things unregulated as the adoption goes by.

My colleagues called a lot of NFTs an ass just from what happened to what they used to hold back then. After a month of so, they realized that rug pull was on and what they are currently holding is worthless now. It is risky and it is not even worth the gains. High risk - low reward.
I invested back then and I just stopped buying more from what happened to ICO in 2017.

I mean if user is here just to join discussion, ranking up shouldn't be like something to be worried of.
If you mean "good opportunities" as "earning" here in the forum, then there's absolutely plenty of better opportunities outside the forum and that would be better than just pursuing those shit bounties.

To be honest, I am not surprised with this considering that NFTs became like a trend around here in my country especially those play to earn games stuffs that I am not really a fan of.
Although that is not Bitcoin, I can see people leaning towards it since it is the dominant crypto of all and you would not fail to see it nor hear it at least once for sure.
Bitcoin has been here for so long, so.... we should expect a lot of "elders".

Uh it is yes and no.
Yes for cheaper price, but no for obvious reasons that you might end up investing to a shitcoin which is waaaay common in the altcoin market.
I had some coins invested back in 2017 and they were dumped really bad and loss value just couple of months after the listing.

I now use Telegram for my clients and had some crypto-related tasks that I did not expect. I encountered a lot of referrals and scam links that were obviously just an attempt to take money from me.
Good thing I do not bother reading those kinds of messages. After a day, I just found out that those scammers ended up being a "Deleted User" just like what you see in Discord.

My bad for my wording, OP.
I hope the answers above were really an encouragement for you, since you are free to navigate, read and join discussion around here anyway.
There are just those boards that do not really fit your fancy and that is okay. I am already a Full Member, and I do not visit nor comment on Mining section since crypto mining is not really my fancy, and I would not be able to create a constructive opinions nor questions.

Well I am not sure if that still happens, but back then I used to find airdrops in here. I am not sure if NFT airdrops do exist in here since I do not bother doing that anyway after I was scammed and almost got my wallet hacked.
Not sure if those NFT airdrops in Twitter are worth the risk, but hey it is social media site, you never know.

I don't think you are scared to comment at all, OP. You are just scared to be criticized or be taught by other users here.
You should not restrict yourself in making comment if you know what is going on in the thread or you at least "read the room".  Just feel free to express your constructive opinions here.
In the end, this is the internet after all and different people would treat you differently.

You write good post. It's not a rocket science though you need to work for it a lot. If you are here in the forum primarily just for earning money, then I am not surprised that you are asking these kinds of questions. Sadly if you do not change your ways soon, I had doubts that you would even earn a single merit nor money in this forum.
There are plenty of ways to earn outside the forum if you're keen.

Regardless anyway in the internet, I treat people with titles like just a normal human being that I might come across in my everyday travel unless I am "officially" under that person like an employee or something. Even in my own freelancing business, I had met few CEOs managing their ecommerce website and I just talk to them like a normal human being.
Plus why would I even give anyone an access to my own wallet.

Aren't most of them are to be doubt for anyway? I had some tokens back in 2017 that just went crap when I just checked its price last year. Though that was an old project and not really what you call "new project", knowing  that these projects won't even last just tells it all.
This is one of the reason I stopped pursuing altcoins too much.

Surely all these 8 reasons are also the same application outside crypto.
It is not just all happening to crypto and from what I even watched, those "fake email" scams are way more often than crypto.
Cryptocurrency is just their another means of how can they scam people

Still people are able to still get their own non custodial wallet, so that is still nice. Surely independent merchants would consider using this if it was like a common thing around their area.
Maybe these adoption that we were hearing are not really being published in the news as people do not really like government to interfere with their business once they adopt Bitcoin.

Worst BTC bearish market? Where did you get this information, OP?
I am pretty sure this ain't the "bearish" market in fact that I even encountered the price of 3k per BTC couple of years back.
Surely these indicators are not serious aren't they?

From what happened to the old Cambridge Analytica scandal, I would not trust Facebook that much. I would not even involve my wallet nor my money if there was an option to do so. I am not sure how owuld Zuckerberg would implement this in terms of scalability considering that there are way too many users now in Facebook, lol.

That is just..... going by the hype OP. You should not even try to just listen to these Youtubers by their words as some of them are just paid shill and might be cover-up for a shitty project.
Meme coins do not have no utility at all other than ..... well being a meme.
I would just go for BTC if I were you.

First, are you looking for short-erm gains or long-term ones? BTC and ETH are usually the go for when it comes to these long-term investment.
Avalanche since kind of being mentioned quite a lot in here, but I suggest doing a further research with it.
If you are not really into rush, just go BTC and call it a day.

Lol, there way too many people that are like that. It is not just those dog coins or even dogshit coins, also those meme coins that you know that won't even last. I guess people can be comfortable due to how hyped a particular meme is.
Good thing that I did not made my final decision back when I was still starting in crypto to buy these crappy coins.

There is no minimum anyway. Just expect a long-term hold right now just from how Bitcoin went down. Really a cheap price for me as of the moment if you would ask me, but the decision would still be up to you.
About if "that would get you anywhere", in a longer term, it is obviously yes.
