It's pretty obvious, we have scammers everywhere including the other ponzy schemes people have invested in and has being scammed. It's ok for people to be scared and sceptical about all these internet business. Bitcoin is only legit when you work for it and invest wisely. And it's volatility makes it legible.
Yes, and we can't blame those people who desn't believe on bitcoin.To the point they think it was a scam.As social media nowadays many fake news are spread. People who have no idea at all will surely believe what they've heard.

It seems as though there is a predominant attitude about people trying to do business that most people are scammers. We have run into this time and time again, accusing us of running "dirty" money or stolen goods. We put ads or offers in various places saying "vetted buyer" and "respected escrow" and still get negative comments from people that don't even want to do business. They would just rather demean and abase and not add any positive thoughts. I will say that we have had pretty good success in spite of the naysayers. Doing business in this way is new to most people and seems foreign. But we have plodded through and have achieved a success that has proved that not all are wrong.
There are people all over that are looking for honest services, and we have carved a niche for that entity. We know that there are scammers out there, but we are working to elevate us to a position of reknown. Not all offers are scams!

Not all offers are scams, of course but the problem is that many are and since we are dealing here with eCommerce or the digital world there is a need for an entity to first established a good track record or a trusted brand before many will trust doing business with you. And with all the scams around this is just a natural and expected reaction from many people who have been victimized by scammers online and even offline. We are living in a trust-less world and this is partly one reason why Satoshi Nakamoto invented the blockchain technology. Good thing that despite all the odds the business you are talking about still managed to make it through...and now you are all ready to take advantage of the goodwill the business was able to established so far. Congrats.

Everyone of us not sure what is the result of this kind of business because it is online and it is a chance for the scammers and hackers to manipulate your account. That's why some of us not believing in this kind of business.

We can not blame anyone to think that everyone are scam some people are so greedy they want to scam to get an easy money. But people are take the risk they are still joining even they are know that are risky.

Yes, it can't be helped especially if we get trauma from being scammed so many times already or having trust issues. The only way to persuade this people that not all of the people who are going to make transaction with them is not a scam is by providing all the proof that he is legit, that way, the people who have trust issue will easily trust him.

This is natural for people to belief everyone is a scam this is because there are lots of media who are giving fake news to everyone via television, radio and social media that states bitcoin is a scam. Bitcoin actually is not a scam but it became because it was being used by scammer to scam people to invest big amount of money due to the huge profit offered.
People comes with different mindsets and thus their output for bitcoins are different. Like you have said, yes when someone lost from bitcoins and he has got an empty pocket just because of bitcoins, he starts talking bad about them openly. He starts yelling out his bad experience but to unknown it becomes like a bad picture is being built for bitcoins. And ultimately they become haters.

Besides not believing most of them are also impatient with the process, they want instant results and by being a scammer then they feel getting everything easily and quickly.

As a matter of fact thinking about the person as scammers is normal specially here in crypto. We don't know each other in person. So much higher chance to think I will not trust this one. That's what the first idea in our mind. Some think about the person scammers because he or she experienced to be scammed. There are more reasons why we think like that but the reality not all people are scammers. We just want to secure that we would not got scam at the end that's why we think like that.

Some people think everything is a scam because perhaps they've been scammed. Or they're afraid to be scammed. It's just you need to identify what is scam and how to avoid scam.
If someone asked you wallet address and asks for the private key, or if someone asked you to join a certain website and looks like suspicious, don't go or don't fill up any information of you. Report that person to moderator or authority.

all offers are not all scamers, maybe you have done the right thing. but people who have experienced and experienced the scam, are still afraid of it.

Maybe they are thinking that all of those people who's give them offers about earnings in cryptos are scammer because I think all of them are getting victims of this event so that they do not trust easily for those who think unknown persons. We can't blame people for this kind of event but us a person we need to be wise amd at the same time we need to be more knowledgeable when it comes in scammers.

We can't force all people to believe in anything we say about bitcoin. Because its never been a secret about rampant increasing of scammers online and even in real world. Scammers are all around us. Waiting for prospects victims. That's why if you will introduce bitcoin to some2never promise anything and let them study and research bitcoin. Because we cannot pleased everybody specialy if it includes money.

Because it seems to be like that recent days, there are so many scam projects, scam ICOs, scam Airdrops, scam tokens and etc. so we begin to believe in that everything is scam right now.

When someone is hit by a scam once then it will they remember so that when there is a similar offer then he will think is a scam, of course as investors we must be careful but do not ever think that everyone is a scammer.

Many scamers anywhere in the world. But the crypto currency no. The person selfish wealth so many want to scam. People just making sure that they do not perish in the scam. Some people just clumsy tells crypto so they fear that investing. Therefore all people do not believe co'z other say's that crypto is scam. Do not be afraid of scams because anywhere there are many scam. Better to do is just takecare on your decisions for our safety.

I don't think so but to my mind the answer is obvious because the number of scams has increased. It is difficult to define who is who. That's why a lot of people think that it is necessary to be careful with everyone
People who got scammed our those people who does not have the time to do research about the project or the investment they put effort upon doing. We should always take time to learn and to educate ourselves so that in the future we could a better way of earning and investing on putting our effort and time. So let us be aware of the risk that is always present in the world of investment and cryptos to avoid loss and being scam by other people.
