[dzkazmi]

Seems you were played in a wrong hands, consider it a great lesson for you and move on.

[ommochain]

a good life story, and can teach us a lesson.
it seems like such people will be much more in 2018. so I think we should know more about BTC. if you want to invest we should trust people who have been successful in bitcoin and that we know.
bitcoin is real, not scam.

I support your point of view, but I think I can explain in more detail why bitcoin is real. First, bitcoin is independent and decentralized, and no one can control it. Second, Bitcoin is an objective reality. He has a large user base. It is valuable. It is a tool that can play a role of payment and can be exploited by others, but he is not a Ponzi scheme because it exists Has value, and you can always choose to support it or oppose it, and no one will force you, you are said to be cheated personal reasons, one is a liar intentionally, one is your ignorance, so well-developed network resources Society you would not go to inquire and understand bitcoin, so bitcoin is real, but some people are lazy.

Something does not seem to happen. And if it is known as a huge robbery. Bitcoin is actually no owner. P2P transactions are all transactions of Bitcoin. Therefore, Bitcoin Risks and Less.

I've also heard stories about scam using the name of bitcoin. It's sad that because of these scams, some people will hear about bitcoin about as a negative thing.  That's is why it's always important that you do some research first before investing on anything. By learning what bitcoin really is, you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim of these scams and you can also advise other people you know might be victimized by these scams.

Unfortunately where people see a way to get rich there will be people preying in the shadows to scam people. If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Take the ever increasing amount of icos some probably have good potential others are just good for making devs rich. If you research you should be able to weed out one's that are best avoided.

I was invited by a friend of a friend to invest in Bitcoin last year. He told me that if I invest 5000 in our currency it will be doubled in a month's time. He also promised me that I will get referral fees and override from every person I introduced to Bitcoin and that prices of Bitcoin are expected to increase. To make the story short I did not join because I believe its a pyramiding scam. Truth to be told I did my research on Bitcoin after that and it turn's out that Bitcoin's price was really on rise unfortunately I did not invest at that time. Currently I'm learning more thru this forum and I thank my friend for inviting me here. Just last December I heard from one of my friends that the company they joined was in fact a pyramiding scam and the money they invested in just vanished out of thin air together with the people who invited them. We should be wary of people offering investments and opportunities to us. Do your research. Opportunity comes with risks as well as the rewards. If its too good to be true, it might be a scam. Bitcoin is not a SCAM but there are people who uses Bitcoin to SCAM other people. Good luck to us and more power to Bitcoin!

Thank you for sharing with us.It is too hot issue now about scammers that's why this is the reason people are started to get worried.But there's should be a solution for this kind of problem and we should be alert and be guided always for every step we make.This is the lesson for us and thank you for sharing your thought.

Unfortunately many scammers create Bitcoin investment Ponzi schemes and they sell it as Bitcoin. These schemes offer daily interest and referral bonuses and Ponzi type networks. People should note that Bitcoin come with no guarantees of specific interest and referral bonuses, because you trade in a currency/commodity.

Stay away from these investment sites, where you <invest> in Bitcoin, but you never own these bitcoins. ^grrrrrr^

Yeah looks to me OP either invested in BCC like others are pointing out or bought BITCOIN correctly but then invested into some Cryptocurrency HYIP

Yes, Bitcoin being popular in the wholeworld because of a great value that sadden double your investment or else can earn by promoting through signature campaign. It was taking advantage by scammers to make scam to earned like phishing, pyramiding scam and by sending fake links with a directly exclusive offer that the people believe in offering a big exchange value showing them that they are reputable exchange site. So be aware of this kind of strategy because that is scam.

Bitcoin is NOT SCAM. There are only greedy people uses bitcoin to scam others to earn bitcoin in an instant. Thats a good lesson you learn, never trust anyone. Make a research before you start investing, do not invest in people. And theres a lot of way to earn bitcoin not only in investing. Earning your own bitcoin in working hard feel likes blessed.

[SUDARMONO]

it's true that a lot of pyramid sites or fraudulent sites use bitcoin and we have to be really smart choosing an investment, but I think we'd better use bitcoin for trading or buy bitcoin to continue in the long run.

[gambitcoin53]

That is a clear pyramiding scam, just one of the contributors of the negative news that brought negative news about what bitcoin really is. Your story really helps those newbies in trading and investing in bitcoin, just do not go to third parties that promised a to good to  be true to earn bitcoin the fast way, the essence of bitcoin is not thru pyramiding, there is no such thing as big return of investment in a little time, in bitcoin, you must earn it the hardway, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, depending on the volatility of bitcoin price, it takes a lot of patience and hardwork to earn, never trust no one, just trust you own decision and always be aware of bitcoin trends.

      well you could have at least tried to think of a better tittle to put in to your thread. lol. but i get your point man. truly, proper research about things before you invest really pays off. specially on the ones that truly just seems too good to be true. but to be honest, i really cannot believe that your friend still got scammed by a pyramiding scheme at this point in time? man, i think that person who scammed your friend really had great skills or a special talent in fooling people. because by now, people should be smart enough to avoid pyramiding scams like what you have just said(that is if that pyramiding scam just happened recently though).

He told me that if I invest 5000 in our currency it will be doubled in a month's time.

It will be doubled and also tripled eventually. Just not in a month's time.

The first rule in crypto, never trust anyone. The second rule in crypto, never forget the first rule. If you are investing a single dollar then even in that case it is always recommended to invest your time worth $10 before making the investment of that single dollar. Bitcoin is not a scam but since we are still in the development for phase, there is lack of awareness in the general public thus scammers target those people who are willing to invest in Bitcoin or who are willing to get some benefit out of it.

* Over $500 million in cryptocurrency stolen.

[SiDtHeBeSt]

Yeah, bitcoin isn't scam but there are alot of people who are misusing bitcoins as a way to scam people. And because of such people, bitcoin's reputation is going down. Also, I've heard bitcoin was being used for crimes, which  drops it's rep down even further.
I think if such things stop, bitcoins/other cryptos will definitely get more power.

The people who think that bitcoin a scam they probably have no idea or a limited information about it, these days people only join bitcoin just because they think it is a very easy and fast way to make a lot of moeny, and they don't even bother knowing what it is really about, and they go on investing hundred of dollars until at some point they lose their moeny because they don't know the risks, so they quit and camplain about how bitcoin is a total scam.

Good to hear that there are still people who, despite of their lack of knowledge, didn't fall in false promises of someone who uses btc as a frontbin their scams. I'm glad that you weren't blinded by the too good to be true promises of these people. However, it is true that many people who are still doubting BTC and think that it is a scam due to those scammers who leveled up and used it to scam others. Some of my closest friends think so that's why I never bothered encouraging them into crypto investments. But sometimes I still keep on wondering why they would close their minds about it. To think that they should be more aware of it since we all have degrees in IT. Anyhow, let's just go on and focus with our investments and enjoy this great opportunity.
