This is little update I have, don't wait till it happens to you always avoid it before it happens to you.
Everything you said are basic information that any body picking interest in the industry should have but nice effort though. The information has also been repeated on the forum and the local board numerous times but it's good you're bringing it up again so we can be informed/reminder of how easy it is to lose everything but to avoid alot of this wahala, differentiate your device that your wallets is located in from your everyday device and you go avoid 90% of this wahala. Also you wey know say your wallet dey your phone, no dey downloaded anyhow apps or all this careless trending apps dem (e.g secret message apps) because na there scammers dey chop from when you go downloading clones wey dem dun infect already to steal your sensitive information.
Post like this are worth giving merits and I wish our senior colleagues can at some point try to support users like this.
Not every posts that has to do with wallet deserve to be merited, if you read above you go see plenty corrections has been given and the publicizing of trustwallet isn't something that should be welcomed on the local board because it isn't among the best wallets to be used. The fact say they can be easily exploited should be a warning that they shouldn't be trusted as where we store our coins. If you dey participate for airdrop or doing other minor online giveaways then you fit dey use am but anything major investment, find a more appropriate wallet to use. Just because sometimes is popular doesn't make it the best.
That is the best to do because when a user do have multiple devices or even using his system for some of cryptocurrency storage of assets it could be very hard alterations but when they are using all devices for browsing and storing their assets it makes very vulnerable for alterations. Like you said lot of these information has been shared so op should use some search option for most of the post to avoid repeating post that has been shared already.
Una do well boss
But frankly we’re seeing this things from a standpoint of someone who already knows what to do and not the other way round.
bitcoin and its entire process from buying to selling is a complicated one even for an average learner not to even mention a total newbie.
This is Nigeria and you’ll agree with me that, our brains and mindsets are wired differently and most times people just jump on things without a proper research.
And that is why we don’t have to totally blame people when they make mistakes that’s why it’s called mistake because no one would want to intentionally give out their hard earned money to scammers only to end being hurt.
The idea of using a separate device or phone are for those who can afford it not someone trying to patch up life and trying to pick a path in the crypto space.
Some people also fall victims of these things in process of trying to seek other streams of income online and end up falling victims of circumstances so we can’t end up blaming them.
The issue of thread repeats took even on the main boards are totally unavoidable and that’s not because people are doing it intentionally but you’ll agree with me that, there is always an excitement after one finally puts together a topic and a lot of users make threads out of excitement believing they might be the original author.
There are also topics that can’t be overemphasized on like topics such as:.
~Addiction
~wallet safety
~ scams
And the rest of them because these are major occurrences in the space and people need to be reminded regularly so that can always stay conscious and in some case these topics aren’t talked on in weeks and maybe month(s) and remember that out of sight is out of mind and people forget the important things and as such, I don’t think it’s bad starting a new thread on a similar matter as even the forum also suggests creating a new thread when threads and topics have stayed so long without comments
Just my opinion and thoughts
