Learn and learn and keep learning will safe you from lots of foul play

[Shallow]

Honestly If anyone just come into crypto space through a link or online ads it's easier to get lost and fall victim to scams, i never get hacked for once or lost money to scam projects simply because I favoured learning things I don't know anything about, why can't people be like this either? This will easily safe you from money doubling schemes and Ponzi schemes, please newcomers and members, be more willing to learn.

A wise man said, "scientia potentia est" which is a Latin aphorism meaning "knowledge is power" (Francis Bacon). Indeed knowledge is power, that is to say, you need to learn in order to have power over what you want because it is through learning that you will understand how best to guide yourself. You have clearly distinguished it all, most people failed to understand that lies in the crypto space and that's the reason why most always fell for scams, hacks or makes mistakes like losing their keys etc. Therefore I agree with you, until we start learning what is obtainable here, we might keep falling for the wrong things such Ponzi etc.

No matter how loud your voice is, ignorant people will still continue to exist. 
The desperation and greed are already part of the market and it will continue to exist because everyone eyes only anyway to get rich no matter what the risks are OR how it is done.
In terms of ads, I never trusted ads from Facebook as it could be made by bots sharing posts automatically.

Foul play aside, it is said that knowledge is power in most aspects of life.
In crypto currency, either as a trader or an investor or a bounty hunter, there is a need to keep learning, and i mean learning daily if not, you will be left behind.

Alot of projects copying 2017 projects mode of conducting crowdfunding and road-map are no where today, while traders who do not learn by doing proper research activities find themselves in rekt.

Always do your own research, that way you learn even more.

In addition to all you have said which is of course true, most people hardly tell newbies or those showing interest of joining the crypto space the truth or rather the reality of things on ground.  They might have different reasons but that doesn't cut the fact that, the risks etc that exists within the crypto space must be told. Most people join with different expectations and when it is not met are quick to say funny things which points to the fact, they lacked adequate knowledge. So at every point in time, in our own little ways lets make sure the risks etc of the crypto space is being explained this will go a long way in keeping them safe from scams, pump and dump coins etc. Lastly explaining what exists in the crypto space will increase their urge to learn more thus leading to more learning.

Learning never gets old it exposes us to new knowledge daily. We should develop the habit of learning things that are worthwhile.

[michellee]

You should be happy because you are not one of the victims that get hack or scam. You must still be careful because the scammer or the hacker still at the outside and waiting for their time. As long as you can still protect yourself by reading the preventive way to secure your account and your wallet, you will not be their target. We need to always learn about how to protect our accounts so we can safe the money that we have.

The reason I think why people can't be like you is either they are eager to earn by trying everything than learning things,

This is something that people should realize that learning will never stop and it will continue every day, this is the most important part to avoid scams, investment schemes and other types of hacks that everyone had experienced.

That is right never stop learning because that is the only weapon we can use in any battle might have to face in coming years especially cryptocurrency has evolve into something beyond our thought. Sure blockchain will keep on improving as days go by and so are we should not get left behind in order to keep up to dates with new innovations blockchain will bring.

Well said, mate. The desire of the people to make money as early as they can, especially those newbies who should know first the very basics about cryptocurrency. They prioritize getting rich and taking the easy path and accepting those far from reality promise.

It is just because most people here who fell to the scheme are they who just focus on the profit only. They are too focus the profit and forget to find the basic thing before spend their money. Maybe I will understand if there is many people who get scammed when they come to crypto at 2010-2013 ago because at that time there was no one who give an advice to start to invest. But if compare with the current situation, I feel they are fool to be scammed. Because if you try to googling an advice starting to invest then it will be much people who provide it and you just only read it and understood it and I will bet you will never fall to the scammer.

When you simply look into the core reason why most people are getting hacked is, clicking anonymous links and installing software without bothering the checksum. Yes, it is all about knowledge which is possible only if we keep on learning new things and getting ourselves aware on various recent incidents with respect to online security and other related things.

I believe into this forum whenever I'm not sure about something I will straightly come here to open in a new topic to get answers for my doubts. This community is always awesome to get me what I am exactly looking for. Without help from this community, I would have turned a victim some long time back itself.

I think experience is a good teacher after all. Get scammed is not bad at all you learn something from that and make you be aware, careful & wise. I think people already know the consequences invest on cryptocurrency but they ignore it because of greedy.

I don't doubt about this, you are saying the real fact about crypto, if you don't spend time learning you will never get very good, scammers always find new ways to scam people and the more you learn about this better, you won't fall for any bad tricks

[plvbob0070]

Never stop learning, this is so simple to say yet its hard to follow this one. Sometimes the best lesson are come from a failure so I think this is normal now to a newbie and I’m sure they will learn easily if they got scam. Knowing the best project is a must, and of course if you’re on a shit project better not to expect too much from that.

We should never stop learning because in the future it can be our best asset to earn and make more profit. I know the struggle to learn more new things especially in this field, and it's not easy just like that but if you have a determination to learn, I'm sure in the end you will become knowledgeable. Most of the newbies have difficulty finding the best projects, and right now the market is now full of scam and shit project plus, sometimes the decent project that we find turns into a shit project. We should always exert more effort and time to learn new things and having various knowledge in cryptocurrency will totally help you determine which project will have potential in the future. That's right mate, don't expect too much on shit projects and it's better to avoid them than risk your money to it.

But, this time I have a lot of time to learn more things because we are on enhanced community quarantine and somehow reading more articles/books about cryptocurrency and blockchain helps me to reduce my boredom in our house, and at the same time improving my knowledge.

Indeed, scammers will always there to find their victims. If ever that they have found out that you are not knowledgeable enough about crypto, they will try to make you fall for their tricks. People should spend enough time to learn and this will keep them from falling as a victim of scams.

Panic and Greedy are two bad habits in crypto, whoever has these two, they will surely lose a good amount of money and profits! But if you learn things well and you know what to do with the different situations, you will be safe anytime, bull or bear market will not be a major fact for you! So, to achieve this knowledge you have to read, practice and learn! OP, I agree with your view! Learning can safe a crypto enthusiast from foul plays!

Because scammers are also growing but if you keep your mins equip with the right knowledge, then they will not succeed on you. I do believe on continuous learning especially on trading and investing, cryptocurrency is very volatile and if you don’t have knowledge on that, then expect to lose money.

That is the right thought. One thing about life is that learning never stops. It is more like a necessity in this journey of life. The day a man stops learning, that day is when he starts to become vulnerable.
also, learning can either be conscious or unconsciously and do not assume you know it all, maybe through materials that you read. You can also learn from a fellow human whom on a normal ground might seem to know nothing.

Yes, panic and greedy could be overcome by experience and by learning lots of practices for it. I believe these habits are more dangerous for traders and gamblers and usually all crypto adopters also getting affected by these habits because they are reacting based on these things which will affect the entire crypto ecosystem as well. This is the reason many people are suggesting about not listening to FUDs and FOMO.

to achieve this knowledge you have to read, practice and learn! OP, I agree with your view! Learning can safe a crypto enthusiast from foul plays!

I also agree that learning must be important part of being successful crypto adopter. Because, this space requires continuous learning to update our knowledge about securing our crypto savings and making it grow by investing in reliable resources. people who forget about learning may lose their position and may become a common man in rest of world.

Yes, crypto is a crucial asset we need to research and keep on going through articles to avoid mistakes, to overcome this we need to learn and observe the market situation only then we have to Invest.

You cannot blindly Invest in a coin from hearing here and there also do not give prior to the FUDs. Crypto journey is a long-term so plan wisely to avoid losing money.
