When I first heard of Bitcoin and How it scared me

[Maisha breedlove]

fear of the unknown is a natural thing that comes as a safety net for us humans.
I had my doubts if bitcoin will ever take off as it was not from a central government which mearnt many will not be intrested in it, but 10 years later look at how this asset is the most sought after

At the very first moment I was shown the proof of earning bitcoin and exchanged into my local fiats in 2016. This brought me confidence then and there. What else we need to proof the existence of Bitcoin except the transaction history. At the same time I was introduced to bitcointalk.org. Since then, yes I am here and I am so gratitude to this forum and to my friend who introduced me to the crypto. Hats-off to the founder of Bitcoin.

I'm responding this through the subject sentence ( headline) i know from the beginning many people who did not understand concept of cryptocurrency was afraid of bitcoin because of lack of trust, but now it's a currency that has become more influential to the society, when it was first created in 2009 it's only few people that know it potential, so from the knowledge someone have acquire in cryptocurrency sphere no time you come into the space of bitcoin is late or waste.
 
You heard information of someone that achieve two thousand dollars ($2000) from Bitcoin, yes" it's possible that you can make well in cryptocurrency especially bitcoin when you give it concentration, in cryptocurrencies investment, adventuring into Trading can as well give you profit, adventuring into long term investment can as well give you hugs profit..so it's base on your areas of base or concentration that will determine your acceleration or your elevation via profit and lost that's into investment.

I was comfortable with the investment package that did cut across depositing a $200 and earn $2500 in 24hours. I also saw many testimonies from other users on how they have been successful credited.

I practically held my breath when I got to that point in the quote and hoped you didn't succumb. Sadly, you did. You learnt your lesson anyway. I'm always of the opinion that those who fall prey to such scams are greedy, and that's rightly so. So, in your right thinking mind you actually thought someone could double your investment from $200 to $2500 within 24hrs and they couldn't do it for themselves or their families? The ROI promised was out of imagination and only Ponzi schemes can promise such. I once fell for such trick as a noob but it was for something far less.

Your account was registered in this forum in 2014 and you didn't earn any Bitcoin till 2016? Are you kidding me? It's kind of hard to relate, anyway. Except you just registered and then left without being active on the forum.

There are many perceptions outside that bitcoin is considered profitable and also a scam. especially with the many cases of fraud in the crypto world, it makes the Crypto world even more tarnished. It's not the fault of BTC or other cryptos when we experience losses, but back again with ourselves how we manage the assets we have, whether it's good or not. That's why before entering the crypto world, people must have good knowledge so that they can defend their assets and survive in the unpredictable crypto market. most of the cases of loss in crypto are due to fraud and also greed. so my advice we must be self aware and be more careful in playing crypto.

It happened to most of us, even me when I heard of Crypto-Currency, I was thinking that it was a method used by the internet fraudsters to scam the innocent people in the world of Internet. I used 3 years to a abandon it and 3 years to observe it and trying to learn more about.


In this process of I move into scammers and they scan me
