I will Never Fall Again

Finally. Then I thought to myself. The Knowledge getting from Bitcointalk is enough for me. They can't deceived anymore. I have learned and known. See    
My First Encounter/Experience With Crypto-Currency (Bitcoin) 2015

From this incident, I then thought, how many people were trapped by this promotion? moreover, they broadcast it on the radio channel. What if people in rural areas are interested and then without doing any analysis or without knowing beforehand they join the promotion in the hope of earning money. But finally, ended up a scam? I am also confused that they even boldly broadcast it on a radio channel. Is this really the newest way?
That is why if we have been here, we can learn much about crypto investment and we are more aware of something too good to be true and its probability of scams. although this may not be exact scam, but at least, you have been good to be aware at first and avoide the possibiility.

Thanks for sharing this information. We need to be attentive and not believe anything that is heard.

That’s amusing how they are just using bitcoin and its enormous topics just to attract the listeners, clickers and readers etc. Unfortunately, many of them wont even bother to study the topics before they speak.

What I read from your post is, the sponsors or RJ were just speaking our of their personal experience and in their own knowledge. That’s too bad to hear.

Radio and podcast still contributes to many peeps favouritism list and they should not direct them in such wrong ways.

No doubt bitcointalk is perfectly carved.

By taking advantage of the lack of people's knowledge about cryptocurrencies, this becomes a gap in any way to raise money, and of course it seems to miss a mutually beneficial collaboration between investors and devs. Therefore, we can see that there are still many people who are still being deceived. lucky we are in this forum which can provide good knowledge about crypto, so we can tread more carefully, and reduce the risk of fraud

Let me help you to put this more correctly, 'Bitcointalk makes people to be exposed more to let them know how many things in life are not what novices thought they are'. Example are the seminars. What most of them will teach people will be how to trade, but you have known about this already. Also from any seminar, you will see how the organizers are very wrong in many aspects. I have experienced this before too countless number of times. There is nothing better to be on a forum like Bitcointalk, it is never a wrong forum to be to discuss what is related to bitcoin, crypto, economy, life and many other aspects.

At Bitcointalk you directly discuss with the people in an organised manner.
Here you learn from people’s mistakes and experiences, and for that reason, the knowledge you gain from here for this respective field is unmatchable.
Also at Bitcointalk people are free to use any speech or any thoughts or recommendations on anyone. This make the whole system decentralised.
So OP at last you understood what went wrong with you, and hence hope you will rectify it.

The thing is, no one can share their false idea regarding bitcoins or any other cryptocurrency-related issues because as soon as they posted their mere speculation or some delusions regarding bitcoins, members are quick to reply especially those who know exactly what's going on and they will quickly be corrected on what rubbish they are blabbering about. In other words, most of the time when you read some topics regarding bitcoins here, consider it to be true when you see all the veteran members agree with what the OPs are saying.

[Rockstarguy]

Cryptocurrency seminar like this where by people give lot of incorrect information is not common, it happens both offline and online. Seminars like this has been happening since the existence of cryptocurrency,  people want to give wrong information about cryptocurrency to make money from people that will come for their seminar and even those who try to teach what cryptocurrency is in their seminar,  they fail to talk about about the risk involved in it, what is their only concern is to preach about investment to attract more customers for their seminar. Lot of people who lack knowledge about cryptocurrency have fall a lot of scam cryptocurrency seminar in the name of getting knowledge in cryptocurrency for investment.

[Davidvictorson]

Ignorant People are still falling for bitcoin seminars in the rural and some major cities in the world.

I agree with the OP's first statement. In fact some of the folks in the rural areas where there is hardly any access to the internet have associated bitcoin as an investment scam. I don't blame them because people would easily demonize what they do not understand.

Misinformation among the cryptocurrency communities is evident and will be rampant regarding newbies. There are a lot of people who are becoming a victim because of their lack of knowledge and self-research. Some people are lazy when reading facts and ensuring that they read suitable sources. Like here in the forum.

Yes. Misinformation and disinformation in the crypto ecosystem is like cancer. There a lot of fake gurus who try to sell crypto masterclass to gullible individuals. These gurus are only after enriching themselves and end up selling some sort of crypto-plan(Premium, Gold and Silver Plans) in their classes. They take advantage of the worsening economic crisis to dupe these poor fellows.

That is why we don't just listen to them but also make our own market research and discovery in order to know if these gurus are telling the truth or just spreading wrong information to the public. We can't deny the fact that they are somehow milking innocent people by thinking and believing what they say it true and even following what they say. A thing like this is similar to business and these gurus tried to manipulate innocent people and take their money.

Let's not spew hate on all seminars. Would you also criticize the ones made by Andreas? Many seminars are free and made to popularize cryptocurrencies, even if they have to advertise an altcoin or a service that sponsors the event. That part can be ignored but free knowledge is always worth your time.

[proTECH77]

That is the reason why we the Bitcoin users need to make them to understand what Bitcoin is all about to humanity, because some people don't want to study to know more about Bitcoin, than to discourage other not to involve in Bitcoin investment in the community. Bitcoin is not to make people rich only but to make things easy for them to grow well in their businesses or free for financial insecurity in the land. I believe, from today many we like to study decentralized currency very well, incase any seminar come up they will have something good to talk concerning decentralized currency.

If that seminar can really explain about cryptocurrency properly, I think it is free knowledge for us. But unfortunately, they have not been able to explain the core points of cryptocurrencies and are only trying to highlight their project and the lure of getting big profits in a certain period of time. This I have seen has happened in many places and many people have been deceived by their schemes. This is what makes us very careful if we want to join or see free seminars from them because they definitely have a purpose in inviting people to come to their seminars.

Fake news and false information are everywhere. There will be people who will initiate seminars but will use the name of Bitcoin for them to atttract people but will end up endorsing their own product. They are the people who are not fully equipped with knowledge about cryptocurrency yet spreading false information which can only deceive people. That's why we must always do our research so we'll know the truth and we're able to correct the wrong details.

[savetheFORUM]

Indeed because not all that we hear and see are true so before we believe on them, it will be better if we double check it first by doing some research online although not all information scattered online are also real but still there must be sources which can be identified as legit like for example this forum, most topics and replies here are legit especially if it came from a member with a good reputation and rank is already high at the same time.

We shouldn't fall again on the same scheme or trap if we know that we have been on the same situation before. A few mistake would be enough already I guess? To be able to change yourself for the better.

In this world you have to be constantly on your guard against being ripped off. Scammers usually sell you their product with nice words, obviously, because they don't want you to be aware that they want to scam you. Even in the case of legal projects that are not technically scams, there is also a lot of marketing that doesn't tell you everything, such as trading courses that minimise the risk of losing money and focus on the fact that you are going to earn a lot of money easily.

It's true we should be more wary of scammers who disguise themselves with their products and promise sweet and in good words all he does so that we are smitten in his seduction.
I often hear seminars like this in my area that continue to offer their products and of course in essence they talk about Bitcoin and its uses but in the end they continue their products that can exceed bitcoin, all of which is done to get what comes from those who come to the seminar , but I still realized that it was not a good seminar but the trick they did for the action.

[Mr.sprin]

Those who already have enough knowledge about bitcoin and how there are many scams with investing in crypto will no longer be tempted but unfortunately even more who do not know what bitcoin and how scammers try to deceive people, what's more annoying is that it's quite difficult to convince those people that it's a scam.

That's right, friends, people's habits when they have experience will definitely not repeat the mistake a second time, if there are still people who are still repeating the same mistakes, that person is really careless or stupid, that habit is a scam, they use the mode by asking for gas to transfer coins to wallet.

Some Twitter Spaces are worth listening 🎧 to to be very honest. Spending your good time on good sources and educative peeps are really worth it. Also the opportunity we have got from the community is another priceless one.
Looking deep in oneself for guidance and self education are indeed GOATED. The more one reads Bitcoin the more he/ her see's that Bitcoin isn't only for investment and getting quick flow of cash as they want. Those technically sound are building on Bitcoin and those who aren't should go on accumulating Bitcoin. Big Billionaires are also investing with Bitcoin, most big digital spaces and firms growing up can not grow and come to reality without the usage of Bitcoin.

Metaphor of Bitcoin: Radio Frequency 93.1 Bitcoin Seminar

July 23, 2022

Ignorant People are still falling for bitcoin seminars in the rural and some major cities in the world. I was listening to 93.1 Radio Station in my locality. And a programme pop up titled, "Metaphor of Bitcoin". Which the presenter and the sponsor of the programme were try to explain the Metaphor of Bitcoin and I was provoked, they provided a phone number for the interested people to send text. What the sponsor said that made me provoked was, he said, Metaphor of Bitcoin is an Investment Platform (wallet) whereby bitcoiners can used to make money. It is a decentralized system in which nobody can control another person coin (s) even the developer of the software. It also uses per to per (p2p) system. And the presenter was asked to explain the p2p system to the listeners and sponsor said, "it is just like meeting whereby members among themselves give money to the person that is due to collect". Later he put it in this way. It is a contribution of money among people. Although to some extend he was correct but I called the number  which was provided and explained p2p to them in detail.

Peer to peer means, it is the direct exchange of goods and services (asset) among users of digital currencies without the interference of the national authorities.

I recorded part of the programme, I would have uploaded it but this forum doesn't accept audio. So I used another website to upload the audio. See link to the audio http://sndup.net/gchb

Finally. Then I thought to myself. The Knowledge getting from Bitcointalk is enough for me. They can't deceived anymore. I have learned and known. See

Isn't this the usual problem where everyone is still trying to rip some people off when it comes to Bitcoin or other crypto asset investments? This person clearly knows they don't know enough to teach others about Bitcoin and not just the Investment part which of cause is the most attractive part to talk to people about since all the presenter wants is how to make money off them but understanding what Bitcoin is, is very important. So, while educating people about Bitcoin is important, miss education is another problem hence people fall into the wrong investment and see Bitcoin as even more of a scam.

Some activities are really inspiring to me, especially when I see a positive attitude towards Bitcoin. Today there are various seminars and programs on Bitcoin that will make people play an important role in its proper use and development. If such activities are expanded further, the new generation will be able to take adequate benefits from it.
