Sometimes it’s worth believing offers that sound too good to be true

[Inior]

I know this might sound contradicting to what many of us know or have come across over the years but then, what if that statement doesn’t apply to everything in general?

Firstly I’ll like to acknowledge that there is a contradictory heading in this LB that inspired me to ask the question, though the content of that topic is different from what I’m about to say.

When we talk about offer that are too good to be true the first thing that pounders in our mind is scam, which in most cases is the reality but then what if there are genuine offer that seem to be very difficult to believe probably because of what it promises.
Lo and behold bitcoin happens to be among those offer that sounds too good to be true especially from it’s onset. Let me explain, most of us rejected bitcoin only to accept it later in future and why was that?
To most people including myself bitcoin looked like one of those stocks or digital currency that wouldn’t survive a decade before it starts trending downwards, but after spectating for a long while and understanding how it really work, we are now convinced that the offer that seemed too good to be true is actually truer than we imagined.

The whole storyline of this post is to inspire us to not make hasty decisions to condemn something because it sounds too good to be true, it’s best we make our own research before jumping into conclusions.

You are right, but we cannot conclude this and pretend we are blind to what is actually happening online: several opportunities promising high returns in a short period of time. Still, only a few of them can be trusted and are committed to being reliable in what they are promoting. At the same time, a large number are nothing but scams in pretense to entice us with any high reward. This is why we must stay alert, research, and make every necessary consultation regarding any project or investment we are taking into consideration; this will enable us to properly channel our funds on the right path rather than contributing them to the hands of scammers with their hypes on influencer-promoted scam projects.

You used bitcoin as an example but it is a good wrong example. Bitcoin is different from where people use those words. Anyone that know about bitcoin very well in the beginning will know it was a huge innovation. You can even mine bitcoin on your computer and there were several bitcoin giveaway and faucets.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is probably a scam.

That is just it.

Bitcoin did not sound too good to be true after people are researching about it. Only ignorance will make people say that.

I understand where you are coming from and where you are going. At a point when reading your post, I was tempted to agree with you to an extent but on a deeper understanding and consideration, I'm totally disagreeing with you especially with the wrong example you referenced using bitcoin and I will tell you why I now totally disagree. You see bitcoin never had any group of people in a platform telling you to bring someone to join in the fold so that you can grow as an upliner. That is, it never had anything like upliner or downliner. As far as bitcoin was concern then, it was a personal decision for you to take the risk with your money or not. Another point of disagreement is that, bitcoin never promised any particular percentage in return. The only thing that looked like it was faucets and again that depended on your ability and it had timeframe that you can get some limited sat. I can go on and on to bring out the error in using btc as reference to investing when it looks too good to be true. In my own view then, I only had fear of losing but not a promise from any group that I would profit because they had tried it before just as Ponzi people would promise.

So as far as I know, there is always something to look out for in an old saying. It is not about modernity or change. Like them say, "e don tay wey ynash dey for back".

As always, look before you leap. E get Y.

Every offer which sounds too good should trigger your sense of caution and security. You always have to verify the authenticity of it as well as legal compliance and license it operates with. Another thing is the clarity of generating ROI in the offer. if there is no clear description on how your funds would be utilized to give you the profits you're being promised, then it is scam.

Bitcoin is a wrong example because it is clear that its value increases with adoption and it doesn't promise you anything, so there's no guarantees on your investment and your getting profits depend on the upward movement of the price.
Most investments that are too good to be true makes radical offers and guarantees profits which isn't clear how they would be generated. Some of the companies that makes such offers are legally non-existent, so their services are pure gambling.

You will find that most people who saw bitcoin as something that was too good to be true didn't really try to look at what bitcoin was themselves but instead judged it based on what someone else told them and that information the get about bitcoin is usually wrong.

Anyone who actually looks at what bitcoin is will know to not describe it as something that's too good to be true, bitcoin isn't a get rich quick scheme which is usually what most of those projects that are too good to be true promise to offer because what the target is your ego and not your ambition.
