Since i'm new in cryptocurrency. I got scammed 2 times . The investment sites scammed me Btc and Eth. I fall into investing to them because of their promise 100 percent return of investment. then after that happened. I learned my self to study first and to invest to a right place. And i don't let this will happen again.

That such a sucks article, even the website is not secure, be careful with reading articles in random websites, sometimes they inject a virus for detecting your private key or making you copy their address to make you lost your money

What majorly lead people to getting scammed is greed. One will see a sure consistence way of making more bitcoin, but because it's rather very slow and requires handwork and some know how, they would rout for the easy way out, boom there comes the trap. Scammers are just rampantly looking for easy prey and they will always find since humans don't learn from experience.

I don't care about the assumption that people say bitcoin is a scam because prices suddenly drop dramatically and don't make sense. but when the value is back at the pump, they can only be jealous of the assets we have. so, stick with this situation.

It's a very old scam and not so new for people involved in cryptocurrency. The sad part is people who fail in the trap, not sure who is to blame here, the scammer or the people scammed. There is an interview online about this scammer, he claimed to make $50,000 daily and hired a dozen of guys to work for him

if you take a closer look at this issue of sca, apart from the fact that the scammer presents his or her case so coordinated and in a way that is confident enough to have convinced his/her victim, the victims most times have some element of greed in them too. remember that it was not hacking but scamming. so, a little of greed in the victim has made the victim to get scammed

It (obviously) depends on the cryptocurrency in question. If you are convinced that a coin will appreciate in value over time, why would you risk day trading it?  If you day trade, the short term fluctuations could ruin your profit if you don't know what you are doing. Even the most experienced traders suffer loses from time to time. Day trading is very close to gambling, especially if you don't know how to manage risks.

It is even more true if we are talking about the current market situation. Bitcoin has lost some value compared to the beginning of this year, but still IMO it's the perfect cryptocurrency to hold long time.

I have never been scamed but I know that people are very naive and they will beleive everything you tell them or show them, especialy if they think they might get or earn something in a easy way.
Despite so huge number of scams they still are not cautios and suspicious enough. We need more awareness and education campaigns, ignorance is exactly something that scamers are counting on.
Don't ever forget, if something is too good to be true, it isn't!

Scammers are in any field. So everything in this world is a scam? A fork (for eating ) can be killed. Forbidding forks? Fraud is committed to people, not bitcoin.

I mean it would be a nice idea to boost some trust with real assets backing crypto, but USD isn't backed with anything and it still is used and trusted. The trust will come with time and when more and more people and companies accept it as a method of changing value, then the trust comes naturally.
I don't think we should be looking to start backing every crypto with something. I have faith in crypto and I don't think it needs to be backed to be powerful!
