Don't buy dreams sold to you!

[Chinesebaby]

I made this post below in a thread in my local board and I thought I should share it here and also give my two cent opinion to others.

My advice to anyone will simply, avoid or do not buy dreams.

If dreams of cryptocurrency of any kind is sold to you do not buy to it.

This above is from my experience, all scams are always tied to selling of dreams, some people call it too good to be true ideas or dreams.

First way to avoid getting scammed is to be Skeptical about everything, and unsolicited private messages or DMs should be treated with Skepticism hence if otherwise any dreams sold to you by anyone should not be bought, don't hesitate to leave such conversations that have too much of promise of returns to you.

I hope this helps someone today.

And in addition to what you just said above, having a concrete knowledge about whatever field you want to venture into is another way of avoiding being a victim of buying into fake dreams, such as when you see people claiming to offer "sure betting odds" and "Sure investments" whereby if you invest a certain amount of money, you stand a chance of getting either 2x or 3x of invested capital within a certain period of time.

Just be mindful and always stick to bitcoin. Don’t chase what others are chasing, they actually don’t know what they’re doing about. Stay away with the hypes, hypes are just made to attract and deceive people. Just focus on bitcoin, no matter how slow its progress may be but rest assured you are going on a positive goal and outcome.

Bitcoin is not slow in giving you good profit. In September last year price of Bitcoin was around 55k$ and in almost a year it's value is doubled. We need need to buy Bitcoin and then patiently wait for it's price to go up. People usually buy Shit coins with mindset that they are very cheap in value and will go up in price like Bitcoin i.e. less investment more profit. But that never happens, with few exceptions almost all shit coins have given loss to investors. Never go for shit coins, only buy Bitcoin

Considering all of this things you said here yet people can't stop making this mistake, simply because they think that they can accidentally touch the right one that will get hype just as it has been happening to some other shitcoins out there that later get dumped after hype must have taken place. I just realized that most people failed to understand that whatever business/ Investment that will bring 100x profit within a short period means that the risk that is applied in that business/ Investment is equivalent to that 100x profit you're getting if not more than the profit, while Long term investment helps to minimize risk and also bring more bigger profit than short term investment as you will allow it to compound or get matured Before attempting to sell.

I love this your advice is a very good one and I believe it will help a lot of people even me, the reason why a lot of people get scammed is because they buy the dreams that they sold to them, whenever you are giving or told about a particular crypto venture or idea you should be very careful so as not to get scammed.
A lot of newbies have face scam issue especially because they don't have this knowledge, there was a thread I saw that someone talked about someone PM him or her in this forum and trying to introduce an investment to him or her.
As a newbie when you see some message that tells you that there is an opportunity to upgrade your source of income to a very huge amount just know that you need to be very careful especially when it involves online investment if possible don't even reply there message so you won't be tempted to go and invest because the more you listen to them the more tempted they will become to invest because they usually have sweet way of saying things and making them look real.

The dream of getting rich quick can lead majority of newbies to fall for scammers. Especially, when they are lazy and want to reap from where they did not sow. Imagine a newbie who wants to make money from trading, because he feels that's so easy to make money from trading can fall to a scammer who will claim to be a trader. The scammer will ask them to deposit some funds into an exchange account and gradually collecting more money from them until, they will realize that's a scam when they ask for withdrawal. Don't believe anything to be true on the internet.

Often, beginners are easily swayed by dreams offered by scammers, promising greater profits with little capital. While the crypto world isn't that easy, it's certainly not wrong to dream, but we must also be realistic. If something seems out of place, such as a certain amount of capital, you can become rich in a few days or months, this is certainly a scam, and victims of such dreams often fall prey to those who are still beginners and are greedy.

I mean, not all dreams are bad. We invest in Bitcoin because we dream of creating financial freedom in the future. It's just that this dream makes sense because Bitcoin is an asset with fundamentals and a limited supply. Achieving this dream also requires patience and perseverance to hold it for the long term.

The moment that you have started buying bitcoin, you have given financial freedom to yourself, it's not compulsory that it must ne in the future because you can use your bitcoin to make payment across borders without an interim or excess charge from anyone currently. Just your transaction fee will do it for as low as $0.16 for high priority as I am typing this message. Bitcoin is a store of value overtime and a hedge against inflation which is the main reason why one should adopt it and forget about short-term profits.

As long as it's too good to be true, then you should pass or ignore it. There's nothing free in this world, if you knew the process then it'll become more obvious that's not legit and that's why it's really important to have a general knowledge about crypto because if you knew how things work, you'll knew it's not really easy, those offers are just noise in this space. Let's not forget that there will be always people that really wants to take advantage of us and that's the reason some people are having a fast pace in success because of using other people. Well it's not considered as success if you didn't really grow because of it, you've just did a wrong way to step up. So as long as those are too good to be true then ignore them, those are just bunch of scams.

Bitcoin is the ultimate; we know that, and it’s the safest for investment. But our love for Bitcoin and trust in it should not blind us from giving a chance to other good projects out there. I know it’s risky, but not all are entirely a bad thing. We should not follow hype; we should always make personal research before investing in anything. But if you cloud your mind with “it’s either Bitcoin or nothing,” then you will always fail to see something else being good for investment.

If it's about buying cryptocurreny then it's better if you buy in an exchange rather than from other person like p2p. Even in person like your friend could also get you in trouble especially if the bitcoin sold is  stolen. For buying new projects is a risky investment since the project isn't 100% successful in the future. If anyone aren't aware many new projects are failing and only very few are successful after their launching of their projects.

Anyone who wants to buy bitcoin can either go through the exchange or they can pass through other routes, whicheverwill become easier for them. If you are talking about stolen bitcoin, we should avoid linking our real identity to it, as if it's being tracked, you, the buyer, will also get to be affected by that too. For security reasons, I just prefer to either pass KYC and buy and sell directly myself using my own data, and I know the source of fund.

Exchange market is the major place where long term and short term investors buy bitcoin and hold for income purposes, those that are accumulating bitcoin every week or month know the important of buying bitcoin from any route because they believe in bitcoin than any other cryptocurrencies in the market, despite there are some scammers in the market acting as if they are selling bitcoin to buyers, and there are still some buyers that will identify them in the market because they act in a way the market will not favour the buyers by not releasing the amount of bitcoin they agreed for, which i know you can report such scammers to the exchange customer Care to handle the case immediately.

Better they should detach the idea about buying Bitcoin to someone if they really want to invest on Bitcoin, because as we all know this is so risky action to do. Its so risky to deal with people personally or even on random dude online since we don't know what's running around in their minds.

So to make sure that we are safe and there's no string attached on other people. We better buy our Bitcoins on legitimate exchange, its not hard to do this since there are lots of platforms accept fiats or cards.

We better choose the easiest and safest option that we could get on rather than trying to go with risky people because they say that they can offer huge discount to us if we buy some Bitcoins to them.

I'm sorry to say that the same love you have for altcoins can bury your years profit on your investment. Some people have made the mistake of moving from one project to another trying to explore profits to profits but it never ends well. Some people made alot of money from Bitcoin but because Bitcoin at some points stop moving, they sold Bitcoin and put everything back into altcoins, instead of the alts to appreciate they crash and went down to zero.

Some people have invested half of their money to Bitcoin and the other half to altcoins but the growth of Bitcoin has exceeded the growth of altcoins they brought. All this is because they are not stable. An altcoin can grow with 10k% today and dump by a negative of 99% the next couple of months and this is why I don't blame people that don't hold them for long, they call them all sort of names like onchain prostitute and all that but their profit on investment comes before any team opinion.

You don’t need to be sorry; I understand the point you are making. I have also personally seen someone who lost a lot in investing in altcoins; it’s not even something I can argue against. My own point is that we still have good projects out there which some can invest in. Not that I’m advising anyone to invest in any particular altcoin, neither will I stop anyone from doing their own personal research and taking their investment decisions themselves. Personally, I’m not a fan of holding altcoins for long, nor am I a fan of investing too much in a particular asset. I consider safety very important when it comes to investing.

If it is a dream of getting rich, improving your finance and wealth with Bitcoin, also called as Bitcoin dream, why not?

There is an economist from Belarus (quite smart, he gives a lot of serious analytical commentary in various media) who still considers Bitcoin to be the kind of dream that someone is trying to sell. He says that perhaps there is some technology behind Bitcoin, but he won't even study it, because what he notices first of all is that from Bitcoin holders you always hear: "Buy Bitcoin". When this trail of money-squeezing stops following Bitcoin, then it will be possible to take a closer look at it.

This approach is quite interesting. We don't talk so much about should be after bitcoin and what bitcoin may be a start of something bigger. But this approach also let me think about maybe a bubble, not surely a start for anything bigger.

I think it depends on what someone is trying to do. If someone is only into long-term investments and isn't looking for short-term profits or gains, they should better stick with Bitcoin because its simply the best, but if they are also looking for short-term trades and gain some profits in the short run, they should probably look for other alternatives because altcoins tend to be better in terms of growth than Bitcoin in the short run. So if it's for short-term, altcoins should be explored, only the good ones of course, and if it's for the long run, Bitcoin should be the one.

Also, if someone thinks that they aren't very experienced with the market yet and don't want to get into any sort of trouble by investing in altcoins, it is also better for them to stick to Bitcoin and only invest and hold, and with time, when they start learning more about the market and get a better hold on everything, then they can start considering buying or trading other cryptocurrencies, only if they believe they are good.

It's really important to be skeptical with informations that concerns finance or cryptocurrency because the chances of getting ripped off your money is very slim when you mess around with your security. We should be very vigilant and our minds opened to learn  about cryptocurrency and it's security. There is a saying that not your key not your coin so we shouldn't even mistake an exchange for a bitcoin long term holding wallet, a lot of newbies make this mistake and it's unhealthy financially, because exchanges may ban or restrict your account when something suspicious happens in your account maybe not from you but an attack.

[Samlucky O]

Surely we are in a world that everyone wants to become rich by all means and they can do funny or silly things to get this money to themselves including scamming attempt of making things look too real to be true. We should really be careful when some offers are given to us because at first it always looks nice and good, but if you examine yourself you will discover that it is fake especially when it look too good to be true. We just really need to be careful.

You are right. Shitcoins always hurts investors. Those who want to enter the crypto market out of greed are not very knowledgeable about digital currencies. Most of them buy shitcoins in the hope of making a big profit in a short period of time. Later, their assets get stuck in the crypto market or have to be sold at a loss. Newcomers to the crypto space should start saving by gaining basic knowledge about Bitcoin. Bitcoin can give you satisfactory returns in the future.

I agree with you, people are very easily trapped when lured by a path to profi,t or wealth. So, there are many people are easily trapped by their dreams. Well, I see it as a "Shiny Trap", where the trap looks very shiny to people eyes, or perceives it like a sparkling gem, so their eyes are drawn to it, and try to grab it, even though it is actually a trap. Therefore, I often remind people, especially newbies, not to easily believe anything, must be very skeptical, and diligently verify the truth. In essence, we must be careful with everything, and be vigilant in every action we will take, especially in the internet world.

[POPOLUV]

Most times, people fall into the hands of scam because they are too greedy and want more from little and most times it’s the newbies that fall more for these scams and I wouldn’t have to totally blame them for this.
I totally agree with op never to buy others dreams especially when it has to do with cryptocurrency because we might just end up messing things up even worst than we could ever imagine.
I think I’ve always said it previously that, everything online should be handled with extra caution especially when it has to do with money, don’t even trust anyone, please do all the findings and verifications you ought to and don’t even be in a hast to conclude without a thorough investigation and evidence.

I totally understand and agree with you that most people fail in the hands of scammers because greedy to have more, and it is easily to convince a newbie that doesn't have ideas that buying a dream from anyone is not good because he might end up in the hands of scammers in the process, so i will advise to all those that has not come across this thread should be very of scammers out there and i really appreciate the OP for finding it deem to create this particular thread for the benefit of those that has not come across such experience,  so that that can avoid being scammed.

After reading your post and the OP's post reminded me of another thing. That is, the business of selling courses has become very popular in our country. It is like selling dreams, that is they show in their advertisements or promotional videos that those who have bought their courses are earning thousands of dollars a month. And people buy their courses after seeing those attractive advertisements, that is they buy dreams. And at the end of the day, they get disappointed and when they catch up, they become victims of scams. And what they teach in those courses cannot actually earn thousands of dollars a month.They teach the basics.

Similarly, in crypto, I think many Telegram channels or social media give various advertisements that if you join our channel, you will get signals. But even if you make some profit at first, at the end of the day, you will have to face losses.
