Why are people not learning but asking people to help them invest in bitcoin

[JunaidAzizi]

Yup, they can, but you know the lack of decision making capability does not allow them to do so. Investing in Bitcoin is not easy, especially when you are new, you must have someone behind you who can motivate you and give you strength when you are feeling weak. But those scammers take the opportunity, they provide everything, and when the final stage comes, they steal the money and disappear. So it would be best to take advice from many people, but do what comes to your mind, at least there will be no regret about stealing money.

I won't blame people for wanting to always take the easy route out of their financial situations, that's why there is so much rise in gambling activities and of course this case of trusting brokers blindly because we think the knowledge of Bitcoin investment is rocket science of which it is not.

In truth, it might be harder for someone who isn't tech savvy to invest in Bitcoin because it is mostly more of online activities and actionable input, the old may find it difficult but the younger generations may find it quite easier because of prevalence of freelance jobs and online social media platforms that help earning passively, possible.

Christopher Delgado, once the public face of Goliath Ventures — an alleged cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme federal investigators say took in more than $300 million from investors — is speaking publicly for the first time as he faces federal charges.

Former Goliath Ventures CEO speaks out as feds probe alleged $300 million crypto ponzi scheme

It was alledged by the federal government, but it is no more an allegation because Christopher Delgado has said it is true. He was using people's money to pay other people which is exactly what ponzi scheme is.

But why are people like this? Instead of making research and invest in bitcoin, they did not. This will not be the last. If federal government did not do the investigation, nothing would have been known.

Bitcoin is responsibility on the buyer, too much things to be bothered with in today's world, people don't want to take that responsibility, they would rather give it to someone and blame them later, e.g custodial services or crypto exchanges.

Some people don't want to lose the money they want to invest, to push the button themselves is scary, so they find a friend who is already into crypto, asking him to do the whole purchase for them and keep, I hate this idea to the core.

It's always people who don't want to take blame if anything happens later who do this, as for Ponzi schemes investment people like it, even if it's clear that it's a Ponzi they will still do it, doing nothing and making money is people's favourite way of making money.

This is why Ponzi schemes are always coming, because people are still joining them.

At times our perspective of getting into something matters. for example most people get into bitcoin activities with a primary objective of making money and not for once consider acquiring bitcoin knowledge. At this point, this same people will only be interested in investments that will generate profits in the future and can not be involved in learning the working principles of this same bitcoin they intends making profit from in the future except something unexpected happens to them on a long run.

Right on point bro. Allot of us just want a quick money. But won’t want to know or ask about how Bitcoin works.
This we’re Ponzi schemes come in and deceive allot of users, Ponzi schemes like Goliath caches alllot of people.

Personally I would say if u can’t put a friend down and explain for him how Bitcoin as a whole works at for a good 5 to 10 min, i would say u aren’t ready yet to invest. Learning about Bitcoin should be a first step to take, how does wallet works, keeping your key safe to urself in other to avoid being scammed and lot more.
I always take this seriously DYOR it really helps in losing things to people like Delgado.

Because people usually look at the reputation and if they know the guy is famous, they immediately say that he's trusted and will never scam them.

That's why bad situation happen to most of those people invest on this ponzi schemes, since they missed the most important part of investment which is to do deep research about those investments they are joining that's why they lose their money and fall from fake promises offered by scammers to them.

If people just do their own diligence to research the whole scheme and background of those investment programs, maybe there's less chance for them to fall from scams.

But unfortunately this is not happening since that researching always comes late once exit scam has been pulled.

I have strong belief that majority of this people know what they are doing. I don’t  know how exactly  Golliath ventures market their investment platform but the catch must have really been a good one that won't  allow them  to wait the number of years an investor  will normally have to when they invest on Bitcoin directly  . Turns out the shortcut is a path to loss instead of profit for the late arrivals since it's  a ponzi.

There are still more investment  platforms running this schemes and they will continue  to get investors so far people  want the easy and faster  way to make money, even when they don’t understand the whole margic behind it.

Some people are looking for who to trust, who to blame for their failures. They don't want to take responsibility and they don't want to control their investments. They want something completely passive. I have had people like this who wants to invest in bitcoin through me, but I had always told them that it is not what bitcoin represents. Bitcoin teaches self custody and not to trust people.

Another factor is time. Some people has money but actually doesn't have the time to manage it. So, they are quick to throw money into kind of investment even if they have poor knowledge about it.

These Ponzi schemes have a way of getting to their vulnerable victims. Usually, the targets are ignorant people who are yet to understand how crypto or Bitcoin works. Ponzi schemes like Goliath Ventures make these people believe that since they are now in safe hands, there is no need for further personal research because everything will be handled for them.

People love convenience, and coupled with the few positive reviews they might have gotten from people who were fraudulently paid by Goliath Ventures, these vulnerable customers will believe and trust them.

Entities like Goliath Ventures make crypto look bad in the eyes of people. I am glad they are now exposed so people can learn that no form of Ponzi scheme is genuine. In fact, once anyone agrees to help you invest in Bitcoin instead of teaching you how to do it yourself, know that it is a red flag.

The long process? Time?

We can list out so many outstanding reasons, but they won't justify any thing. They have one simple confuse about investment, and that's guaranteed returns.

When they struggle a little and can't seem to be making profits from their self investment, they will be lured to take the next necessary actions. Even if that means they have to be inside the palms of the predator.

Like some said already, it won't end here, not first, not last, I do hope the average investor do learn for these stories, but they don't.

Bitcoin is a relatively new entity, and most people have never encountered a real scam or learned from others' experiences. It's not just about Bitcoin, and you don't have to study Bitcoin to recognize this kind of scam. I think "there's no such thing as a free lunch" is an old adage that people often overlook.
