What is Scam?
Scam is a dishonest scheme that is carried out by an individual or groups of persons in mode of taking away something that is valuable to others. Those who perform these acts are reffered to as scamers.
How do people get involved, how easily are people scammed and reasons?
Many individuals think of the internet as a get rich quick scheme and once they are exposed to any form of investment promising high ROI, witjout a second taught they jump onto it, you and I as well know how this will end? In a nutshell, GREED is a factor
Secondly the inability to conduct research and make real findings on our own. All this as a result of laziness.
Add yours!!
I entreat all of us to be on the look out for scan projects, make our findings and proof beyound doubts their scam intentions and also avoid been greedy when making an inveatment
Its like buying a new gadget you aren't familiar with and throw away the manual script, newbies don't want to learn, they think internet is for those who wants to make quick money, any scammer can easily trick people this days but since they don't want to learn the easy way they will learn the hardway Not only newbies falls victim of scam, anybody can fall victim of it. You shouldn't just generalize it that way. Once there's greediness in you, there's every tendency you'll fall for scam easily. |

When bitcoin price is down, should be the right time to buy and hodl bitcoin cos the price won't be down forever, it will surely increase back although it may take time.
If you can hodl your bitcoin for long, I don't think you can loose your investment rather you gain

Nothing can't be done to counter scam projects. The best solution is never to invest huge amount of money in any project, no matter how promising the project seems to be. So as when the project didn't meet up with her expectation or end up been a scam project, you won't feel so much hurting about it. It's a terrible feeling to be scammed at the end

We should all be careful when trying to invest in any project. If someone can create token with just $50, that means we ain't safe anymore in crypto. Crypto regulation is all we need now to stop this fraud before it eats so deep into the system and becomes a norm

This is a very disturbing issue facing the cryptosphere ''scam project''. Some project will just create token without any future plan of the coin whereby scamming investors.
I think many projects are losing the main idea why blockchain is created.

Cant remember when last I tried using the twitter audit to check or know my real followers. It's surprising to know that after using the twitter audit on your account, you'll end up having thousands of unreal (bots) followers

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Worthy to invest in Grin
|
on: October 14, 2019, 12:06:34 PM

Grin is a new coin and I have heard a lot about it. Bitcointalk forum admin has started to accept grin as a payment method. Is it worthy to invest in grin now? The current price is $4.50 or something like that. What do you think? Will it increase or decrease more?
It is very difficult to predict whether this coin will be able to increase in the future. And in General, personally I am now very concerned about new projects, unfortunately we do not know what to expect from the already well-known projects, so personally I will refrain from new in this market. You've seen the potential of Grin already and you're having doubts whether it will still moon further due to the present market conditions. Invest now to avoid missing the chance to cos in the near future it will be go beyond your reach. It's more preferable to invest in already trading project than new project |

What marvels me most, is seeing a newbie joining many bounty campaign through facebook and twitter without much knowledge of the project. Bounties for newbies worth nothing at the end because crowd do partake in it.
Do newbie expect much from such campaign? Without been scammed at the end

Asking the manager/project team to pay your money = begging?
I can never agree with this statement. How can it be termed as begging when you ask for something you've worked for. Asking for free money is called begging and people who don't pay money to the ones who worked for their project, they are beggars and cheaters.
Not all bounty campaigns are scam and I recently got paid $800 from a campaign and $100 from the other. It may be considered a small amount but it's definitely worth the trouble. You just need to be sure the manager is not a newbie but a reputed one who cares for the participants and makes sure they get paid.
You earned such amount ($800) because you're higher ranked member (Legendary). Imagine those low ranked members, what will they earn if they partake in the same bounty with you, probably (70-$100). Some money been paid at the end bounty campaign worth nothing |

Will your present username make you not to post a quality post in this forum or will it stop you from achieving your goal. Changing your username or not doesn't matter as far as you're here to contribute meaningfully
