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.

[Mpamaegbu]

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.

Definitely, I stand with what you've said. We're only here to share our goals and visions with those minds of our own. I can't see myself telling someone that have absolutely no clue about trading, about my plans to explore more in crypto market, common it's of no use and no target because he or she won't even contribute than seeing the negative effects. Common we've moved passed than road and wouldn't go back there again, this is the time to build something solid and wait for the shine because everything built on a solid foundation have a proper and higher chances of exploring.

[Bit-Mj1014]

People believe what they want based on the how it has walked out for them, based on the fact that the crypto space is flooded with scammers believing in Bitcoin takes a lot of education and insight.
For me there's no need to prove to anyone about the credibility of Bitcoin, all you is tell the person what Bitcoin is all about, and encourage to do some proper research, Bitcoin will do the rest.

[Humblevirus]

It is not everyone that will believe in Bitcoin in one way or another. There are some sets of people who, through the experiences they heard from other online schemes, will not believe in Bitcoin. There are also some people who have never had any experience before, and they do not give themselves time to do their own research and find the truth themselves. Instead, they just believe what other people say badly about Bitcoin.Those who are ready to adopt Bitcoin do not need people to convince them so much before they can accept it. So, your friend may not like to invest in Bitcoin again, no matter what people may tell him about Bitcoin. He has already built up his mind that any online investment is a scam. It is very sure that it is not only Bitcoin investment he may stop, but possibly all online investments. Therefore, someone does not need to spend much time with that kind of person.

[Showlove01]

Why do someone need to prove Bitcoin to people for? Sorry I am using question to answer lol 🤣. Honestly it is very pointless trying to prove Bitcoin to people and also dangerous because something can go wrong, just imagine proving it to someone you don't really know his or her intention and by so doing you mistakenly tell the person how much you gave held in your portfolio and the worth of it currently and the person has a bad intension, the next thing the person will do is to either kidnap you for ransom or assesinate you out of envy or jealousy so proving to people about Bitcoin is a big mistake.

[SmartCharpa]

They no dey prove people wrong to believe in anything again, and you don’t need to blame anyone only because dem no believe in Bitcoin. Some people dey try avoid the same thing wey happened to them in the past, so dem find am difficult to believe any online investment again. Some people invest in shitcoins maybe out of greed or lack of knowledge, while some people no even get any idea about Bitcoin, na why dem no understand how the thing work.

We no go ever learn sha. This online thing dey very common for this country, people just dey find wetin go give them quick money. Imagine wetin go dey give you 3k daily? All these things go pay you for the beginning, and once people put more money, na there dem go scam everybody. Make we wise.

[B-BossMan]

Was having some brief discussions with a friend of mine about bitcoin but he seems to be adamant and not paying to attention to things that concern bitcoin because his experience where some people scammed him through bitcoin and he was told to invest a specific amount of money into the platform and he will be receiving around 3,000 Naira every day that he doesn’t need to stressed himself or do anything but only daily basis he will be having a return of 3k as programmed on the site. When he explained his experience I told him that it is he’s greed that led him to be easily scammed that how did he expect to be at home doing nothing and expect money to reading on his profile that is enough to scam him because these site that sound to real to be true are often happens to be scam site.

The last he concluded with me is that bitcoin is not friendly since anyone can create a site and let people to make deposits to that particular that is not something they should be putting their money.Then I answered him that where on earth do you think that manner falls from above without you knowing the secret to what that is giving you that 3k daily.

What I understood from him is that, he terrible experience has made him dislike bitcoin without having the knowledge that bitcoin is not scam but anyone can use it as a tools to scam people, same thing happens to fiat I mean our local currency that anyone can scam you through the local currency if you do not make proper research about the place and here you are to put your money into.

I believe that there are more people who are like this outside your country that someone might have scam them through bitcoin whereby they wouldn’t have that joy or fun to engage themselves into bitcoin investment because of ugly experience they had through bitcoin.

Op. My answer is NO because bitcoin doesn't need anybody's sales to survive or work perfectly, if they are so curious about bitcoin then you can explain to them calmly and help them understand the important of bitcoin and also understand the difference between Bitcoin and other scams schemes that use bitcoin as payment method. But once they aren't interested in learning anything   there's no need to be forcing yourself to convince them because trying too hard to prove yourself will be stressful and waste if time and energy, and they may ended up not learning anything at all.

However, you friend's experience is actually painful but what causes that is lack of contented or greedy and lack of proper research and that's what most scammers usually takes advantage of. Bitcoin is not a scam, but scammers use bitcoin's name to deceived people, no one should expect free money everyday without working towards it or understanding how thier trash system operates.

Furthermore. Something valuable naturally proves itself over time. Bitcoin has continued to grow higher despite criticism from some folks, because people who took thier time to study bitcoin and understand how it works  knows its usefulness. Instead of arguing with anyone folks just focus on learning and investing gradually and let your results speak for you. People will truly learn what they want to learn when they are ready.

That is it, I don't see any reason why one has to proved to people how much Bitcoin they are hold, there is no need for that, people who pick interest in investing in Bitcoin doesn't need to stress one, they will just go ahead and invest. But, showing it to a person might just be a wrong thing, as they might be dealing with a wrong person that can rob them and one can be frustrated due to the mistake they make. Your Bitcoin assets is supposed to be a private one, not a public thing for safety purposes.
