WHY PEOPLE WANT TO SCAM TO HAVE BITCOINS....

Something tells me that recently you lost some coins to hyip ponzi schemes or you lent someone but your coins never returned; am I mistaken?  The word 'why...' is it a philosophical question about the human nature?  I can't find a better answer in your capital wording question. The best I can do if you really want to learn about some bitcoin scams is to mention these good topics in the forum Stay safe, [EDU] How to spot a scammer (Read this before lending your coins!) and List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses.

A big fraction of the people are simply... something I do not know if I'm allow to mention here.
And when it comes to online scams, that number increases.
It's always easier to scam somebody you do not know and do not see, than when you have to do it in person face to face.
That's one reason why bitcoin is so popular amongst scamers.

  It's me!!!

WHY PEOPLE WANT TO SCAM TO HAVE BITCOINS....

Is that your serious question? Have you just been scammed? I think the answer is not very hard to tell but sometime we should look at another way of thinking like, why do they have to scam? I mean, did they are scammed by another person and then they want to scam others to get back what they lost? Secondly, how about they have some problem with their business so maybe they are delay in trading and then you consider that he/she has scammed.
But the most suitable explanation for scammer is that a easiest way to earn money and don't have to trade anything else to other people. Of course, the biggest thing that they have lost was honor.

Because Bitcoin has ability to hide your identity. It is so easy to grab someone's bitcoin and run away. So people find an easy way to collect money, they open HYIP/PONZI with lucrative plans, scam people and run away. Unlike Paypal, you can't open dispute in case of btc!!

Why to people have to post with caps lock on? It's because they don't understand written communication methods.

Why do people have to scam? Beacause they are lazy or incompetent. I feel that if you have to steal or scam, then you are a failure, and even worse, you have admitted to yourself that you are a failure.

Also because that is the only way that they know to earn money, big money. This people are the most pitiful in all kind of people in this world, because they are risking their names, families, dignity, and sometimes even their profession just for these thing. This people are those who wants shortcut to success, even though there is no shortcut to success. This people are those who only wants to do nothing at all, but they are earning bitcoin, and these type of people is the worst.

They could end up in jail if they scammed a big amount of money, or they scammed someone who is popular and have big name in this world, though they are not considering this things because the only thing that is important to them is that, they don't care about anything as long as they are earning money.

I think they are generally scammers with a potential low life trying to scam or steal money to better their life so they don't necessarily scam because of Bitcoin's potential or value but they steal for the same reasons why they'd steal a car, credit card, physical fiat etc on the street.

A very simple reason, because people who try to scam are lazy people who don't want to work hard for their money. They try to skip the hard part of getting rich to short cut their way into it. They want to do what rich people do without the hard work part and because they are stupid and lazy they try to do this.

WHY PEOPLE WANT TO SCAM TO HAVE BITCOINS....

because it becoming harder and harder to make bitcoin now, mining is profitable but you make peanuts in bitcoin, not in fiat though, all the earning in bitcoin are very low, you can risk in trading but i want to stay away from that, still hacking and scamming is not that simple, investors are not stupid like in the past but they still fall for ico

Scammers have existed since we started exchanging products, bitcoin just makes it easier for them since it's almost impossible to trace someone from its bitcoin address.

WHY PEOPLE WANT TO SCAM TO HAVE BITCOINS....

Scamming has always happened with new technology, this does not reflect on the technology but rather the user.


A knife can cut a loaf of bread, or be used to hurt someone. The knife is not the issue here.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the world, and lose his own soul?

Scam is always there even before bitcoin was developed. People are greedy naturally but some try to work hard and earn money while some like to scam people for easy money. Same goes for those people who scam people for bitcoin.

Because it is easier to get bitcoins by scamming newbies :v

Because they want easy coins.. so they fool little greedy fishes to hunt the big fish.


And many who deals with the scammer knows he is actually a scammer but still wanna test his not happenning invest xD \

So Basically the answer is (( Mutual greed for both the scammer and victim ))

and it doesn't have to be bitcoin  every thing that gets popular goes to scam circle, some scammers started to do it with dash lately xD

Yes because that is how the nature of bitcoin is and the very reason why people want an ETF approval to control such volatility from happening day in and day out from one minute to the next just like what is happening now. Lips sealed

Because it is easier to get bitcoins by scamming other people and people also are greedy so they give in to the scammers easily. If everyone is wise enough to avoid being a victim of scam, there will be no scammers.
