Why do people still fall victims to obvious scams? Especially on twitter people are still sending bitcoin to traders, no one is a perfect trader, do not send bitcoin or other coins to people to trade for you, its stupid and foolish idea

Today a bitcoin trader on twitter exit scam and delete all traces off social media, i heard its about 53bitcoin, here is the link to the news

https://coinnewstelegraph.com/bitmex-bitcoin-fund-manager-exit-scams-before-christmas/

Pls stop, there is no such thing as easy money, its either you learn or you quit or else you will keep losing money

Maybe those people who easily fall for those obvious scams are just new into this industry we are into. I think due to desperation to easily earn or gain income as soon as he got engaged into this industry, he falls for the promising and convincing talks from strangers and easily believe of their sweet words as a promise to give them an easy output of having a large money. Remember everyone, whether on crypto community, or in real life, there is no such thing as an easy money or money that can be earned that easy and can make you instantly rich through single way. For you to be able to earn in crypto world, you must be observant and knowledgeable on how things work so you will not easy be fooled or fall for sweet words and get scammed by obvious scam strategies. Desperation to earn money drives an individual to fall for such obvious scams but always remember and keep into mind that it is much appreciated to earn money through your own way and experienced earning it even on a difficult way.

Because people want to be cheated. Because people like to make easy money. There is no easy money in this market. An investment needs to be done for days. Making money is not simple. Bitcoin excites many people. I think we need to calm down. You should be smarter when investing.
Nobody in this market wants to be cheated, it all happens because their greed is so great and they want to make lots of money without having to do anything. Most newcomers to this market will be scammed by ponzi projects and ICO projects, but after they have been in the market for a while, they will know how to stay away from similar projects.

That's right, we all really need to stay calm in investing, because actually making a lot of money is not easy and simple, so I totally agree with what you say, because most of the novice investors they think is very simple.

If these people happened to be a victim of scammers, they should learn to control themselves. They used to be greedy because of lack of knowledge, and unlike those experienced traders they've been so clever on different projects.
That's good to have some good tries, but don't use bigger amount of funds to avoid frustrations.

Many people can be a victim of a scam because they are greedy. They wanted to earn a lot of money in the fastest way and in a short period of time that's why they try their luck by investing a one time big time amount of money because they believe that the money they have invested will be multiplied 2x,3x or more. In order to avoid scam they have to be careful on investing their money and try atleast a small amount of money at first.

in investing we do have to understand every way of investing properly and correctly too, because in investing we cannot invest by just thinking briefly because we also have to understand all the good and bad things that will happen when an investment is run

It's just because they're selfish and arrogant. Nonetheless, we can't predict when someone will turn into a greedy creature and then abandon the scheme, but it's really wrong to trust our fund to someone else first. If you're puzzled about why people can easily get scammed that way, you'll need to see those people who've entered multi-level marketing or ponzi schemes. They're stupid enough to believe the word of a stranger as if it's like being a scam target.
People definitely get scammed because of their own ignorance and at times too much greed. They want simple money where they don’t have to spend a lot of time and no hard work is required. What I believe is that these people shall stay vigilant in the market which is full of projects and do proper detailed research before making any sort of investments or else they will keep getting scammed.

First is greed, many people are greedy to sell, greedy to scammers when promised heavy reward without investing if it's real or not, some don't sell when they make profits etc. There are ways that always make people fall victims.

in the end they will also be discouraged if they continue to get real and recurring losses, many of my friends realize that they are just wasting money based on greed and quick profits, and finally choosing to do swing trades manually, it's not good to try to depend on other parties whose responsibilities are unclear.

It's a very sad moment when we're hearing victims crying and lately found that the good deal they've found is a scam. Everybody should also inform the others that they are not just on twitter anymore but they're also living in almost every social media platform there. The newest now is the giveaway that they do through livestream on youtube channels with making their channel names look like the real one. So be careful and don't be the one that will be affected by those scams.

After all these well publicized scams, if people continue to pour their hard earned money in to the scam projects, then I have to say that it is their fault. Lack of experience and greed by the investors are the reasons why they get scammed so easily. Hopefully after getting scammed one or two times, they will learn the lesson the hard way and may become careful in the future.

A real product on a new project will be my choice in the future.Scamed is very good at doing lots of things to get a lot of money, they will post photos of other people and make visits when there are new team members to be able to convince potential investors, this situation often occurs and I think new investors will have to be careful if they want to invest on new projects.

Maybe those were the people who has been very hopeful so they took the risk that it could change their life with that certain project, they were very helpless and they have seen something that satisfied them because of the promises from the core team, they didn't think well that they should consider what promised has been fulfilled already by the team.

Sad to say but you're actually right people nowadays falls on obvious scams maybe because the greed inside of them drives them nuts making them to invest on something that is obviously will which more likely make them lose everything they have, there's no such thing as fast money it's either wait or lose.

ignorance and greed are main factors pushing investors or bounty hunters into the hands of scam projects. People know there are many scam projects in the market. But they are easily lured by most attractive offers made by scam projects and eventually fall victims of them. Stopping being too much greedy, and conduct a research to avoid scam projects.

That's what a human behavior that I think is normal, we are eager and hunger to earn as much as we can that sometimes we can't control ourselves that we are already thinking something that is beyond our limit, and that's the consequence most of the time we fall from a scam project, sometimes we are just after what we can earn not thinking if the project was legit or not.

Only newbies could easily fall victim to these types of scams as they heard that they can easily make money in crypto that’s the reason why they jumped in immediately without thinking twice. Its a lesson for some but other still don’t learn from their mistakes.

Even not newbies can still fall in these scams as many are still hoping to earn in easy ways, we can't blame them but they should not also blame others when the project is proven scam, there's always a cons and pros in our decisions. Sometimes others are able to manage to find a good project but still get to be scam later on so always be watchful in where we invest our money and trust.

This happens because people live in pink glasses and believe everything. But I think this infantile behavior usually changes after the first deception. Of course, you need to forbid yourself to send your Bitcoins to some unknown person from social networks. It's amazing how people fall for such a ridiculous deception.

That is due to the greediness of a person and having a high expectation of easy money.
It is true that this will only change a person once they experience to be deceived. You will learn that this kind of trick might happen that's why you will limit yourself from immediately sending money to a person.

Most vitcims are newbies when it comes to investment,  they are easily to caught into bait. Newbies are hungry for returns or double thier money in 3 to 5 days, all they want is easy money they are not thinking about the risk.
