They could only be selling you hope

[Ndabagi01]

Hope is always treacherous, hard working people has used Hope as a leverage to succeed. Hope is treacherous when it comes for free, without hardwork.

Hope works together with hardwork, you can’t just hope and sit back and results come to you. Every dream of making it big comes with the hope first from the person that’s going to act upon it.

Being lazy will only make you feel that hope is enough without hardwork and even if the results do come without the hardwork, you’ll now value the results and you’ll be at risk of losing is back because you won’t be able to maintain it through.

Being hopeful is important but over reliant on it won’t take you anywhere or make you achieve as much as you’ve hoped and dreamed for to achieve. No success story comes without the hardwork part playing a pivotal role in making it happen. So be hopeful and work hard to achieve what you hope for.

There is nothing wrong with being Hopeful, just that the expectations need to be logical and realistic.

Seeing someone promise a huge return while doing nothing - be cautious, you might be getting scammed. Trusting people with your own hard earned money, avoid it.

Bitcoin going up or down, is something that we have been seeing since we started on it. By seeing old charts we can observe how it has been previously. It does not necessarily mean that bitcoin going down is a bad thing. It will surely come back up and then again go down. It is the cycle. The way to tackle this is to buy at the low and then sell at the high.

I really concord to your points here, it is necessary for someone or an investor to be hopeful, but hope without work is totally wrong and unrealistic. Every hardwork is accompanied with the hope of achieving success.
There are scam everywhere and if you want to invest your money, for instance in bitcoin, ensure you use a reputable platform to invest in your bitcoin, you can use a secured wallet or a reputable exchange for your Bitcoin investment, avoid using ads, chats or influencers to start your investment journey.

There is a hype that is currently prevailing in the current world, and that is the FOMO hype. Here, from traders to BLOCK-CHAIN developers, web developers, software developers, etc., various platforms are doing their business through the FOMO effect on people, and to me, this is one kind of HOPE selling.
In some cases, platforms also make mistakes. In their marketing, they attract people with false information or exaggerated offers, but in reality, people do not benefit at all.
However, what happens in most cases is that ordinary people think about these things in a slightly unrealistic way. For example, if someone talks about trading, they imagine that they will become a millionaire within a year. Having such irrational and unrealistic thoughts definitely does not lead to success.

I understand what you're saying, in conclusion putting hope in something is natural but putting hope and executing without knowledge is a disaster, that's the point.
This means that not all poor people do things without knowledge, basically they may have researched from various references before finally making a decision, you can't infer someone's personality just by looking at their financial background, but yes I also understand that there are always some who treat trading as a place to try their luck, almost the same way as how gambling is treated.

Imagine a life without hope. Where will we be?

Hope also made people change. They cling to hope because they want some change in their life and I think cryptocurrencies contributed a great deal to make people hope for a good life. I do agree that hope needs hard work, some just relied with hope and use gambling as a means to materialize them. But some really worked hard, risked a higher amount of money, so they could get a better life. It will just depend on the person who is trying to make a change in their life.

[Royal Cap]

For me it's not hope but unrealistic expectations that are the problem. If a person believes that life will change overnight, then disappointment is assured. But if hope is helping him to learn then try and be patient, then that's progress, I would rather say that when you have hope and hard work, that is strength. Hard work alone exhausts men and hope alone confounds women. The two together, the path is a little more clear.

[Joy_learns_crypto]

I would rather say that when you have hope and hard work, that is strength. Hard work alone exhausts men and hope alone confounds women. The two together, the path is a little more clear.

That is what I have said, hope has to work with hard work, hope without hard work is treacherous, so what do you mean you would rather say the same thing I actually said, you are explaining what is on the thread.
It is like you are trying to make your post count up.
Also there are unrealistic expectations that are people find hope in that is the bad hope.

[bangjoe]

It depends on whether the expectations are realistic or not, that is the problem, most poor people have excessive hopes which makes them easily deceived by people who sell those hopes, optimism is a good thing in investing but if it is not tempered with common sense it is also like gambling, yes they are just gambling and hoping to get bigger, the practice is the same as those of the sword traders.


Therefore, literacy is very important, from there we will find out where we have good opportunities and think critically about the investment instruments on offer. In a world that is all instantaneous like now, it is not difficult to find out what it is.

Anything built on hope is a two way thing. Those trading or investing in BTC falls in this category. The BTC market is a speculative one. We only hope and wish that you wakeup tomorrow morning and the price has gone up. Having knowledge of what you are doing or want to do is added advantage to the person. So yes they are only selling hope to  us

Everything is speculation before you fall asleep some facts you can prove yourself to assess an asset therefore do not eat too much wild speculation out there without the source can be verified, predictions are speculation therefore do not look at it so as not to get caught up in uncertain expectations, but the bitcoin cycle is not speculation, we have witnessed it together many times bitcoin proves itself in printing its ATH every 4 years bitcoin a year after Halving, so you have to be careful with expectations that are not disciplined.

[Cheema02]

Hope is the cheapest thing a man who is poor can buy for a comfortable living.
Hope is cheap and if the hope is realistic it will sell out fast.

Both the poor and the rich go into whatever they desire to go into with the hope that in the future, they stand to benefit from it. if you don't have hope in whatever you are investing in, why then should you invest in it? The emphases is that while hoping for a better future in what you are doing, it should be a calculated one such that you are aware of the risk involved in it and have a sense of certainty that it is not for vanities sake that you are hoping on something. if all factors are being put into consideration you have to keep your hope alive for you to have a successful investment in the first place.

Your point highlights the worth of hope and its true that in every type of survival hope must play an important role of success and also in financial survival it act as healer for many. Through hope man remains motivated and its not matter are you poor and rich because your investment or efforts have the chance of benefit in future and you expect the profit from investment in future. But in reality only hope don't do everything along with proper planning, knowledge and risk assessments is also a basic need. So with a calculated hope we make better descions and so we avoid blind risk. Therefore when we facing challenges then hope act as initiative rather than illusion. So along with hope if we utilizes our knowledge then the hope developed more chances of development.

Hope is not the actual culprit here, greed is. Why do you think people invest money in other cryptocurrencies, apart from the top ones leading the charge? They do it because they believe that those cryptocurrencies have the potential to get them amazing returns within a shorter period because they have realized that Bitcoin or other top cryptocurrencies will only make them gradual profits and they don't want that.

I would also want to clear that this thing is not always told to them by others, but some people just read around the internet about meme coins making people rich over night, they often see people talking about their success stories after investing in newly launched meme coins and shit coins, so they decide that if others can achieve something like that, why can't they? And then they ignore proper cryptocurrencies and go with the trash.

[Jewan420]

We should also be wise in our expectations and create realistic and profitable expectations. There is no obligation to have expectations, whether realistic or unrealistic, even profitable or harmful. But people have a habit of creating tempting and harmful expectations. We tend to have expectations that are never realistic, but can lead you astray and expose you to huge losses.

The greed for quick money among both the rich and the poor is forcing them to make bad decisions in cryptocurrencies. Despite the existence of long-term safe assets like Bitcoin, many people trade in shitcoins or memecoins because of the temptation to make quick money. But we already know that these coins will fail us 99 times, yet we keep hoping

Excessively high expectations usually lead to even greater desires and this can be problematic when someone doesn't understand the fundamentals of what they're fighting for. When it comes to Bitcoin, what drives someone to participate in it and in my opinion, isn't just about profit, but how the investment can achieve long-term growth. Bitcoin cycles have been well-tested throughout their history and have become an important part of Bitcoin's journey in the market, even though the speculation that arises sometimes doesn't align with expectations. Limit overly high expectations and create policies on how to engage with this asset so we can see future growth. I think this is much better than being busy following predictions and speculation like now which is uncertain and can lead us to weaken our intention to continue investing..

[crwth]

I don't think a poor person would have known about BTC or Altcoins. No one would be really poor if they were aware of it. Maybe the lower middle class is the one you are talking about?

Imagine you see something like a lottery, the chance of winning $1 million, and a person who has a mindset of hoping, they see it as a chance to change their lives. It gives off the lottery mindset type of thing that they tend to see the prize and not think about the probability of them actually winning.

You really want to regulate your social media use because there are a lot of posts that give that hope-selling thing, and it is being pushed in altcoins.

And then they ignore proper cryptocurrencies and go with the trash.

Another reason for investing in other currencies is trust and belief as well as greed as well as imitation. People want to compare other crypto currencies with Bitcoin. They think that Bitcoin has increased its value as much as other currencies can increase their value as much as Bitcoin. In this case, if someone invests in other crypto currencies as such, then we can call it imitation. Again, many people think that the price of Bitcoin has reached its highest level and now investing there will not be much profit, that is, they want to profit 100000x from their investment. They think that Bitcoin is currently very wrongly valued and cannot profit that much from it, so they invest in other crypto currencies and this is greed.

The poor will not see the important to see the coins, stocks, or shares. They only cares how to buy food and makes it their primary things they must get it. They have a hope to still buy food tomorrow so they will still works whether if that is difficult.

They have a hope which makes them knowing that without doing something, they will not get they want. Hope encourage them to do many things and they believe that someday, they can achieve their goals. Hope makes their spirit arise and not stops doing something.

Hope can trick us but hope always gives us the will to try. If they have a hope, they will motivating themselves not to stops before they can achieve it. That makes them awake and still trying and believe that they will get it.

[el kaka22]

There is definitely nothing wrong with hope, as long as you are not buying into unrealistic potential. For example if we talk about the 60k something price of bitcoin, sure if a poor person gets that, you are not going to see them be rich overnight. In fact, if you buy it once and never buy again, there is a limit on how much you can make, so that "hope" is unrealistic if you think you can get wealthy.

But what you can do however is the fact that we are going to end up with something that will change for the long term, which would not be all that complicated since we are talking about getting some all the time and then selling it when you retire, that "hope" is fine and won't be really a bad thing for any of us.

Hope is always treacherous, hard working people has used Hope as a leverage to succeed. Hope is treacherous when it comes for free, without hardwork.

The poor thinks differently no doubts due to the fact that they ought to fend for themselves and family so bringing in any other opinion other than something that fetches them money quickly would be put away . Mostly they don't put hope in Bitcoin cause they can't afford it, but like you mentioned when you tie hope to certain opportunity you'll see the difference on how they'll tend to grab such opportunity.

We can't control what people think about the market (speculation) but we can control how we react towards those speculations and how they actually affectt us and our decisions. Nothing about Bitcoin is certain, due to its volatile nature. Even the bitcoin cycle and some other historical facts about Bitcoin are allowed to change overtime, we just can't tell. Which is why it's crucial to always focus on Bitcoin's long term trajectory, at least that's how i manage to navigate through the wild speculations that surrounds bitcoin and avoid letting it influence me or my attitude towards bitcoin.

Heh, thats good marketing indeed. Hope can force people to do a lot of things they never dreamed of. By using that hope a lot of bad actors get their jobs done as well, leaving that hopeful person in a dump. However bitcoin is not like that and it will always be going upwards and hence being hopeful about it is not wrong. Buy it at the lower price whenever you get the opportunity and do not listen what other people have to say about it.

The wrong thing people end up doing is not buy at the low and regretting the price at the top.

[bubilas]

Hope is the cheapest thing a man who is poor can buy for a comfortable living.
Hope is cheap and if the hope is realistic it will sell out fast.

Bitcoin is $68k selling a poor man hope with bitcoin is not realistic, but selling those nickel coins wrapping it with realistic hope to the poor could get them to buy.

Many of The poor don’t see the implications of buying paltry sum coins, stocks or shares they see the hope that they are being sold.

Scam starts with the scammer selling hope to the victim, bad investment were made by investors whose feets were swept off by hope.

Hope is always treacherous, hard working people has used Hope as a leverage to succeed. Hope is treacherous when it comes for free, without hardwork.

If a novice cryptocurrency investor does not listen to all kinds of influencers in trading, then he will form his own opinion about the further rise in the price of bitcoin. And if he buys on the high, then, of course, he will also sell on the low.
And it will be a loser trader and his hopes will be very ridiculous on the part of experienced traders. It's dangerous and difficult in this world, but the rules must be followed strictly. You just need to follow those old laws laid down by the first traders: do not have false hopes and have patience.
