RE: My first crypto scam experience (Why I will no longer tell people about crypto)

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Thats CRAZY, ive been warning people about this and most people have called me a liar

everyone has this fear of missing out and its causing people to do such rash things - there are people who have lost hundreds of coins hoping to be apart of the nxt big thing, only to find out, its someone in a small room in china who just made 100k in a few seconds

i told a friend about bitcoin in 2012, and he fell n love with it, the price dropped dramatically and he accused me of lying and told me that it was fault the price dropped.....so.... i dont tell anyone close about cryptos, never ever again

Exactly. Fomo has replaced due diligence and that should never be the case! I thought I was doing them a favor by helping them navigate through the space in an intelligent and safe way. Turned out that the help backfired and some developed a hubris in place of caution.
