Your Money Is Not His Money

in Project HOPE4 years ago

In our cryptocurrency world, there are lots of different temptations to invest in different money earning systems as we desire to reap a nice profit online.

We see lots of youtube videoclips that share different opportunities with their referral links.

Very often, these are marketing talks that are trying to lure us into signing up so that they can earn through the referral programmes.

I must admit there are some honest people out there that would warn us of the risk and opportunity so that we can make our own decision.

Greed can cause people to cover up the risk and only present the opportunity as the promoters simply want to earn from us.

We should be wise and not fall into any trap that looks so profitable without doing our own research.

Before an investment, we should calculate or estimate whether we have enough for all the bills and expenses so that we only invest using our spare cash.

Few years ago, there were many who invested everything into Bitconnect when I first joined and participated in the crypto world.

With a $100, we were supposed to be able to multiply this in many times and we could get more by referring others into the programme.

The fall of Bitconnect had caused a great impact then and the promoters had legal issues to settle since they were intensively promoting Bitconnect on youtube and other platforms.

Most of our money would have been gathered through our day job so we do not have a rich dad to give us free cash for investment.

When we manage to gain nice profit, we should quickly take back our capital without investing using our capital anymore.

By investing using only our profit, we would be able to make better calculative risk without the fear of losing so much since it is our pure profit.

There are many people who can give such advice and they know it but knowing it and doing it are two different things.

We need to control our greed and avoid traps that cause us to lose money without investigating further.

A simple rule that can guide us in our personal investment.
‘Invest in what we can afford and research before investing.‘

This is the key point one must understand.
Hard-earned money must be handled carefully.

Indeed! 😀

Very true I personally learned the hard way. So when it promises ridiculous high returns it's a red flag for me.

It is wise if one chooses not to take high risk.

Hello @ fun2learn,

Very interesting your advice about prudence and greed in the world of crypto. When I started, back in 2017, I fell into a Scam called Gladiacom, I learned the hard way losing 0.3 BTC.

Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome

the only way not to fall into scams is to be aware of the business you are thinking of getting involved in, the rest are just urban myths

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

I would call it experience because since I am in the world of crypto and suffered scams robberies etc etc. it is incredible how scams every day are more and more sophisticated, of course I do not know if it is the truth of life is just something of my experience,for whats not to happen to others
