Number one rule is to don't invest in ponzi! The previous comments are correct. Only the ponzi maker/scammer is the only one earning (well some of the first investors). After them, no one else earn or even get their money back. So avoid those. Also avoid those shady looking websites that tries to imitate trading sites.
Sometimes we are curious to follow the ponzi for wanting to profit quickly. Especially if it's been get return of investment, though we knew it was a ponzi scheme, it will add to the deposit. The best way is a lot of praying, never interested in investing in a ponzi and invite other people to not follow a ponzi.

I don't agree in the number 1 of the OP's first post. Because not all new company can pay you, I have encountered once, after one day of existence they are not paying anymore. The strategy should be like this, if you have already made a deposit and get the profit don't make a second deposit anymore.

Do not need to pay directly to the customer or inbetween businesses. You could try with escrow services, with the escrow transaction your found will be hundered percent safe. Else you have go ahead with the bond and banking transaction only.

That's right. and even if you do deposit once and after get profit you don't deposit again you still have the chance to be scammed on the first time. HYIP aren't going to pay a big investment because they will only pay a little investment to get more profit from it. so actually depositing even in the first time won't really work.just get away from this my advice

It seems the opener invested his money in hyip instead of real business, the step number 3 should be step number 1 before any investment is made at all in any website or coin.

There is no meaning left if someone has already invested in Hyip's. They will get scammed one or the other day if they don't take out the investment before the site goes down. A research survey says that more than 90% of the Hyip are created because the owner want to scam people. So you have to be very thoughtful before investing in Hyip rather than afterwards.

yes its a good advice and we should know about this. because if for first time we make wrong investment, then we can loss all of our money so be careful before make an investment. the right way to prevent getting scammed is read many information about the site including about the review of the site. don't trust all the info if you are not sure about that site, if somehow you make investment and you are curious about the site, i think you don't have to use all of your money and only use small money to test it.

There is no meaning left if someone has already invested in Hyip's.

The least he can do is to refer as many people as he can so he can get affiliate rewards. I think it's 10-15%. It would give him more profit and shorten the time needed for him to ROI. Although it would be really hard to do so because everyone knows that HYIP sites are nothing but ponzi scams.

They will get scammed one or the other day if they don't take out the investment before the site goes down.

AFAIK there's no other way but to hope that the site doesn't run away before he gets ROI. You can't withdraw it when you've already invested it and you can't reverse the payment as well since it's paid in bitcoins.

A research survey says that more than 90% of the Hyip are created because the owner want to scam people.

More like 100%. Roll Eyes

To be a good bitcoin investor. You must be wise on transactions that you made or to your customers. If your customer is wise, be wiser than him. Always have an escrow for big transactions. Even if you have some previous transaction to that customer to make sure it will go well. No one can say what is the motive of your customer.

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.

thanks for your tips, i will use them in future

Investment in bitcoin mean many thing to different people. Some people invest in coin mining other invest in arbitrary trading, margin or spot trading and bitting. But based on your own understanding of investment thank for the info. As I have thought before most of hyip don't last more than one month as such one need to invest in it early before the scammer bring it down.

Each and every question is important that you mentioned but when coming to picture most people are concentrating only on withdrawal and the sponsor. They are not even thinking about the company and how much % is going to pay whether it is possible to pay or not. Find you self each and every company owners will not pay % from their pockets. Today in online each and every business is completely rotating business only. Before investing think wisely.

You are discussing about a ponzi sites,I don't recommend that to anyone,it's always been an early bird scenario,they pay you if you have a lot of referrals and money still keeps coming in,but once no money are  coming  in they will stop payment until no one gets paid,the site could close in 5 days or a week but it will not stay for months .

I agree...but most of people here do even not know what a ponzi is...I know at least 16 ones who do absolutly not know about and believe me they are repectable people here...but one can be respectable and not know about ponzi sites.
best you do like the respectable people...you see everywhere ponzi and you will never be scammed.

There are some that even stay running for months because people are still investing in it. How long an investment site is running is one of the advertisements that people put when their promote their referral code. They say that it has been running for months now and so it's trusted. Some investment sites even fake their stats and say that they have been running for a year or two already to make their site look more legit. Nevertheless, any investment site can run away whenever they choose to.

All HYIP businesses are scams they only pay you once or maybe they run after you invest so don't ever try to invest in HYIP the only thing to do is to buy miner or do trading is the safest way to earn bitcoins.

If you want to be a good investor then you should be smart in choosing investments. You should do research first before taking the risk. Get background infos about the owner or about the site or company that you are investing in. Then try to gather information or analysis from other investors that are also interested. Do brain storming from other investor so you can get ideas or conclusion if you will pursue investing on that site or not.

To be a good bitcoin investor and prevent from being scammed,
always use midman or escrow on every peer-to-peer transactions that you make.
If your client or customer don't agree for an escrow he is probably a scammer.
Even if he says he can be trusted and don't need an escrow don'f go for it. If he can be trusted
he will agree with an escrow without complaining.

Using escrow is not a big deal with the good investor since
they just both want clear transaction and in good hands.

I am fully Satisfied with your lines , But what will you say
about the hashocean .
Hashocean was fully verified and was with clear
background .
Every payment of Bitcoin was like a clear crystal system .
No made any idea that there can be made some scam.
But the site finally scammer us .

You can't make sure that hashocean was fully verified and with it has clear backgrounds since they didn't show their company or the mining rigs that they have they just made a promotional video that shows their service and offer their cloud mining site. They turn to scam because of the fear of bitcoin halving and they also know that the price of bitcoin will spike up so they try to run as soon as possible so after halving they will just hold the coins that they stole from investors. I'm also a victim of hashocean but i didn't blame them because it also my fault on trusting that site and investing a lot of money and ending up getting a loss. But that will serve as a lesson for me and i will always remember that investments are always partnered with risk and with need to invest what we can really afford to lose

yes that is a good idea investing in ponzi scheme can give a big lost, you should always try  to invest you money in most trusted and reliable site which you consider as safe for investment. if you are investing your money in alt coin then you must select a trusted coin.
