Greed is one of the most important problems when making a financial decision, FOMO can also affect the decision, I came across this in 2017.

in the same way, greed killed many people in 2017 because they thought that cryptocurrency would grow forever and 80 percent of people who bought bitcoin for 600-1000 dollars did not sell it for 20 thousand. it was a very big mistake of many investors

I would also advise you not to respond to messages from strangers who offer you a quick way to get money. I noticed that such cases of fraud have become more frequent and it is very important to pay attention to this.

Need to advise users that using social media constantly because they are the one's that getting involve on this kind of issue and the easy prey for this kind of fraud. so I suggest that reduce using social media also to not getting involve on this huge deceit that will loss your interest in all.

Many people also follow the signal senders on social media on where there are many scammers try to give exact signals in the start and after that when they find that now their followers are trusting on them they start to scam people by giving wrong signals or by giving other scam services. We have to stay away from these people and have to do trade with our own research.

In Cryptocurrencies, when something sounds too good to be true, then it's definitely too good to be true, I recently saw a group in telegram that was offering Cryptocurrency loans with just 10% collateral, basically you could deposit 1 BTC and collect a loan of 10 BTC, it sounds stupid when I say it like this but the fact is that some starry-eyed newbies would still fall for it, afterall some people still fell for the money doubling schemes.

Sounds funny when people still believe in money doubling, how can one use 1BTC to get 10BTC? Anyone who get scammed in this manner is foolishly greedy. Even on twitter, I see scammers replying tweets from popular crypto influencers saying they are doing a bonanza, send 1 ETH get 2 ETH something of this nature, and people still fall prey. We all need to be wise, common sense is not common.

There are lots of things you should consider before making a move in different ways or earning here in the forum, let us say you are an investors, of course as a good investor, you should consider different things like you should read the whitepaper of that particular project because you can read all of the information about the project there, you can also read information at their website on what are they going to do. Let us say you are a trader, you should consider things that is good for you, do not trust anyone in this sector because there are lots of scammers here since we are in a digital world we dont know who are we talking to.

Greed: Greed has led a lot of people straight to rekt, like my story above would have told you, I couldn't resist the pull of greed even when I had doubled my funds.

It's quite difficult to control this. Especially if there is an opportunity, surely the desire to get more profit will arise, even though the opportunity is small and has already benefited at hand. Human nature, we must really be able to control this, this will also make us easily affected by FOMO.

Never ever trust your funds in the hands of another person especially a stranger who messages you on telegram, infact when a random stranger messages you on telegram without your permission, block them immediately before they even say anything to avoid being convinced to part with your money because if one juicy offer or another. What they have learnt now is to claim to be professional traders that could help you trade and remit the profits to you and it must have been working on some people because they scammers seem more persistent than ever.

[Shasha80]

In my opinion, of the many scams that occurred, the beginning was because we were too greedy to get money. So we cannot think
rationally about what we are going to do, for example there is a site offering to make money you have doubled in the short term by
depositing some money. If we think intelligently there is no easy way to get money, we will immediately realize it is a fraud. But
because greed has taken hold of our minds, we cannot think rationally anymore. Finally, we believe and are deceived, and therefore
we must avoid greed. Because it is very dangerous to make we are easily fooled.

You indeed made your points explicit and it was quite explanatory. The major factor here is indeed greed, this has cause so many a bitter experience, in a bid to get more, they tend to loose all. People should do proper research before investing on Anything, you don't just invest because others are investing too

Yes. Initial research should always be done before an investment made so that you will be aware if that is a legit one or another scam project. And when investing, do not ride on a FOMO and do not be greedy because they will surely make you lose or being scammed in the end.

Even legit projects can turn to be a crap one.
I have invested in a legit project before, I did my research, check the team, the feasibility of the project and all.
But the tokens are now worthless, seems that the team has no success of implementing their system.
I can't say that they scammed the investors, but I think they have no luck in making their platform a reality.

Great information but also there are many trusted exchanges which offer good services to users. Instead of jumping from one unknown platform to another risking your money you can invest in some of this exchanges services and earn good return

The biggest problem of todays society is greed, even when people are doing good profit from a coin (50-70%) they are not selling them. They keep holding all their altcoins and sooner or later the price drops and makes -x10.

this happened to me in the past when I bought ETH, at that time the price had increased but I didn't sell it immediately because I was sure it would go up again but what happened ETH went down and I regret that I didn't sell it when it went up and now I if I do trading if it's a profit I will sell it immediately for fear of repeating again like before

I also think that it will be enough just to follow the beaten paths.
All the same, the time of HYIPs and other options for quick money has passed, everything that appears now needs to be attributed to extremely risky and speculative options that will most often be a scam.
Use the tools that major players and professionals use, these tools are in plain sight and on everyone’s lips.

For you to be able to avoid those scamming projects, you must be able to have enough knowledge first here in the cryptocurrency. There are a lot of investments here and one of the very common investments was investing to a project and waiting the project to reach he soft and hard cap of them then you will earn, but be aware of those scamming projects that is in the first they are good at paying but later on they will just be missing like a bubbles that will pop, and also don't be to much greed because one of the many reason why people get scammed is because of their greediness to earn.

The market is the best teacher of all time, no one can guide you to find the perfect entry and exit price points. The greedy human psychology is the reason behind the flash crash and monthly uptrend on the crypto charts, it is same psychology in other financial markets. If you missed the trading opporutnity, don't overthink about it, another opportunity will shine on the corner.

knowledge is important after that, relationships also become important because if you have many relationships you will find it easier to find projects to do research, then you can invest or join a bounty campaign if you have one. but knowledge is preferred because if you don't have knowledge you can only listen to people's references without being able to understand the concept of the project independently

I think being knowledgable in cryptocurrency is already a thing to avoid being a scam if you already know the market and how things work in the crypto world,
It will be easy for you to identify the scam websites and scam advertisement on the internet. A lot of newbie in cryptocurrency getting scam because they are being greedy in earning a good amount of bitcoin in a lot of websites I experience joining an HYIP in my years in cryptocurrency and if the advertisement of the website is too good to be true if it obviously a scam. There is no way you could earn a 20-50% of your investment daily with just investing your money this kind of scheme online or HYIP was just a bait and probably they are just circulating the money of others in your account.
