People deserve to lose their Bitcoins ?

[angaper]

This is an interesting point. And I have to admit that I am also incurring in this excessive overconfidence. But actually at this point I don't know what to believe, because in this virtual economy everything is possible and in the long run I am convinced that 90% of current bitcoin-based websites will become scam.

I only feel sorry for newbies who are not aware that the sites  they invest their bitcoins are typical ponzis and not some kind of serious investment like they try to convice us.As for the people who have been warned that they participate in a scam and are looking to make profit by stealing the money of newer members no i don't care for their losses and i agree that they deserve to lose their money.

The possibility could have happened, because the world is growing all of the technology very well. So the bitcoin also has the same potential (scam), whether it's from the original owner of the bitcoin suddenly came and did a fairly strict regulation or other things.

of course scams happens with all the money in my opinion and you cannot avoid it usually if it is perfectly set in my opinion, i think people should avoid such stuff that looks scammy

in my opinion people usually do not deserve to lose their money because people usually earn money with a lot of efforts and some scammers just come and take it from the people

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Bitcoin attracts a lot of greedy, ignorant morons and yes they probably should have their wealth transferred to others who can do better with it.  Tuition is expensive sometimes.   As much as I hate blaming the victim, if you're a hot chick walking around Target in just a bra, don't be offended if the guys are ogling you or worse.

People don't deserve to lose their bitcoins. The exchanges are to ones that steal the money. The victim should not be blamed. Plus even if you keep you coins on an exchange short term, the money can still be stolen.

I think really what is being said by him bitcoin has the potential to be a scam. It happened because the users themselves? bitcoin's life depends on its users. if all users sell their bitcoin (only example), the bitcoin prices will gradually fall and become scam $0

I honestly don't mean to be rude or anything but seriously ?

A lot of services scammed or really got hacked (Mt gox , Bitfinex , Poloniex , Bter , Purse.io , Coinapult , BitStamp , Scrypt.CC , Bitcoinica , Bitcurex and much much more)


Till now and after getting people losing thousands/millions of dollars , people still don't understand that they shouldn't keep their coins in Exchange for long term.



If we speak about Cloud mining companies , I think we are giving shitload of warnings when someone ask about cloud mining ... Still , people keep investing there and then cry when the service "claim" that they got hacked and never comeback.

Example :   HashOcean (lately) , Cloudminr , Cloudmining.website and a lot more !


So I really want to hear your opinions on this one guys.

PS : Halving is coming , you may want to start withdrawing your coins .. just in case ? 

Normally,no one wants to lose their bitcoins,include me,but i also think that people who invest on cloud mining that have potentially scam,they deserve to lost their bitcoins.

I never keep my coins on any exchanges for a minute longer then they need to be there.

Those who really deserve to lose what they have are the ones who are scamming others. The victims are those who believe they can get quick profits, probably due to greed and sometimes lack of knowledge about these scams. If people get victimized by these scams for the second time, then, they deserve to lose their money since they should have learned the first time they got duped. Once is enough, twice is too much.

I would like to Hold my Bitcoins For a price Increase and I Don't want to Invest Bitcoins in a shit investment plans like mining, doubler sites.... They are scamming people....

[mishra1994u]

Yes right with halving coming and so many warnings and talks about it since months...every body should have withdrawn their coins much before to their secure wallets...mostly people learn after loosing their coins

[moosemoose]

if they scammed it then why not but if they work hard to earn it definitely not

[MingLee]

I personally think that people who get scammed aren't always at fault and they deserve it, if it is something like a ponzi scheme and they lose their money then I feel next to no empathy for them, or any sort of get-rich scheme for that matter.

If the person got scammed by what seemed to be a legitimate business venture, then I feel a bit more empathy for them, as they got legitimately scammed out of whatever they had.

[daringdiscovered]

People who ignore our warnings when we say that a certain site is going to scam, they don't necessarily 'deserve' to lose their coins but it's the consequence they receive for ignoring warnings.

I am still surprised how many people are still investing in various cloud mining sites when even the longest-running one just turned into scam.

I agree, not just cloud-mining sites but also in hyips or doublers which are really scam. People still risk their money even if they lose it for how many times. Even if they already know the risks investing there, they are still joining that scam sites. They don't want to explote the other ways to earn like trading which has a less risk if you know how to do it.

The only people who deserves to lose their coins are those who are really greedy and those who are always spreading and promoting their referral links and fooling some new users of bitcoin to join those cloud mining and hyips not all people deserves to lose their coins but most of them even they already know that they would get scammed they are still investing their bitcoins .

It is Greed attitude that makes them deaf, they are blinded by those promising ads with High paying return schemes within a short period of time, that's what also scammers are always feeding up as they know for sure there are people that will always look for an easy rich type of investments.

I only feel sorry for newbies who are not aware that the sites  they invest their bitcoins are typical ponzis and not some kind of serious investment like they try to convice us.As for the people who have been warned that they participate in a scam and are looking to make profit by stealing the money of newer members no i don't care for their losses and i agree that they deserve to lose their money.

i never heard any Newbie lost in bitcoin ponzi sites. for the experience the most experienced bitcoin users fall for these ponzi scam sites and then regret later. It has nothing to do with ignorance, it has to do with greediness nature of humans.

I had invested into hyip and doubler of bitcoin, but when i made that i hadnt any recent information from no one present at those website, soo i took the risk the result were the same no payment from the doubler and just 4 payments from the hyip from 25 payments. We loose money sometimes because we wanna believe that we will be able to make something as some are doing.
