I will Never Fall Again

[doomloop]

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

This is the best benefit we get from here as the forum itself helps everyone to know more about Bitcoin and how it works. And all the experience we have seems to be our guide for the next step and the long journey we have to encounter. As we encounter different personalities with different market opinions, we know already what is right and what is wrong, and we know how to adjust the situation especially in dealing scam.

It's not totally the forum that gives information but it was only a kind of meeting place. It was the users of the forum are the ones that shares information. So, thanks to those users who also get their knowledge on different places and then they share it here. No need for us to do the same but all information are already laid down for us to digest. And what do you mean by adjust in the situation when dealing on scams?

But, if you know that it was a scam, why will you still involve yourself on it? Even if we think we are experienced enough, will it be better if we can only support those projects who are legit? We can also become a good example for those newbies.

I really pity those crypto newbies who fall pray in the hands of these fraud stares, if not that I engaged in a paid mentorship program to learn about cryptocurrency I think I would have falling a pray too some years back when I received a flier invitation titled "come and learn how to invest in Bitcoin". The level of fraudulent activity this days is much.

[famososMuertos]

I think surely we are from different generations, I come from a time when any broadcaster, especially traditional media, had to be prepared, not only to speak into a microphone, but literally everything he dared to say on air.

And with everything and that was a time of little access to information and this at a global level, the people who had that opportunity to speak and spread through the traditional media, press, radio and TV, made an effort, alway.

Today there is so much information that, unlike before (XX), anyone can give an opinion on anything because they have the information within the reach of a cell phone, but many do not understand it and it is not only with technologies like bitcoin, many others.

It is an irony but In times where there is more access to information, there are popularizers who misinform in these traditional media.

Always check yourself any information you hear or are curious, so well done, yeah! your case is a good example.

[TelolettOm]

Wow, I'm kind of surprised how a radio broadcast an interview like this. What if ordinary people listen to this and are immediately interested in investing without any knowledge of crypto first? If they had a loss someday wouldn't this allow them to protest for not being up to their expectations?
Maybe it's just my opinion, but it could happen.
Gald to know that you can realize it. Even we shouldn't trust influencers who always make big or interesting news related to crypto investment.

I fear there are many spammers and scammers who are spreading misinformation about bitcoin these days
We need a reliable platform with credibility who can teach regarding bitcoin. it's time that senior members can actually come together for creating such platform for greater good

[xSkylarx]

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

As long as people are not properly educated about what is bitcoin, these fake seminars or investment schemes will not stop. Because bitcoin's price is increasing over the years, they promote it as a get-rich-quick scheme. The government should make atleast basic education about how cryptocurrencies work that should be taught to schools. If it happens, those disinformation will eventually stop and crypto-related scams will decrease.

You don't need any other credible platform to educate people about Bitcoin anymore, because every information one need about Bitcoin is there already on the internet, but just that people are too lazy this days to search for the right information online. In today world everybody want to get rich overnight, and that's why Ponzi scheme are mostly patronize, of which scammers and people who organize these kind of seminars have been able to use that against the ignorant masses who has little or no knowledge about Bitcoin. So my friend, it's not all about creating a new platform to educate members, but every member should always try to search for vital informations online about any site or seminars that you are been introduced to before jumping into it, as this can save your life or prevent you from investing into scam

As smart as a squirrel jumps, one day we will fall too, as well as ourselves, even though we have long entered the crypto world but sometimes we will fall too, the point is we must not be arrogant and we must not feel arrogant, we must always learn From existing experience, we must always be wary of scammers who always give us sweet promises.

[Russlenat]

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.

I do hope people would be more interested in the truth and verify that it's true or not. That kind of station should be somewhat penalized or something.

People continue to be misinformed because there are really these kind of presenters who acted as if they know but the fact is, they really lack the knowledge and good research. And if no one will dare to correct their mistakes, innocent people will continue to rely on wrong information. However, such a brave act OP as you stand for what you think is right. Only by then, people will finally understand that bitcoin is never useless and will create good contribution on each of us if we also learn to adopt it too.

If bitcoin is also not on the side of the government, then there’s no way that the said station will be penalized for that. The presenter alone just based his knowledge on how the government sees it, and it’s not actually the facts that the people deserve to know. This is why a lot of people have been miseducated about bitcoin, because they never research on their own and do self study. Whatever they have heard from people on high positions, they absorbed it without weighing if it’s fact or a big lie.

And the best to happen to us is to learn from our experiences and share them with others. And the forum helps members and guests to understand how the market works and so do these scammers.

Why should arrogant? Those people who carry this attitude won't make themselves happy but have a burden in their lives. It is just the fact that not all are willing to change nor wanted to help, some people wanted others to fall and experience the same with them.

I think it will be difficult to have unity for that now. So you still have to analyze and research every news you read as a whole. Because stopping to immediately believe in any news that you read is a good option to save you from going astray so that you will only believe in yourself based on what you have researched so far from what you have read so that you will never become anxious when you want to do something. So I think.

[Ahli38]

bitcoin has now become a trend in the real world. lots of people talk about it. But unfortunately only a few who really learn it and only a few who really understand the ins and outs of bitcoin. so that many people receive misinformation regarding bitcoin. I even notice people who think that altcoins and bitcoins are the same. though it's clearly different and that's the basic thing. and it turns out that many misunderstandings occur due to a number of people who are not bitcoin experts but he suddenly became a bitcoin influencer with his shallow knowledge of bitcoin and eventually caused misunderstandings for his followers.

I have a suggestion to all of you to protect your family from being misunderstood from the misinformation circulating in the media. whether the information was intentionally spread by an irresponsible party or indeed because of a miscommunication or accidental.

I used to protect my family from misunderstandings by buying some books on basic bitcoin knowledge. and I put it on the family table. At that time I did not tell my family to read. but when they relax they read the book maybe to release boredom. but still the information read will still enter the brain. and add insight to my family. and what's funny is that now one of my brothers knows more about bitcoin than I do. I introduced and my knowledge was even exceeded.

This usually is an organized way of scamming the unsuspecting public who have no primary idea or knowledge about the workings of Bitcoin operation. They use a legal means (radio house) to disseminate their scam which probably makes many persons to accept their offers without a second thought of it been from a scammer corner since it's coming from a recognized  media house.
I remember falling for such seminars where I had to attend about  two different ones not until I came across this forum through an anonymous and now for me the difference is obvious about Bitcoin from what those so-called money-seeking-hunters had explained to me in the past.

I just feel sorry for those who still fall for such....

Well, many unsuspecting newbies have fallen for that scheme until they learn a lesson that Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency and is not a crowdfunding network that needs its owners to attend seminars to build their network. Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are designed for users to be able to own and spend them without another person's involvement in the transaction so why then are all the seminars still existing?
I use to hear some of such adverts in recent times on my local radio frequency and I know it will end in a scam.

It isn't advisable to rely on the opinions and advice of influencers on Youtube simply because they could release false information to deceive their viewers especially if they're advertising or offering a service, project, or product that will benefit them in return. Influencers are just making money regardless of the type of information that they're sharing so we should do our own research instead.

You are not completely right because I think there is some information we can take from their trading knowledge and experience although in the end you will have to do your own research. Not believing 100% is true, but if you don't try to learn from the experiences of others, it's wrong.

You can assume that everything that other people share visually, in writing or otherwise about investing and trading is not good financial advice, but rest assured you can also gain additional knowledge from them especially about new things that you haven't fully heard of and your responsibility is to filter that information properly.

Crypto influencers can sometimes be right or wrong. But the fact that they have gained more knowledge and skills from their different experiences in crypto makes them good influencers in the long run. However, relying in them fully with all our decisions might be risky in the end, that is why aside from their own ideas and opinions, we should also do our own part of research so we can correct if there are mistakes seen from their own shared ideas.

It might work on others but it wont be working for everyone and this is the thing you should have in mind so that you wont really be ending up yourself on being relying into those influencers or any other personality
that you would able to see into this market.It cant really be just that right for you to have those kind of mindset or beliefs. Stick into your own analysis and snip out some parts or ideas from others and try to
make lots of trial and error until you do able to get your own trading style.We do have our own trading styles and decisions that would be made out on the time that we do make trades or investment.
Just dont make yourself that too relying into others analysis since we are just all speculators on this market which means it does have equal chances or odds on hitting the right spot.

These kind of presenters are also lacking of knowledge about Bitcoin, otherwise they have other intention on why they are spreading a misleading information. Thus those people who are listening and also interested about the topic might believe his words not knowing it's not accurate. So yes good thing op did what he can do to correct the presenter and explain.

Yes, sometimes we will get knowledge from them that we did not know before, listening to someone's advice is not too bad as long as we know how to filter the information. The final decision should be made after doing your own research.

We all know youtube influencers get paid to do those things but to do so they also need knowledge and skills, you can't do it if you don't have the knowledge so we can still get some good knowledge from their advice.

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

Maybe they don't fully understand what they're talking about, maybe the station has a program to promote it, sometimes things like this make people afraid to go deeper into the crypto world, because their understanding doesn't match reality, they should invite resource persons who are competent in their field , understand what they are talking about and know the concept of Bitcoin, Platform and p2p, this is much more interesting to follow
