I came across a post made on this forum by someone that says he has $20k for investment as such he was looking for people to advice him on how to go about it, for me it was actually a bad idea consorting everyone for investment advice because you could be lured by scammers to invest on a shitcoin as such loosing all your money because of lack of knowledge about Bitcoin or any investment in general, as someone that has no idea on investment I think the first thing was research google to learn more and also the risk involves. so I was thrilled to create this topic, so everyone could help by sharing there own knowledge on what someone that has no knowledge about investment should no before venturing into.
I may not be the right person for investment advice that's why I'm asking everyone to share their advice, views and knowledge incase something like this should come up, so people could learn and no what must be done before going into investment.
Well, I don't think that the guy has done anything wrong by asking others advice because it's always better to learn about new things from well known investors in beginning. The guy asked for advice and the reputed members of the forum shared their opinions, and there is nothing wrong with that because they all shared their own interests and ideas. Once the guy got the advice then he should reverify each advice by further researching about it on Google, Youtube, and other platforms before putting his money into it.
I really don't think that anyone who has knowledge about crypto-currencies would advice others to invest in altcoins because most of them are totally useless and exist only for pump & dump schemes. The creators of those coins intentionally created the coins for the pumping & dumping to earn their revenue, and the exchanges listed those coins also for the same reason. However, I can't underestimate the fact that there are some good and useful altcoins that can be profitable if someone invests in them at right time, but almost 95% of altcoins are useless, and they are just there to grab naive investors money.
Although it's not fair to say, but you're also doing the same thing that the other guy did in his post. You are also asking for the advice of this forum members, but on the behalf of that person, and that's why I don't think that you will get anything new because the forum members are same and their advice will remain same. I think it should be better if you appreciate the advice of the forum members and then do your own research to further verify that the advice could be useful or not. I hope that will solve the issue of trust because after verification by oneself then it's one's own decision to invest in a thing or not.
