I get your part about how you dey harsh on the pidgin aspect but you need to understand say not every Nigerian dey fluent with pidgin English especially you ask them to write am, so be kind with your words and allow people to express themselves anyhow wey them sabi. Now to talk about this topic a lot of people never still realize the fact say to survive for crypto no be only about knowledge or smartness, discipline must also dey included as well and a lot of Nigerians lack this. Even with all the knowledge wey them get about the crypto coins wey them dey invest in them go still enter scammers hand because of their greed, those ones wey dey always find easy ways to make money fall for crypto scams easily.

Being smart no means being aware about a sophisticated scam method. Person fit they smart for some area of crypto but they lack awareness about a particular kind of scam method wey scammers they use thief people coins. E they very normal say person fit smart make them fit still fall victim to some kind scams like click bait attack, clipboard virus, swap their coins to fake coins using DEx. Nah normal thing, bra. 💁‍♀️

The reason way I give fit no be another person reason why smart people way done already dey for crypto for long dey fall victim of crypto scam, if you say I done already answer the question that mean say, my idea and your own relate well, but I still want other people to talk there own reason make e no be say e start and end for my mouth.

If we done discuss am before you for bring proof of thread link way them discuss this kind thing for this local board and again if na something way them done talk for years back watin happen if we talk am again, you no no say as time they go people dey mature and them dey get different ideas, watin I believe today fit dey different from tomorrow.

I done edit am sha, why I put am like that na because people dey always act as them what. I no dey do over sabi for pidgin na my language be that, anybody way say en no fit write for pidgin make en rest.

‎So wetin you think say be the main reason why people way get sense about cryptocurrency or done dey for crypto business for long, dey fall victim of scam, na greed dey cause am, FOMO, overconfidence, social pressure, watin dey really cause am?

Wetin you go understand be say as technology dey upgrade, scam dey follow-up. Some OGs wey know some security practices gatz update dem knowledge from time to time, if not, dem go still looseguard for latest scam package. Dem no dey learn dis technology finish and na why anybody wey dey serious with self-custody of em coins go dey read, visit verified wallet channels and official sites regularly, know when dem don catch bug for de software em dey use and upgrade in time to latest releases so that em funds go dey safe and to also know the current best security practices so dat him go protect him funds better.

Rugged you  

[Grace333]

E no really matter the kind packaging wey the scam use to dey convince people the thing na besay some of these person wey dey fall for for the thing na tiff eye dey make dem fall. I no see why person go sho u offer wey you seff no say e good to be true yet you go wan still participate for am. Me once I see say the thing dey suspicious the first thing I dey do na to enter Google write the offer and weda e really dey legit, if e no legit or I no see better search result I dey comot body make e no be like say na me go first go give the bad review 
So to fall for scam no be really about your smartness na mostly about how you don work on you tiff eye reach.

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

Greed folo for wetin dey make even person wey don dey into cryptocurrency for long wey get experience to fall because dem dey always feel say dem go smart pass d market but as e be say cryptocurrency na somtin wey dey volatile, e no dey easy to dey smarter dan the market because the price fill dey rise and you tink say e go continue like dat but before you know e don fall down yakata.

If you reason d mata well you go understand say greed suppose be the major tin. If to say the OP topic na about why people in general dey fall for crypto scam then plenty other stuffs go come in but as the OP point of concentration na on smart people den greed na mostly wetin dey make dem fall for scammers.

Social media noise folo for wetin dey cause am too because u fit just enter Social media see as people dey praise one coin say e go go up and when you check comments na so so hype dem dey hype am, so because of FOMO go make you go put money especially wen e be say dat kind tin don happen before u come neglect am, so dat one go come be like na anoda opportunity but you no go know say na big set up be dat so if u be person wey dey dey easily moved by wetin dey trend for Social media you go see say u go fall.

I fit agree with social media to an extent cause eh sabi influence even the smartest people to make wrong choices but eh still fall back to greed cause person wey smart suppose understand say em no suppose invest on hyped coins but verified one wey don prove say eh dey worthy to invest on.

‎So watin you think say be the main reason why people way get sense about cryptocurrency or done dey for crypto business for long, dey fall victim of scam, na greed dey cause am, FOMO, overconfidence, social pressure, watin dey really cause am?

If you check the rate of poverty for the country, the thing dey high. So people want take advantage of any way to get quick money. Some people wey lose money for MMM still continue with other Ponzi schemes. People don lose major for shitcoins, but people still dey invest because dem wan excape poverty. Remember the Telegram tap shits wey even people way get info about crypto engage fully. I even do sef. 

Greed na another one. You make small profit, na so you go borrow more money put inside Ponzi scheme or shitcoin. As I dey,  any coin wey no be Bitcoin, I no dey put body.

Ignorance also put body. Nigerians get many people wey never understand crypto, but dem just dey invest. If you no dey read, ignorance go make you lose guide. We wey dey for this forum get luck because we dey get update. Some people no get the priviledge of learning wetin we dey learn here.

[Richbased]

Almost everybody wey don reply dey talk say na greed dey cause am and na true because I don see person wey dey tey tey for crypto industry but na greed make am go put money for cryptocurrency wey the price dey rise because him feel say na opportunity to cash out wen the price don approach certain level. The problem about greedy people be say dem no dey no wen to stop because as the price dey rise and you dey see say your investment dey rise too, dem go no go know wen to take profit till the price go begin fall and instead of dem to even trade am to a stablecoin dem go dey wait make e rise back again until e don go down well well or maybe network fit even dey worry wen dem wan trade am to stablecoin so person wey don old for the crypto industry no suppose enter the market wit greed because him go don get experience of how e dey be.

[Promocodeudo]

one thing way dey confuse me sometimes na how come way be say even people way get sense about cryptocurrency dey still dey fall for crypto scam.

E get wetin you gats understand, see ba, when it comes to scam no be by being smart, becos if you dey smart and you no understand the antics of scammers, they go flex you Monika run, make I boast your brain, scammers get the way them dey do their things, make you 3get say them get their format and dey go try all to make sure say one work on you, with wetin me I understand ba, people wey scammers dey catch fast na people wey no dey ok with wetin dem get, no matter how you smart rich if you be that kin pesin, just know sey s scammers fit job you, and another thing be say, this scammers dey come of with different level wey people no no, make you know sey scammers dey upgrade and update as e dey hot every day, that's why we gat dey careful and avoid any conversation 4 telegram, Facebook or any other social wey dey head to investment in crypto,whether na trading signal group or any where, we gat gallant and gbodon make we no go lose guide.

[Shaponzy]

Greed folo for wetin dey make even person wey don dey into cryptocurrency for long wey get experience to fall because dem dey always feel say dem go smart pass d market but as e be say cryptocurrency na somtin wey dey volatile, e no dey easy to dey smarter dan the market because the price fill dey rise and you tink say e go continue like dat but before you know e don fall down yakata.

If you reason d mata well you go understand say greed suppose be the major tin. If to say the OP topic na about why people in general dey fall for crypto scam then plenty other stuffs go come in but as the OP point of concentration na on smart people den greed na mostly wetin dey make dem fall for scammers.

Social media noise folo for wetin dey cause am too because u fit just enter Social media see as people dey praise one coin say e go go up and when you check comments na so so hype dem dey hype am, so because of FOMO go make you go put money especially wen e be say dat kind tin don happen before u come neglect am, so dat one go come be like na anoda opportunity but you no go know say na big set up be dat so if u be person wey dey dey easily moved by wetin dey trend for Social media you go see say u go fall.

I fit agree with social media to an extent cause eh sabi influence even the smartest people to make wrong choices but eh still fall back to greed cause person wey smart suppose understand say em no suppose invest on hyped coins but verified one wey don prove say eh dey worthy to invest on.

I go agree with this social media matter, because eh get some things or videos for social media wey be say after you don watch am, you go say make you tray am if na real or not, some times no be day na negligence or lack of knowledge oooo, but the thing just be like temptation, once you just try do am you fit fall for victim but some times you no go know anything  a when your don finish put money finish, ma that time your eyes go clear. So mistakes no really mean say either you be smart person or you no smart at all, things future happen unconsciously. But we ourselves make we dey careful of any links wey we no dwy familier with.

‎So wetin you think say be the main reason why people way get sense about cryptocurrency or done dey for crypto business for long, dey fall victim of scam, na greed dey cause am, FOMO, overconfidence, social pressure, watin dey really cause am?
‎

Wetin you go understand be say as technology dey upgrade, scam dey follow-up.

Na the koko thing you talk so, as day dey break nah so new things dey also come out with new patterns. All this scammers too dey also upgrade their strategies too, just imagine how advanced AI tools dey make things look perfect and hard for you to know say nah even AI, both pictures and videos, documents and other things way for dey somehow hard for most people to do, nai AI dey run am within few seconds just with your prompt.
The thing be say, for person to dey immune for scam, nah to always dey updated, know how these scammers dey work and operate and lastly no also dey greedy because nah how you fund the thing actractive nai you go take fall for am.

Almost everybody wey don reply dey talk say na greed dey cause am and na true because I don see person wey dey tey tey for crypto industry but na greed make am go put money for cryptocurrency wey the price dey rise because him feel say na opportunity to cash out wen the price don approach certain level.

Greed na the number one thing, secondly na carelessness, why carelessness be say most people no know say to dey click on random links and to join unnecessary groups online no dey good, even the ones wey know all this things sef dey feel say them smart but at the end them dey still fall for scam because them no dey learn from other people mistakes for the crypto space.

[Merit.s]

Scam na part of human nature and no be only crypto scam dey even fiat scam too dey. As long as na money matters, scammers must to find way to achieve people funds.

E go good say make we dey vigilant and dey use to all these crypto scam methods both old and new so that you go fit safeguard yourself from am and also tell other people around you wey dey the cryptospace.

I like your blunt emphasis on the use of pidgin English and if you must know, I don laf tire for where I dey.

However, to give my own 2 cents on the matter wey you put for ground, one smart person over a hundred scammers wey don put head together na serious case wey the smart person no go fit win easily even if Dem don tey for the crypto currency market and sabi many of the tricks wey scammers dey use.

The human brain no be computer and at some point e go must tire and need rest to function smartly again and na at that point scammers dey always strike, wen person guard don dey down and den still dey force themselves to cope.

Scammers dey after human psychology and that na why na only when smart person dey overconfident or loose guard because them wan be first to make gain, na em Dem dey clean am, so e good to understand oneself and know when to quit or rest or observe before entering any market or press okay on any transactions mostly when person dey do many transactions continuously.

[Silikiem]

For a smart person to fall into scam then the person no Dey smart again na.. wetin Dey worry the person na foolishness. Our people talk say one person no Dey sabi everything wey Deh for the whole world. If you Dey smart no really mean say you sabi everything for the world, e get where your smartness level go reach. Me I believe say smartness Dey different from to sabi something because ordinarily if person already know say this tin wey him wan go do na scam then the person no go gree put hand for the tin. But as e be say him no no say na scam be that na wetin make him go put hand for the tin. But the problem be say some people go see shit for day time finish then come match am for night, e get some people wey dem don scam before using the same format but them still no want get sense, because say them want make big money quickly dem go use because of greed fall for the same scam. That one na foolishness no be smartness again.

[Joy- maker]

one thing way dey confuse me sometimes na how come way be say even people way get sense about cryptocurrency dey still dey fall for crypto scam.
‎no be only new people for cryptocurrency dey fall for scam, even people way done they for crypto business for long dey fall for scam too.
‎English no dey permitted. no write with English for here.

When i read reach the bold part, laugh   gree me I swear. Well, nothing bad, as for weting you yan, people still dey fall enter the trap of wayo people wey full the crypto space. And no matter how your head tire reach for book, or for technical things person wey no even fit spell e name well go wayo you for the crypto wakar, because for oyibo people their language then dey explore human psychology, instead of technical weakness, so make we try dey shine our eyes.

[Stormisover]

For a smart person to fall into scam then the person no Dey smart again na.. wetin Dey worry the person na foolishness. Our people talk say one person no Dey sabi everything wey Deh for the whole world. If you Dey smart no really mean say you sabi everything for the world, e get where your smartness level go reach.

That one na foolishness no be smartness again.

No I disagree with you saying that if a smart person fall victim and they are scammed say that person no dey smart again, noooh that is not the point ooh because even smart person can be scammed and that's not enough reason to write off such persons because they can be better than most other person in different other ways, just know say no body dey above scam ooh, just say make eno reach your side if not the day ego happened soap go enter your eye oooo. The thing be say some people can really be more vulnerable to scam than others and this is normal.

‎So watin you think say be the main reason why people way get sense about cryptocurrency or done dey for crypto business for long, dey fall victim of scam, na greed dey cause am, FOMO, overconfidence, social pressure, watin dey really cause am?
‎

Like this eh we no go fit talk say na only one thing they cause am but it's a combination of everything wey you list so then you go come add others too. Most times self, no be say them no know say na scam but them want dey over smart as they go plan to enter fast fast so they fit comot before the thing cast but unfortunately for them, na them go become the escape goat.

E no belike we no know wetin they sup but we just want chop our cake come still get an (with double portion self) and na wetin dey put us for problems be that. Then e come get people wey be say no sabi wetin dey happen at all, this set of persons dey fall because them no get updates and this one na either ignorance they cause am or I don't care lifestyle.

But last last when casala burst na them go hear am. So e just better make everybody stay guided make we no go become clients come dey lose the small rubbers wey we dey take they guide when na to double am we been they try do.
