You guys are pro for scammers. you blame and critize the victim of a scam. If bitcoin is such a currency, no thank.
Would you believe anybody - yes, anybody, this includes celebs - on a random youtube video that tells you to invest all your money somewhere, without doing fact-checking by yourself first??
It is natural for people to question whether a financial action they are doing is the correct one or not - that's why so many average people are skeptical of using bitcoin (this skepticism is actually a
good thing as it means they are making a decision for themselves and not relying on someone else to do it for them).
Hell, there are even some HYIPs out there that are legit that I found - but only after extensive fact-checking and word-of-mouth from friends.
So, before you make any significant financial decision next time, you should
1) Pause and think about whether it's the right decision
2) think about it again, because usually your first thought is by impulse
3) think about it a
third time, just to confirm whether you want to act on your previous thoughts,
4) Ask a friend or stranger that knows about this, because usually a lot of headaches can be saved by following advice of more experienced people.
Ranting at forum members just because they are telling you about how you got scammed, and subsequently telling you how this problem cannot be fixed in bitcoin mainnet (without a significant loss to decentralization), is not going to help you learn a lesson from this.
You should admit that you made a mistake, learn a lesson from it, and move on (
and report the scam video to Youtube so that other people don't get scammed by it), otherwise you're at a greater chance of being scammed a second time with this exact same method.
