He's thankful he found "Bitcoin"

[Wind_FURY]

Hahaha! Scammed.

But on a serious note, this is what happens when trolls/liars/propagandists reach the the people who are early on their journey.

It's YOUR responsibility to give them the truth, and put them on the correct path.

I truly appreciate Pham. My goal was to acquire 1 $BTC by the end of the year, and thanks to you I found out about $BSV, and now own about 15 BitCoin. My new goal is 30 BitCoin by 12/31/2019.

in the end it is the user's responsibility to do extensive research about the thing they are buying. for example when you are buying a phone you just don't go to a flee market, close your eyes and pick the first thing you encounter. instead you read some online reviewed, check out the features, learn how to detect fake ones made by the Chinese forging the brand name,...
it is the same with bitcoin too! they have to do some research and see how to detect fake shitcons that are forging the bitcoin brand.

Agreed, you can't just enter the crypto world and invest in the first thing you see, that kind of looks like what you want. I think that people still see crypto as an easy solution, a quick way to get rich, and they don't even realize how much research there is to do to even gain a basic grasp of the market, different coins, what to invest in, and more. However, how many would have been instantly intimidated if they did know how much they don't know? It takes dedication to persist, I think, and I wonder if the majority of people have it in them to actually learn and understand what this technology is and how it works. Not to mention the dangers of it all.

LOL! I remember I've seen somebody having a (Chinese) "IPhone" running on Android.

I advised him learn about Dogecoin. He surely can reach high numbers faster than with BSV and at least it's a reputable altcoin.
I hope he understands sarcasm.

There are a lot of unknowns in the whole crypto world and extensive research is needed before one starts investing, it's like buying stocks you need to do some research on your own and not just trust the words and opinions of everyone who claims to be a crypto expert, most of them have their reasons for doing what they do.

Really LOL! haha. He's thankful he found Bitcoin but with the value of Bitcoin SV. Actually he indeed found BSV and not BTC. hehe
But I think, instead of trolling or joining the crowd. Why not just teach them the right knowledge? He needs a guidance cause he obviously lack of information about bitcoin.

[mocacinno]

That's exactly what i was thinking... The poor schmuck just invested +$1000 in a fork and everybody is making fun at him... Why doesn't anybody take the time to explain to him that he needs to exchange those BSV back into fiat or BTC asap and teach him where he went wrong?
I know i should do it myself instead of posting on bitcointalk, but to tell you the truth, i do have a twitter account, but i very seldomly use it, so i guess nobody would believe a twitter-newbie with a handfull of followers anyways...

This is exactly what Roger Ver and his supporters wants, because they know "newbies" will opt for the cheaper coin and then buy the wrong coin. The decision to use the word "Bitcoin" in their forked coin was done on purpose to confuse these "newbies" and to piggyback on the most popular coin <Bitcoin> BTC reputation.

It is unfortunate that people are not doing the proper research before they invest in Crypto currencies and then things like this happens and when the person realize their mistake, Bitcoin <BTC> gets the bad rap.  

[Mandoy]

This post was actually funny. I check the twitter link and read some comments that were very hilarious.I feel pity for that guy he has no ideas he has been a laughing stock at twitter. I do hope somebody corrects him and tell him that btc and bsv are two different things. But at the same time holding bsv is also not bad since if bitcoins value will climb it will also affects bsv value. So I guess he will still profit but the only wrong is that he took BSV and BTC as the same.

[Lucius]

Fortunately, this is a mistake that can be easily corrected just by selling BSV and investing in BTC. It is very easy for an inexperienced person to go in the wrong direction, especially since any of forked Bitcoins is using Bitcoin in the name. There is also the factor of big and small numbers, as is evident in this case as well - he want 1BTC, now he has 30 coins which are in a way Bitcoins, but not the real ones.

The fact that Roger Ver and Faketoshi have an entire army of promoters should not be overlooked, they are working for their own financial gain, and against Bitcoin that is launched by Satoshi Nakamoto.

People tend to enjoy bullying and discriminating other people who do stupid stuffs, I don't know if this make them happy or this is just their habits but they are the ones who looks stupid to me, they know they are not helping and bullying or trash talking people who made a mistake because they are just newbies yet they are still continuing on such act.

[aioc]

Hahaha! Scammed.

But on a serious note, this is what happens when trolls/liars/propagandists reach the the people who are early on their journey.

It's YOUR responsibility to give them the truth, and put them on the correct path.

I truly appreciate Pham. My goal was to acquire 1 $BTC by the end of the year, and thanks to you I found out about $BSV, and now own about 15 BitCoin. My new goal is 30 BitCoin by 12/31/2019.

Damn, you are right when I was just starting out here, the hardest thing is to see how's shilling and who's giving you the right information, and this is very much true today when so many deceptions are happening, so many bounty hunters feeding us wrong information and so many developers telling us they are the next big thing, the hardest part now is to see the real and the fake one and how to differentiate.

[Astvile]

What a guy rofl. $1.3k is just almost 15% of total bitcoins price and this guy is so happy about it and trolls or he just doesn't know what he is really doing in his miserable life lol.

It's YOUR responsibility to give them the truth, and put them on the correct path.

You can't only blame the one who persuades someone to join. Yes we are responsible for our downlines or mentee but they are also responsible and in control of what they will do in the future, on what they'll be doing in the stuff you told them about if they want to head to the right path they will by themselves.

This is a little bit funny but sad. The guy is thinking that he got Bitcoin by buying BSV. I now remember the early days of BitcoinCash where some people were also fooled to get BCH convinced that they were dealing with the real Bitcoin. I read that Tweeter post and I could not help laughing at the many reactions of the others. Oh man, where is the intelligence here, I mean even a 6-year old boy can easily distinguish between the two by just reading the main page of CMC.

[ChrisPop]

Unfortunately the crypto space is still in big majority the equivalent of wild west. People who endeavour on this journey need to make all their decisions on themselves and shouldn't get trapped in someone else's efforts to promote/market a scam. Or somebody else's mistakes, faults and stupidness. Personally I am bearish on any altcoin that has the word "Bitcoin" in their name

[bitmover]

Fortunately, this is a mistake that can be easily corrected just by selling BSV and investing in BTC.

It can easily correct once he makes a proper research and decides to change his investment plan.
The problem is that it is very hard to find accurate information regarding cryptocurrencies.

We see so many bullshit regarding scaling, quantum superiority, faketoshi, bitcoin old tech, etc etc that it is very hard for some people to stay away from all those scams.

Even bitcointalk became a place for those stupid ideas, although here we can find also people who "show the light" to newbies

[lionheart78]

But each people perceive truth differently and it's shown by the fact there are few BCH and BSV enthusiast who genuinely thought BCH or BSV are best cryptocurrency.
And because they genuinely thought it's the truth, they will invite others to follow the same path.

Hopefully that was the case, if not, I feel sorry to these people who were mislead by lies and deception of BSV people. 

Fortunately, this is a mistake that can be easily corrected just by selling BSV and investing in BTC.

True, but regardless he still wasting his time and losing some amount of his money due to exchange fees, transaction fees, price changes, etc.

Not only that, somehow he became a laughing stock of many people including some of us here.  I actually laugh when I read about the tweet.

Or people are not just reading correctly what the post - tweet meant? the way i perceive it is that the persons intention was to own one btc by the end of the year but for some reason he was introduce to bsv which is  worth 15 btc, and his next goal is 30 btc if the much anticipated bull run occur by year end, this is my interpretation of the above tweet, i don't think this person is mistaken btc to bsv at all, to me he seem to know exactly what he is saying, after all btc can be acquire using other coins not necessary btc.

[airdnasxela]

Sorry that I find it funny as well. Believing it was btc. Also the replies "sorry for your loss" had me laughing. we'll end up in a conclusion that we should really study first what we're going into before making action to avoid these kind of happenings. I bet he already learned his lesson.
Though it would be better if stan twitter should've taught him, yet they just laugh at him. I know it's funny but they should have educate him after laughing.
