If it's too good to be true then it's definitely a scam. If you doubt investing to it, just invest a very small amount from your portfolio like only 5%.  Don't let your emotions get over with you. Just set a maximum percent from your portfolio to invest so either scam or not, you won't lose all your bitcoin easily.

You are right that testing a service before going in with all is obviously a better idea because in this way you will also come to know if the site is a scam or not and if it is not a scam you will get your profit from what you have invested, because sometimes even the most trusted sites of the community turn scam which can hurt you badly.

For me, to be a good bitcoin investor we need to be a wise person. I had tried some invesment company, they paying or legitimate but in few or short days,weeks or months they will run away; they will not paying anymore.

Tried and tested tips:

1. Invest bitcoin if the company is 0-10 running days.

2. Make sure that the deposits, withdraws and member is increasing.

3. Search for more information about that company.
in my opinion if we want make momey then wr need to take risk . since tge three waye you said in this topic are right but we need to take care about the investor of  which types are in the site as an investor like a user if the user going join daily speedly speedly then we should deposit some btc to get profit otherwise we should remain away from such types of things .

The best way to be a good investor is to use your brain.
Don't believe everything you hear or read.
If you hear a rumor, check the source you got it from.
Learn from your failures.
And don't jump on every horse that comes by. Have a clear strategy and keep on following it, unless it turns out to be useless.

  It's me!!!

Yeah not only brain is you need. and i think getting research is the best and learn new things that can help you to get ideas and get new skills that you can offer or use to earn.
But according to the title if you want to become bitcoin investor without scammed i think it is the best to investmoney in bitcoin and hold it in your local wallet so that you are far in scam.. dont trust any online everything in online can be scam.. even reputed members here..

I try never to invest in hyips and always look for sites where the Admin shows his face, whether he has a genuine and active facebook, linkedin, twitter account and also if the company is solid numbers wise and has a lot of support.

That is also a good suggestion. I remember also that after visiting the site before, I never came back at mark it a scam. Upon visiting, the site has no proper graphics,pictures are not polish that it looks like the owner can't hire a professional designer. Also there ae also an honest owner but I prefer a professional looking one.

Also,there are beautiful website but it turns out as scam also. They look beautiful to attract clients but after you invest and on during withdrawal, it says insufficient funds. Just be very vigilant always.

To be a good bitcoin investor you'd need to rely on that one risk taker who actually invests first and leaves a review of how the returns are. So we need to ensure that we know the reviews on the invested product or service is legit and that we take some part of the risk ourselves cause without risk there's no gain in investment. Another thing is not to get involved in Bitcoin based ponzi schemes like bitcoin doubling or gambling even though they present it to you as being fair. It's always better to trade in Bitcoins and make sure to only trade what you can afford to lose. Also it's better to read the privacy policies of investment sites and terms of service, talk to the support if you have any questions before signing up. Make sure that if you'd want to be able to withdraw your Bitcoins there's some form of escrow service that ensure that this happens without you being scammed.

Yes i agree with you, usually people who got scam making investment into HYIP's website and the best way for not get scam is never making investment on there, because all of HYIP's website fast or slow they always becomes scammers in the ending and never be survive for long time.

SO invest my Bitcoin if the company is less than 10 days old?  make sure everything is increasing and search for info on the company. !!!!

are you for serious, or is it just that your english is bad ?  No harm but that is really crappy advise  Roll Eyes

This is so true when investing in a company just try to check first
if the company is new and running 0-10days. Because mostly as I
observed some hyip are running just to scam only. After weeks it
turns out to scam investors. That's why after I learned trading I never
get to joined hyip.

On number 1 I don't think so,hyip's are always early bird scenarios,the earlier you get in the better,once no money is coming in on these investment program,they will stop paying people .

On number two I don't think so too,deposits and withdraws just like ICO can be manipulated..

On number three,they can provide bogus addresses and contact information..

So avoid these hyip and programs that promise 2 to 5% returns daily.

Yeah better to avoid those hyip they are just good in the first and soemtimes not .. and they are always repeating this method just to collect bitcoin and run.. better to find a good altcoins to hold and get profit for every time the price is increase.

1. Not recommended, even the more established investment site turns into a scam how much more to a new one. You invest without making sure that you can get it back

2. Deposits and withdrawals you've seen in their stats may not be credible.

3. Indeed.

I go with the idea of taking risk in investing because "a real businessman takes risks". You're so true that there would be no gain in investment if we are doubtful in taking risk. But to be a good investor in bitcoin, we need to be keen and tough in choosing the right and legitimate companies and sites wherein we invest our money. We could read some reviews of some old investors in certain companies and sites. By this, we can have the idea on where to invest and how much percent we would invest according to the trust rate of that certain company.

yes that is right to use a small amount but i think it is not still a god idea, because there are so many people who always like to invest a good amount of bitcoin therefore to me always try to use a trusted exchange whiled exchanging bitcoin.

well that's indeed a problem and HYIPs are bad,by stopping to invest into these kind of sites will stop them to get scammed but the problem is how to figure out whether the website is HYIP or not because some websites even stated that they're not a HYIP site but actually running HYIP system which is definitely tricking some investors and the result they catch those investors and stole the funds,for example,a cloud mining that's now are popular and most of them are actually running with Ponzi/HYIP system

A wise investor means he/she knows what site is he/she is going to enter. Making some good research before deciding to enter the site. Avoiding any hyip sites which are full of bullshits.
You need to do this in able to be a good investor. Investing in a site does not mean you're gonna earn some good profit. Sometimes you will lose all of it. Thats the life of an investor.

How to be a great Bitcoin investors without getting scammed? It's very simple.

# Buy Bitcoin.
# Hold it.
# Don't invest it.

Seriously, there is no better option than that. If you are looking to invest your coins into a site or service, or start-up company, then that's the exact moment where you go wrong. The urge of investing your coins in order to generate profit is very dangerous. Don't risk your coins because your greed tells you to do so. Be strong and say NO!
