You have to be really ignorant with no researching and knowledge to fall for phishing sites, e-mail spam etc... MOD NOTE: Split from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=111855 |
The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes. This is not paid AD!

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

As long as you don't transfer the bitcoins out, keep your wallet safe, you should be generally fine.

Another benefit is that the scams help keep the btc price under control enabling more new adopters to get in reasonably cheaper
Onwards and upwards...

I'm not "glad" that there are scams. However, there is a positive effect, which is inoculation of the system.
As scams happen, and businesses fail, and trust is tried and tested and broken, it builds the resolve and resiliency of the system. Just as a society never exposed to any virus may be wiped out at the first appearance of one, so too an economy never exposed to fraud/failure is more susceptible to a massive disruption when one arises.
You can also think of this in terms of natural selection. Weak businesses and people will lose their money, the strong will earn, keep, and build with it. Capital tends to move toward its best caretaker in a free market (though it's not a straight line to get there - many bumps and regressions along the way).
great explanation, a small dose of a biological virus can be used as a vaccine to cure an epidemic before it spread. but the thing i and you may both agree on, is to not allow such nasty things to grow. meaning no one should foolishly put their life at risk entering a hazard zone. by this i mean do not put your whole life savings or full bitcoin hoard into unknown third parties |
I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER.
Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

easy targets, easy money = more scammers and fraudsters
I'd *think* that your typical bitcoin user is a bit more intelligent then the avg facebook user... but I wouldn't be surprised if a good one out of every three or four of those ppl have compromised passwords

The amount of scams that are done to steal your fiat money is a 99% against 1% BTC which is still in alpha tier development. Scammers gonna scam. With regulations you could tell the police, but the dilemma arishes: Is said regulation beneficial considering the cons that would come for the BTC ecosystem?

True, but sometimes one needs to sell and that is when one has to trust someone else with their bitcoin, even if it is an escrower or an exchange. |

Stupid people will get scammed, doesn't matter if they lose bitcoins or fiat money, they'll manage to lose it anyways. Some gamble, some invests in schemes to get rich, others think they can download money generators, or use scripts to fool casinos. Those people are doomed as soon as they get internet access, sadly.

I fail to see why we'd want mass adoption from idiots who'll cry when they get scammed. |

Currently Blockchain.info estimates USD transaction volume at $40M daily. Are there any statistic regarding total fraud in Bitcoin transactions?

and nobody takes responsibility for scams related to bitcoins How can it take, when your already know in the beginning when you deal with BTC what can happen, btc cant be controlled where its gonna end, it always go anonymously from one to another address and you cant find out which one is owner. |
