Well guess what dude — Bitcointalk is just as unsafe as most community platforms on the world wide web. Same with other social platforms, you just need to ignore(or better yet, report) the spam/scams and focus on the good topics/conversations.

Welcome to the forum and yes bitcoin is indeed a wonderful initiative but its still used and abused by some people out there as loop hole to so many cyber related crimes as it is known that in nature anything that has good sides also has bad sides so i would advise to be very cautious even here in the forum some folks are just to lurking around to scam other but the forum will guide you in advices on the do's and don't that are involved in the crypto space.
For example
~it not safe for one to store there coins in exchange platform
~always keep your coins in an offline wallet
~always report any suspicious pm from any member in the forum  so many more just be willing you are here to learn and ask questions about things you don't know.

With Bitcoin, people are able to make genuine living. This has helped in reducing the rate of crimes and frauds in Africa, especially amongst the teaming and unemployed Youths.

The arrival of bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large has created job opportunities for some people but the rates of crimes hasn’t reduced the way you put it. In fact there are people who hide behind bitcoin to scam people or either hack wallets.

In Africa, bitcoin has help its investors to save their funds without fear of inflation and also to transfer money through the continent without undergoing the rigorous processes of banks.

Welcome to The forum, hope you do enjoy your stay here. Consider moving this thread as suggested above to a more appropriate board. I could report it, but I prefer newer members going about the process themselves than just discovering their thread has been moved and not understanding why.

The forum does not have an inbuilt scam regulation system for this exact reason; you are not safe here on the forum or anywhere on the internet.

I doubt Bitcoin has had any significant effect on the rate of crimea or fraud in Nigeria. It's a great technology, but it has limits to its effects.

Well hope you find this place informative enough for your btc journey. There are different boards with lots of info to help you get started.
Btc is an interesting tech which everyone deserves to know about, you should count yourself among the lucky ones to have come to know btc this early. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you’ll have a good time here to learn and broaden your knowledge on bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large.

It's also worth noting that the crimes and criminal activities associated with bitcoin have existed for a long time before bitcoin itself. They could be using it as a shield to conceal their criminal activity, but bitcoin has nothing to do with it and does not encourage it in any way. This is one of the reasons it has yet to be accepted as legal tender throughout the world. I hope the bitcoin jinx is broken soon and bitcoin becomes widely accepted.

Indeed this platform opened new opportunities for both investors and non-investors of cryptocurrency. This is also where most of the users here learned more about this technology and ways of being aware of the advantages such as with profit making and transactions. Topics having different concerns and to how users share their opinions about it.

Everything which is open to masses would be 'dangerous'. Not all informations you would read, will be based on facts especially if it is opinionated. As you learn new things you'd be able to identify which information should you keep and use , as well as info you should disregard. That is a part of learning process I think.

Bitcoin is a game changer as well as this bitcointalk forum is a life changer. As long as you abide with the rules and avoid the dont’s, you’ll have a great time in the forum. However, just like any platform, banning is very possible here so be as knowledgeable as you can be so you will never be a target of spamming that will eventually lead to banning you from the forum.

Welcome to the forum. But ensure you guide your curiosity with discretion and willingness to learn. The information in this forum is boundless because you can learn about almost everything about Bitcoin in this forum. It is possible to make genuine income from Bitcoin dealings but it is better not to see the sector as a full time job. This is because the sector is ever dynamic and unpredictable. Get a job and see this sector as a side hustle.

It is also important to state that this forum promotes integrity but cannot guarantee that every member upholds that priceless virtue. That is why you must verify and confirm every information your get from the forum before application. My advice to newbies is that they read more, asked questions and write less for now until they have learned enough.

This might be true.... but you know what, there are so much activity on this forum ..that it is becoming very difficult to escape the investigative eyes of the Bitcoin enthusiasts on this platform.

How many people come to this forum to try and scam people.... and the "community" Police jump onto those threads to expose them. This is not always the case with other platforms with less activity, because it sometimes takes weeks on less active forums for people to react.

I am fine by the infinite mercy of God. Best wishes and congratulations to you for landing on the Bitcoin Forum. Hope you continue to work diligently on the Bitcoin Forum. Never damage the forum by involving yourself in scams.

People are making their living working on bitcoin forums. You too continue to strive and make a living from here. There are many unemployed youths who land on this bitcoin forum and are making their living from there and reducing the unemployment rate.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Be careful even here. Not all here would be honest enough not to trick you. Anything related to bitcoin especially transaction must be handle with extra cautious even though this is also a place to conduct transaction only to those of who has good reputation and not deal with any newbies or if there is just vouch for it first. Learn here and youll see that many have been scammed as well.

[ethereumhunter]

Bitcoin can indeed provide opportunities for people to make a living, but they have to try hard because now many people know this bitcoin's potential. But in this forum, many scams also occur, similar to fraud in real life.

The most important thing is how you can get various useful information to start trying to earn money from crypto. But bitcoin is not a short-term game changer but true bitcoin is a blessing for this generation.

If I may know, what is the most memorable thing when you have learned a lot from a few hours of browsing the forum, especially related to posts about Bitcoin that you encounter. I myself am still learning all things related to Bitcoin so don't be surprised if my posts are irregular.

It's great if the benefits of Bitcoin can be felt in real terms by people.
As we all try to understand how Satoshi came up with a very useful idea, the opposing side also does not stop thinking about how to prevent Bitcoin from becoming a success in the world economic system. One of them is by developing negative issues.

One message from us. Put forward the positive value and leave the negative.
Welcome to the forum, my friend. We are all brothers and sisters from different parts of the world.

If you say curiosity brought with here, then your curiosity has brought you to the right place and that's a good motive for joining already unlike some others who are attracted to this forum for other reasons.

With Bitcoin, people are able to make genuine living.

I have read this so many times and still cannot really wrap my head around what you mean by with bitcoins people are able to make a genuine living. It sounds like something that can be misinterpreted by beginners to mean that bitcoin is a get-rich quick scheme and that depending on bitcoin alone without having any other plans is okay. It is not so.

If you've gone through so many discussions on this forum you find out that the general advice is also that you should not completely depend on bitcoins and investments in cryptocurrency for your livelihood. So how do people make a living from bitcoin? are they really HODLing?

To correct you OP, I will say that bitcoin has offered hope for people in Africa to get out of poverty through purposeful and smart investments in it, not just an avenue to make a living like you suggest.

[Adbitco]
