Let me try luck, is not advisable/good most times

[Inior]

There are different varieties of humans in this world. Some are fast learners, and some are slow learners. Most people tend to fall under this category of persons, and for those who are slow learners, they may request for their own experience before they learn or understand what people with experience have been saying. Though we were taught and conditioned that experimentation is one of the best ways of learning but when it comes to the matter of finances, it’s always wise to avoid any experiment that would cause you money and waste of time just to prove a point when you already had all the warning signs not to proceed with that experiment.

Well, all these things are not new. They're practically problems that keeps happening, not just in the crypto space, but in every other area that involves finance. Let's not forget that not all Ponzi schemes are crypto related... Some are literally based on fiats and we often see them from time to time.

And, I'm not exactly sure of how people think that they can get rich with $100. If someone plans on getting rich with such amount, then whose money are they getting rich off?. There are certain offers that practically sound like theft because they're too good to be true, but people just don't care for certain reasons known to them. Getting rich has nothing to do with luck or messing around with unrealistic offers. The world doesn't dish out wealth on a platter of gold.

Investment aren't gambling therefore it shouldn't be luck based, if you want to gamble then try out gambling itself. The problem with most people is that they consider investing as gambling and that's why they go into investment with gamblers mindset and that's why they don't make profits. Gambling is short term but investing should be long term therefore when you went planning for anytime, you should know what you want to achieve. You should get it that gambling isn't investing, that's gambling is based on  luck but investing isn't and this where you get it wrong. Crypto investing isn't something you should do with guessing but what you do after doing your research so you don't necessary have to invest in those project that you haven't researched on than to falling victims to scanners. Investing in assets like Bitcoin isn't guess work as they're proven assets already and give security than trying out new altcoins that you don't know if they'll be worth the investments. All crypto investor should have a default investing strategy of buying Bitcoin as that's what's guaranteed to be worth investing into.

[Cityhunter34]

We shouldn't think of trying our luck when investing in Bitcoin, because it is not gambling. Any investment should be taken very seriously, especially Bitcoin investment, because there is absolutely a higher chance for you to make huge money when you invest for future purposes.

Trying your luck should only be for when you are gambling, because there's no guarantee that you will make in the long run without losing. So we should try to stop using unnecessary words that are not meant for Bitcoin, because Bitcoin investment is not luck-based. It is absolutely about patience and understanding, nothing else.

I greet ona my fellow country people.

in this topic i am going to channel this to the Crypto space and the things that do happen or occur around that some people has refused to learn from. So, some people or most people are aware of Crypto scam and some have been privileged to see a victim and how painful and frustrating it can be yet these folks sometimes allow their greed take over them. The root problem of this problem is that everyone wants to be rich overnight when they know fully well that, things does not work that way and so when they see someone who offered them a great return in the crypto, they will blindly invest when they know the possibility of that been true or working out successfully is very minimal instead they will say they want to try luck and at the end they will lose their money or asset. i have seen a lot of folks that has lost money because they want to try luck, one of friend who is into crypto, someone dropped a link on X telling people how much they stand to get if they click the link and sign up and i told her this is a scam and she said " i want to try and see if i will be lucky" unfortunately for her she lost about $100 and something in her account that was when she realized herself and was very helpless because a $100 was a big money back then.

Your friend here learned something and also experienced good example, that anywhere she come across link like that, she will definitely remember this. because right now I won’t say they scam her, because you told her not to put her money inside, but she insisted to try it , if it legit or not, is not that some people don’t see warning sign, but they prefer to test it. If it can really harm them. And I  just see all these as lack of I’m busy now, I won’t do my research, it may waste my time.

If someone want to become investor or business owner, either it something you know about or you don’t know much about what you about going into, the best to approach to that thing is by making your own research to conform thing or you go further to ask already experienced people that have been in business for long, to avoid scam or victim.

THINGS TO DO  TO AVOID TRYING THIS KIND OF LUCK

1. Do not be overly carried away when you hear stuffs like this even though you are trying to make it in life because people who has made it in life does not make it that easy and there is even a popular saying that " nothing good comes so easily" so those stuffs should be considered a red flag

2. While striving..., try to be contented with what you have, it will really help

3. Change your mindset of becoming rich overnight, success is a gradual process

4. Do not be desperate to be rich because there a lots of wrong decisions and choices that can come from it

[Makus]

If you intend to see if you would get lucky when it comes to an investment like Bitcoin or any other crypto investment then you should be gambling. There is nothing like getting rich overnight when it comes to such investments, luck isn't something that you should depend on because it shows that you have no direction or structure that you are following and the more you keep up with such shallow thinking it would be difficult to achieve Anything substantial.

When making an investment you must have it at the back of your mind that it's not something that you can just get into and then get rich From as though you are playing a lottery, if you are not disciplined, consistent and patient you cannot achieve anything from it.

[Swift_tr]

You've tried your luck and you've found out how there is no such thing like trying your luck. If you have something in mind that you'd like to achieve, the best way to go about it is first gaining knowledge on how it works then make a plan on a strategy to use in achieving this goal and that's just what it is. Things don't just get done by themselves, people get it done so if you're the wishful type that only dreams but never willing to put in the work then I'm sorry for you.

[Bright0515]

There are people that will always prefer to learn the hard way no matter how much warnings they've gotten from others who have probably gone through similar things. They always believe that they are the lucky ones A.K.A "God's favourite", so bad things can never happen to them. There is no such thing as let me try my luck, it's definitely a trap for gullible people who have refused to believe in the reality of life. Nothing good comes that easy especially in a society like ours where tribalism and man knows man is the order of the day.

There is no such thing as trying to get lucky when you are running an investment, this mentality of trying to see if I can get lucky or as you say God's favorite, is the reason why a lot of people invest blindly in memecoins hoping that they can flip their $50 to a thousand. Even though people have been able to achieve this it doesn't mean that it's going to happen everyday and not everyone can get lucky enough to achieve that. If you want to make a sustainable investment there Is always a need be calculative about the risks you take and not just hoping to get lucky.

See this thing not be about luck o. I dey talk am saying anybody wey them scam na thief. Because na thief go wan get big money wey e not work for overnight. Nor be for all cases sha as people dey wey them just jonz collect their money. But concerning this you topic so, the main problem na greed. Most people just dey find money for where them nor keep and na that thing dey cause the scam. Some people are even lucky enough to see profits over X2 of what they said to have invested invested  but they won't take any money why will still be looking for more profits..that one na greed peomax

[Obulis]

Let me try luck sometimes is what is needed to carry on but centering these heading on the crypto space makes it different. If it was a venture that you have certain level of control like doing business, sometimes you really need to try out, although that is not even a good business mindset.
But here in the crypto space where likely the only control you have is putting or not putting your funds, then you can't say let me just try luck! Because out of ten times trial you may lose all. It has to be an obvious clear setting not $5 to get $25 kind of thing.

Well not everyone are thinking quick gains in the crypto space, because many have learned there lessons from personal experiences and some from the plenty scam stories happening year in year out.

This is why I think crypto need to reorient most people. A lot of individuals are gambling instead of making investment with hope that in the future the price will do pretty well. Many people see Bitcoin as quick investment where they can change their future with 100x of investment and when they finally see the reality and see that it's not that way, they run after some altcoins that will give them quick money and in return, they lose everything.

There is no quick money anywhere, perhaps that time Bitcoin hasn't exploded before, it took a whole lot of effort fight to reach here. If you check how Bitcoin was struggling with many top institutions, there comments alone was frustrating the price but they didn't bother to worry about their investment and it paid off for them. You need to have discipline to be able to make any investment as long as it's a legit one.

[Olotu20]

You made a very important point because there are people, who are not fully committed to the id a of crypto currency but will have this type of mindsets of trying their luck out to see if crypto currency can be favourable to them. But this is not a very good approach when dealing with crypto currency. The reason is because, crypto currency is not something that you try your luck with because crypto currency such as Bitcoin involves you having to understand how it works, so that you can appreciate it when dealing with it. People with this type of mentality will not succeed in crypto because they have already missed it from the beginning already. Investing in crypto currency entails you having patience because crypto currencies of all sorts are volatile and may not give you that expected result from the initial stage. Hence the need to take your time and stay put while investing in crypto.

Greed indeed is the major cause of being scammed no one get rich overnight . I think is best to ask questions and making research before clicking on any link from any platform trusting every link is not advisable  mostly as a newbie and knowing fully well scams exit should be one major reason to be careful getting rich quick is not by trying lucks and alot of people calls it risk that isn't risk is just a act of greed

[Wiwo]

Greed and quest to get high profits within a short period of time is what drive most people into such situations, what I have come to realize also is that, no matter how you give someone advice I they hasn't experience such, they will not learn they lessons.

You don't have to blame them for not taking risk management advice when is offered from the place of your own experience that you want them to avoid making the same mistakes.

The first red flag to know is that any cryptocurrency schemes that parade themselves as investment platforms are potential scams, and the clearest indicator is the promise of high profits or investment interest.

[Franklyn-wood]

someone dropped a link on X telling people how much they stand to get if they click the link and sign up and i told her this is a scam and she said " i want to try and see if i will be lucky" unfortunately for her she lost about $100 and something in her account that was when she realized herself and was very helpless because a $100 was a big money back then.

If you are careless about clicking of links, you might live to regret it. the cyber space as it stands has more dangerous links than the good ones and regardless the reputation of the induvial that is sharing the link, the first and most important thing you ought to do is to check it out before proceeding.

If you de this naija and want de do trial and error, e go just be a matter of time before people go use you give example as to why it is necessary to be vigilant and not be greedy in this digital space. Is $100 a small amount? The moment you realize that there is nothing that is free even in free land you go man up face your hustle and na from that point to fall into scam go de hard you.

I no fit boane some people wey enter inside scanners them hand, because things they very hard so people they find sharp way to get small updates wey go help them survive for life. To be careful dey good because nothing be free for this life and the person wey dey advertise that thing wey dey like free gift self want take you muggu and collect the small one you have at hand.
The rate at which this phishing links are in the increase now is very high, that anybody can fall victims of this same mistake and not only those who are greedy or careless.
They come through different aspects depending on personal interest, with same aim of defrauding there host the deceptive information that sounds true and genuine.

If you enter the crypto space with the mentality of getting rich overnight without acquiring the right knowledge, then you will be a victim of scammer from the beginning. Scammer  are sitting there, when will the fish come to the net, it means that when you enter the crypto space with an aggressive attitude without acquiring the right knowledge, you will quickly become a victim of scam.

The thing is that our peoples still never believe that nothing goods come easy. But since their only looking for a way of making quick money that’s why all their eyes are closed, till after they fall victim to the scam they will later realize their mistakes. This is the reason why getting the right knowledge before enter the crypto space is more important, because that will help you understand the really projects, but peoples don’t want to seek for knowledge and their expecting to escape from the scammers never.

The scammer will show you the hope of making money quickly and ask you to invest, and when you do not have specific knowledge about crypto, you will easily believe the scammer and fall into the trap, as a result of which you will face financial losses, as well as your wrong idea about crypto will be created in your mind. So before investing anywhere, do a good research on that matter and it is reasonable to invest the money that you can lose.

The strategies that some scammers are using is clearly showing that this is not true, but due to lack of knowledge not everybody are awake that’s why some people fall in trap easily. The only best way to be avoid all those scammers is for us to acquiring knowledge, and also been on a research to avoid such things to be happen to us.

Wetin you expect now most of them wen you dey tell them, dem nor dey wan believe untill them experience am, na greed na him dey cause am, we nor dey satisfy with wetin we get, we wan rich over night na him make we dey put ourselves for this problem, how you go just see any site or link wey dem nor know anything about come dey access am at least dis one don be lesson for her next time she nor go enter anyplace wey she nor know.

Never mix investment with gambling that is the mistake most persons make .

[PhilosopherKing]

Bruh everything wey you yarn dey true. Wetin dey rain now na this network marketing stuff, way dem go tell you to bring one person wey go bring another person.And like that you will keep bringing people. Making money isn't that easy the way so many people dey take reason am. If being rich is very easy am sure that nobody go even dey poor for this world.

Imo, even if na my relative introduce me to any scheme or coin to buy, I don't think I will just rush like that without first understanding somethings about it. A little research can never kill anyone.

Honeypot and shitcoins have made their way to the spotlight, and if you are someone that just believe everything that they say in the Internet, then sorry is your case. Avoid greediness, always do research, quit the desperation to be rich, be skeptical about stuff that guys tell you on the Internet because they can be scammers trying to get holds of you. This are some of the ways to last long in the crypto world.

[Ishicryptic]

If you're trying your luck regarding what you don't fully understand online especially where it concerns money matters it means that you're gambling with your money and privacy because you can be scammed and you'd lose your money or be hacked and intrude into your privacy to steal from you. Social media have become a space for scammers and hackers to fully operate so don't trust any links or friendships that you know nothing about, scammers don't come as your hostile enemy they come with offers that are too good to be true.

I wonder why people will just click on anything that is sent to them, you will see a link that one network provider is giving out free airtime or a big company or a celebrity is celebrating anniversary and giving free money, all you have to do is click on a link, these are all cheap scams. It doesn't matter if it is your loved ones and best friends that forwarded you such a message just ignore it because there is no free money online.
