I think traders are broke. This can be a lesson to people to avoid trading?

I think the people know the person from Tiktok, that he is a trader and he should have money. Privacy is important if you are dealing with crypto. We have seen a YouTuber lady attacked and many other people who are publicly known.

Of course these social medial traders are broke. If they could make all that money tradin, which they btw promote, why would they waste time on social media? They would just scale out their "perfect trading method" and make millions. So yeah, just goes to show you, paying these fake douches on SM platforms is a scam and a waste of time

This truly conpromises that trader safety at first I don't think it a good ideal for a trader or investor to post random and insignificant things that relate to cryptocurrency about them self,it is definitely not a good ideal to create content about of you trading .
 
 is not fully certain that all traders are broke am sure it's because of their losses while trading ,maybe it because most of them do not actually have a steady funds. but why weast a lot of money on trade when you can easily investor it that is a question for trader's To answer them self.

I think traders are broke.

Many of them are broke and the very few are really good traders. Social media is their kingdom and they brag to the people and followers their wins wherein reality, it's just a show.

It's okay to try trading as long as they know the limitations of it. It's better to be a holder while doing these things and tests because you have a guaranteed backup of what you do.

That's what happens when you mostly show everything in social media. Not just the trades, the kind of life, the lifestyle and anything about bragging, it doesn't really help at all but puts the life of the person that does it in danger.

Thanks _act_ for bringing updates on these regards as to open peoples eye to what is at stake in what they are doing, here are the lessons ive learnt from this whole drama.

1. Don't choose to believe everything you see online on the social media about crypto, the guy must have been flaunting his account showing the public on how he has been making profits trading and still shows then the evidence form his device, that he is into money now, without us knowing that everything is fake just to impress their followers and get more traffic to their contents and page.

2. Some are there tracking them without knowing, they thought he is actually into fame and knows much about crypto trades, whereas in real life things were directly opposite, what a shame, that it will be so disappointing when we discover that some of the so called influencers we follow on social media were leaving a fake life.

Anyone promoting their trades on social media are usually trying to pump their bags or sell some sort of a product. Someone who actually has wealth shouldn't be posting on social media and if so, are posing a risk to their safety. I would hope that after all of the kidnapping and incidents stemming from publicizing wealth, that people with bitcoin/crypto wealth aren't doing that.

I'm not even sure how to react to this, because it sounds funny even though it is a serious situation, since the crypto community is currently facing the issue of kidnapping and abduction across different regions in the world. I think the users above has said everything that needs to be said as far as this thread is concerned, but I can't imagine the level of disappointment that would come to them the moment they realize that their target wasn't as rich as he looked.

How do people even get comfortable with living a fake life when they clearly can't afford that kind of lifestyle for themselves?. I wonder how many people (from the 8 billion in the world), are doing something similar. Well, I'm happy that he's freed, and has learnt about privacy, even though it had to be the hard way.

Traders are fucking broke ass and they come to social media to show off fake wealth claiming to have made it through trading. I am happy that you came up with this thread so that it will be an eye opener to people that traders are always losers in the long run.

I know that this guy that was kidnapped must have displayed some flamboyant lifestyle on social media as a trader which made him a target. Unknown to the kidnappers that he has nothing. I believe that kidnappers in France wouldn't go for traders anymore.

France is turning to something else. The country is becoming unsafe for crypto users because there has been an increase in kidnapping cases. If the government doesn't take drastic actions many crypto businesses might consider leaving the country.

These kidnappers thought that since the crypto influencer has about 40,000 followers on TikTok, he was rich. It is also possible that this crypto tiktoker might be showcasing wealth on social media just to gain more followers. He should be thankful that he was released, he would have been greatly harmed or even killed

This is the world we live in today. Influencers today mostly start with nothing but making out as if they have something. It's sad, we can thank social media for it.

I hope so too.

It's only being highlighted because it relates to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. If every case of kidnapping for other purposes was reported on, the world would be in a permanent state of fear and shock. No one would leave their homes.

I think the users above has said everything that needs to be said as far as this thread is concerned, but I can't imagine the level of disappointment that would come to them the moment they realize that their target wasn't as rich as he looked.

I hope that it leads them to getting caught, or at the very least reconsidering what they are doing. Kidnapping people for money must be a desperate act, for them to now know that sometimes it might be all for nothing, might get them to reconsider. I doubt it, though hopefully.
