Negative perception about cryptocurrency

Siento lo ocurrido, no debes desalentarte debes aprender de lo ocurrido esto te da experiencia.
Casi todos los que estamos hemos sido de una manera u otra estafados y eso no ha impedido que sigamos, lo que nos ha dado más perspicacia a la hora de actuar.

Unfortunately, the negative part of cryptocurrencies at the moment is the scam, to try to be protected, we must educate ourselves in this space.
It is not an easy path, but that is how we learn to investigate and contrast the information, and then take the step.

hahaha education, we can only try our best bro but the truth is most if these scammers are crypto gurus. Some will organize workshops to talk about only the good things in crypto and start accepting deposit to trade on your behalf

I am talking from experience. This happened in Ghana at where I am staying currently. Big crypto guy who goes to crypto conferences overseas came and set up a crypto company. This guy started going to big companies to organize workshops for them. That was 2018 just after my University education. He was just accepting deposit from people that time btc was around 20,000- 30,000 cedis. With his business you don’t need to know anything about bitcoin, just deposit your money and expect profits from trading. This business collapsed just after a year and a lot of people lost billions of cedis. So how will those affected feel when they hear anything crypto. The company name was having crypto in it :joy:…These cases are still in court. Especially in Africa (using Africa because that’s where I am) most of the first people who got knowledge in crypto use it to take advantage of those who want to learn

The funny thing about scam is, you only get access to the right information on the internet after you have been scammed.

You can even get videos on youtube screaming “crybitus” is a scam but it is as if you will be blinded initially and finally get to see all that after your money is gone.

To see CRYPTO as evil
Resulting in low massive adoption

I nearly gave up on crypto because I was scammed by one “bitclub advantage”. And that was my first entry into crypto. So sometimes if you are not determined, the perception will be different.
