Considering how Internet is a mixed bag of different kinds of people, I think that there will be people that are going to fall for it. I know that I seem pessimistic about people not falling for this kind of scam but I am just projecting what reality is, there are absolutely clueless people out there that are finding ways to earn money online and the moment that they saw this ad, the desperation to earn a quick buck is going to set in and they are going to bite the bait. It really depends, the only giveaway I will stay away from is when they are asking for money to enter but if there is no strings attached then I might consider.

Trading on demo is not a waste of time, perspective matters on this one, if you don't want to release any money out of your own pocket to gain some trading experience, demo trading is a good way to start because it can help you do some risky trades and find out the result without the worry that you are going to lose money, demo trading is good for newbie traders because they gain experience without losing as much as 1 USD. Just because many people lose money trading doesn't mean that you have to do the tradition of losing money, the smart ones learn from the mistakes of others.

Put this topic on the Scam Accusations board, you can see the "move topic" on the lower left of this thread and click it and move it there and edit it to follow the scam format. I don't much about how much 1 VET is but if some website tells me that they are going to double it, I am going out of that website as fast as I can, there is no such thing as double your money, and anyone who says so is definitely a scammer or crazy.

The title did mislead me too, I thought there was something worth reading but then it was just some user shilling something. I don't know how to answer because what exactly is being studied, there is an array of fields that can be studied by anyone so we will leave it at that. Copy trading will work if you checked the portfolio of the person that you are copying and you have the money to sponge the possibility of losses that you are going to get when you copy trade.

Newbies are definitely going to fall for this but I think other traders falling for it is highly unlikely because of the reason why would you go for a new exchange when the old one is working just fine, I mean have they heard of the saying, "If it ain't broke don't fix it."? Because that is the case when they are going to switch to a new exchange with some questionable add-ons that as @dothebeats say, scream scam.

Well yeah it is a good plan that you are making yourself knowledgeable about trading, it is a good stepping stone if you don't want to be stuck in a 9-5 job which slowly kills you. Be careful about making trading as your career as you have to be really good at it to make some money so you can sustain your daily needs, try to get some experience at the same time that you are learning about the theoretical parts of trading, you can get the feel little by little with that.

I have heard of this kind of thing back then but it was about the guy who put an algorithm that screws with the algorithm of the HFT, he was from the UK if I recall and what he did made the people from this HFT firms panicked because they are slowly losing their money, I forgot how the guy did it but the speed at which the stock prices gone down is definitely noticeable, I don't know the exact duration of the attack but it never reached an hour and I think billions of dollars were lost in that span of time.

There aren't that many good source of information for trading for starters so I guess CMC is the most reliable of them all. I don't trade but I get my news at Cointelegraph and Coindesk although just some quick skims through the article and find the most important parts and I am done.

If they are aware, they might have pursued some sort of action against the identity thieves but given how some projects that use their profiles are obscure and not that famous, I can be sure that the people doesn't know about it, its not like every person that got their identity stolen will wade through the vast Internet to check if they had been used.

That is why my friends told me that modern airdrops are a scam, never thought that data mining in this day and age has been this big. This is crazy because they might be the reason for your spams when you are unaware of where you use your emails, the best thing to do is to check your emails vulnerability, there was a site that I used back then but I forgot the name. Another way to combat this is to have a throw away email that you will use for the purpose of this kind of things.

That seems to be a conflict in story. But in the end, hopefully this website gets reported and that hopefully there wasn't really any heavy traffic in the first place because that means that the scammers has stolen quite an amount already. There will be people that are going to believe this kind of scam, the scammers just needs to be convincing and be good with their words.

Forum users won't fall for this but ordinary people are going to fall for it definitely, I am predicting that there will be an increase of new accounts created just to report in this forum that they got scammed and will ask how can they get their money back and then they got scammed by users that tricks them into saying that they can recover the stolen amount and then they will report that they got scammed and the cycle goes on.

That is how some of this schemes are being unfolded, they ran out of clients to put through the scheme and the money starts running dry so they have to do some sort of act to look like everything is under control so people wouldn't notice that they are doing an exit strategy. To everyone who still thinks that this is legitimate, go ahead and try it and see your money go away in a couple of months and live in regret and hindsight.

I think there needs to be some report made against this user or at the least a warning post to help newbies not get scammed because this kind of scam services has been here for a long time and I think that it needs to stop. To all the newbies who are going to read this, recovery services will only work if it is in your computer and you wiped it clean, there is no such thing as recovery of hacked accounts in bitcoin.

Having proofs for a local poster is really difficult as you don't have the necessary correct translation and machine translation misleads readers. I am neutral in this case as I don't know @Ratimov personally and most of the things that I know of him/her is from what I see in the posts that involves him/her. My take on this thing is for the people that accuses @Ratimov of plagiarism to provide proof as @bitmover says but we also need to have an indie translator so that there is no possibility of being bought of or being biased which solves @bitmover's problem about not trusting translations.

You can use them maybe as a token for your bets or plays in the casino like chips in poker, blackjack and coins in slots. No matter how much we think that NFT is not going to bring any change, it will just prove us wrong just like bitcoin prove itself against FUDsters and people who lack the faith to invest in it.

It is their fault too, these big businesses didn't put any money for situations like this, they put it all to expand and pay their investors so in the end their business will die. I think they could've survived the pandemic if they did what the sports league did to continue their matches which is creating a bubble, this could've attracted a lot of big money players because this means that they get to stay at the casino for a long time, or at the least tried to operate online with some of their games. Chinese businessmen are the best businessmen in my opinion.

I want to believe that it will happen the second time because the 52k was broken then that means that we can break another resistance and after that we will speculate what prices the bitcoin will break next, a lot of things can happen in March and the following months so we have to be careful with our every move when it comes to bitcoin market, we might regret it along the way.

That is my first thought too, the only reason for their creation is to distract people and continue patronizing the banks. But if there is no ill intentions behind the creation of CBDCs by these banks, I think that interchangeability with cryptocurrency is a possibility with CBDC since it is in a sense still a fiat.

Most people that discovered bitcoin are not that dirt poor, they have the technology to access bitcoin accessible to them so I think that the divide didn't really narrowed just because of bitcoin because the people that got their hands on bitcoin has the opportunity unlike the real poor that doesn't even have electricity. We can do something about, trying to help other people even with a little money that you can afford is enough if that little amount is put together, we are just afraid that what little money that we have will be gone in our hands.
Success is a matter of perspective, what you said here can be called a success but for some fundamentalist that thinks that bitcoin should be the currency used by the people instead of fiat, I don't think so.
The reason for that divide is because the people let the cunning ones abuse them, if that wasn't the case in the first place, we might be living in a utopia.
