Hacks fit just happen but scam nor dey just happen without d victim's cooperation. Most people wey dey fall for dat type of sweet mouth, na dem greed dey push dem. Awa people supposed borrow brain know sey any business wey dey promise dem a specific amount as daily return na ponzi. Na just to make u commit dat capital and dem go John Benson wit d money. But greed dey blind people from seeing road.

If person hear “guaranteed daily returns” for investment, alarm suppose ring immediately.

If u hold dat conviction tightly, e go hard make anybodi use u for Ponzi. Keep am up.

Before putting money anywhere, make we learn to ask questions and do proper research because greed fit blind person from seeing obvious danger signs.

Sometimes, asking questions and research sef nor dey help; especially wen those we dey ask nor sabi wetin dey sup or dem be a part of dat scheme. Na personal discernment dey save a lot of us. If only we go dey always look inwards before we take decisions, e get why.

Make I add dis last wan – anytime wey u dey make inquiries considering investment and somebodi dey hurry u up, nor go ahead with am again. Run!

There are many types of scams happening through Bitcoin, it cannot be denied. However, some bad fraudsters are responsible for this. But the victims of this scam are mainly poor people. Because since they are in need, their needs are not met. So they always want to get rich very quickly.

That is why even after seeing the trap of such fraud, they often invest their hard earned money without realizing it, and later suffer losses. There is also a lack of awareness and lack of education. It is not useful to blame only the fraudsters. The person who gives the money should also make some judgment and invest in any sector.

Once you have the mindset that you can make easy cash through easy means then you become an easy target for scammers online and your quest to get easy money actually cloud your judgement to the extent that you forget that there is no such thing as easy money. This particular period is even worse as there are lots of tools and apps that can make all these scams seems so realistic that you can hardly detects if they are fake. one of the easiest scams that scammers use is the investment schemes that they promise victim so much and in their greed they are blinded by the fake reality.

You are absolutely right, now scammers have come up with many new ways. They cheat in innovative ways where it becomes very difficult for common people to catch them. And now they are giving new and attractive offers. They even show advertisements in different ways and sometimes even showing fake screenshots . And when someone makes an emotional decision due to greed, they do not even have the knowledge to judge which is a scam and which is reality. Therefore, beginners should refrain from investing or spending money on such tempting offers and anything that does not seem logical. These should be avoided completely.

You talk am well. Scammers no just wake up collect person money by force, most times na greed and quick-profit mindset dey open door for them. If person hear “guaranteed daily returns” for investment, alarm suppose ring immediately. Ponzi schemes dey survive because dem know say many people want shortcut to success. Before putting money anywhere, make we learn to ask questions and do proper research because greed fit blind person from seeing obvious danger signs.

Exactly. Na greed and desperation dey make many people fall victim easily. Once person hear things like double your money in few days or guaranteed profit without risk, that alone suppose make person calm down think twice. Real investment nor dey promise easy money every time, especially for this crypto space wey volatility too much.
Scammers understand human psychology well, dem know say many people dey always chase quick success without patience. Na why dem go package things look attractive with fake testimonies and pressure people to invest fast. If person no calm down reason am properly, greed fit block common sense instantly.

okay I understand you now. Before I was trying to understand what you mean by a scam won’t happen without the victim’s knowledge but still could not digest it properly until when I read the lines properly I now understood that what you are to is unless it is a hack, that it will difficult for somebody to just scam you like that without you having an idea of the scam either by the person luring you into pressing a particular link or otherwise. I agree with you to a large extent because I don see many occasions wey them scam person because of them greed. Because them don use one offer block him eye finish him con they think say him go become rich not knowing it is a trick on him and na that kind of scam even they plenty pass.

You nor need to prove anything to people about Bitcoin before dem listen to you and start investing, Bitcoin nar the sure investment, everyone has their own mindset about bitcoin, nar becos of wetin him do experience na him make am dey talk like that also him like quick money, that to your friend nor fit invest for bitcoin because him nor dey patient at all dem nor dey beg person at all to invest for bitcoin only time go tell dem.

[PhilosopherKing]

I am security conscious and I don't like to be talking about bitcoin with someone, except the person is close to me. For someone that is close to me, if I tell the person about bitcoin like one or two time and the person doubt what I am saying I usually leave the person alone and tell the person to go online and research bitcoin. After a week I will ask the person awfar if the person have done research of it. I do that because I have come to understand that It is pointless and needless to be forcing someone into bitcoin investment when the person already show no interest for it.

Ongoing bitcoin investment should be a decision that every person make on their own not something that they are forced into.

[Alonso_]

I’m very careful talking about bitcoin with anyone unless the person walks up to me to ask me anything about bitcoin that is when I can actually contribute to tell the person what bitcoin is all about, and I don’t think I’m in any position to tell anyone to invest in bitcoin, because most people aren’t not ready to invest in bitcoin but they’re only interested in asking questions, until an individual tells me that he or she has money available as a discretionary income then I would be inclined to indulge myself immediately and teach them how to buy and accumulate bitcoin and keep there portfolio free from scammers.

I cannot beg anyone to invest in bitcoin,it's almost like forcing the person to invest. If I discuss bitcoin with you and give you reasons to invest,I simply allow you some time to think about it but if you decide not to invest I won't forced you at all. If you insist that the person should invest, they might think you want to scam them. You don't need to prove anything to convince them, if they want to invest, they simply do so. If you go ahead and start showing your bitcoin balance to prove that bitcoin isn't a scam,  you might be putting your life at risk as people cannot be trusted.

My principles now is, anyone who don't have thesame goals or ambition as I do doesn't have to know or hear about anything I do with my time or money. The issue of insecurity is increasing, we now hear of friends killing their friends. If there is someone who consider himself to be my friend and doesn't have the same goals of holding bitcoin then he doesn't have to know about the bitcoins I'm holding or even my engagement with crypto, there is a phrase that says VISIBILITY CREATES ATTENTION.

[fredericktaylor]

Your friend lacks knowledge of Bitcoin, and so far, he isn't trying to learn. In my current state, I dont force anyone or try to convince anyone to understand Bitcoin.  What I do is, if anyone asks me a question that I know the answer to, I will give my own 2 cent and make sure I explain it very well for the person. Anyone who wants to learn will learn, you dont have to prove Bitcoin to anyone.

especially when it concerns the learning of bitcoin, you do not force somebody else into it. Bitcoin is a financial institution or system and it requires anybody who wants to venture into it to be disciplined and intentional about it so they can be more than willing to key in fully with much needed interest. If you have the interest before going into bitcoin it makes it easier for you to journey across the thick and thin of it but if you don’t have full interest in it and you were forced by somebody you respect you will just lose money and will hardly get it right thereafter

If your friend or someone you know is not interested in learning about Bitcoin, then you cannot force him to understand Bitcoin because he has no interest in learning about Bitcoin at all. If he is not interested in learning from his heart then no one else will ever be able to convince him, no matter how good it is. To understand or invest in Bitcoin first of all, a person mindset is very important and it is also very important to have an interest in learning. Investing with the right knowledge will help you not to get disappointed quickly during market volatility and you will be able to hold Bitcoin with confidence which will reduce the risk of losing money and can expect profit in the long run.

Honestly,this your principle is what many bitcoiners and crypto enthusiasts are adopting.Because for what reason would a person who doesn’t share same goal with you know what you’re doing.Many bitcoiners have been kidnapped and they’re forced to reveal the login credentials of their holdings to the kidnapper.As a matter of fact,the rate of physical attack is increasing and alarming,the more visible and exposed you are concerning your bitcoin holdings the more you draw the attention of those attackers.The craziest part is that those that aren’t involved in bitcoin investment see bitcoin investors as those that have made in it in life,so with that perspective they have they can go an extra mile to bring an investor down.

Ongoing bitcoin investment should be a decision that every person make on their own not something that they are forced into.

There's a difference between teaching someone about bitcoin and forcing them, because teaching them means that you're giving them the knowledge about bitcoin investment because there are some folks who doesn't know about bitcoin investment so without you bringing bitcoin related discussion to them there's no way they would learn or know about it even though some might not find it necessary after telling them, at this point you have to let them be. this way I don't think if there's anything wrong with it and moreover you didn't even force them to invest it's just the knowledge that you give to them so it's Left for them to decide what to do.
