The scam around cryptocurrency is aiding it low acceptability. Some investors don't research, they work with recommendations. This is the major hindrance to Bitcoin mainstream. Whether we like it or not, until the issue of scam within digital currency is addressed, we will continue to hope for a better day uncertain.
The issue of scam should be addressed across all sectors ( promotional, contract creation etc)

Scammers will always exist where you can earn. Therefore, you just need to follow a set of rules to reduce the risks.
They got scam because they are trusting those people that they do not even know so easily. Also, because of their greediness about the money that they might get, they just accept the offers of others without even thinking what will be probably the effect of it to them if they are going to accept it.

That is why before we introduce cryptocurrency to people, we should also be responsible for educating them on the possibilities of being scammed and be a victim of illegal activities on the internet. I do really appreciate people who conducts seminars that are free to public that is concerned about cybersecurity and investment. It strengthens the foundation of an individual to become risk-free and to have a deeper understanding of how to avoid fraud in the market.

In as much that there are a lot of scams in the bitcoin ecosystem and the entire crypto space as a whole, greed is the only reason why a lot people in the crypto space and bitcoin ecosystem fall for these scams. It is about time people in the crypto space need to research before investing into anything in this ecosystem. Knowledge and understanding are the key elements need to avoid being scammed in the bitcoin ecosystem. Scammers are always looking for greedy people in the ecosystem to scam them. A lot of people in the crypto space do not really know what bitcoin is and its significant purpose in the entire financial space. Due to this, people easily get scammed.
Fraudsters have learned not only to create super-attractive conditions for their deceptions, but also to involve influential advisors so that this scamming deal looks very believable. People get these tricks and lose money. By the way, I agree with you that this is due to greed

With their less knowledge about bitcoin it is nearly impossible to make them understand that they are victim of classic scams and it is nothing to do with btc but for these scams they cant go any where or report it they feel vulnerable in using cryptos many individuals trys to point out some scams which get into main stream but this thing need to be done as a collective effort.
Well said, I am totally agree with that point. Bitcoin itself have nothing to do with these kind of scams. Those peoples are thinking Bitcoin is scam they have bad experience with it and they don't have enough technical knowledge what is bitcoin and how it's been working. Lots of scam happening on even real life with real money, it can't be prevent very easily. So it's normal behaviour, some bad people always around us either offline or online.

I have real experience that some people give up bitcoin due to scams. When they tried to buy bitcoin from my local country then sellers scam them and they disappointed from bitcoin. But bitcoin itself can't scam anyone, who will explain them since they already got scam and have bad experience. That's how some people think that bitcoin is scam but technically they are all wrong.
My work colleague had a story related to cloud mining. Soon, a friend lost his money, as the site simply disappeared. It’s not worth it to invest in scam projects that promise mountains of wealth.
you should protect always your money and do not invest blindly with an investment that promises a high return . High return means high risk and you will lost all yout money in just one mistake so always take care of it. Investment is part of our life but you dont need to trust a fraud just to earn money.Well, I don't know why there's a lot of people who believes in this kind of strategy, sometimes, I am thinking, is it because of the poverty and they wanted to become rich in just expand of time, or they just do have lack of education and time to do research with what they are doing.

The easiest way to not gove in to a scam and for for somhing is to be thick-skinned as hell. Don't believe anything anyone tella you. Expect what you hear to be bs abd lies. Dont just be a sheep and accept the first answer you get. Ask around. Wuestion. Like at school question your teachers and ask why. You ahoukd be use to questioning thigs from being in school. Only the sheep never questions the teacher. Always question thongs esspecially about money. This is the best advice you can get honestly. Don't trust anything you hear. Only trust what is real.

Things like that make the image of bitcoin worse which affects the movement of bitcoin because of the negative impact for those who already believe in bitcoin become less trusting again, and besides it makes people hesitate to get involved with bitcoin.
and the development of bitcoin is growing fast and more trials will be faced, and the saying goes that the taller the tree, the stronger the wind will hit.

I think that we should know every system has it negative side too and weakness I may say, and this is what those people that are bad have seen and taking advantage of to tarnish the image of cryptocurrency which we also contributed to it too. The way we contributed to it was that we gave them so much open hand to operate by not cross checking every project that they came up with in form of scam just because we want to make quick money, and this is what we have to deal with now.
Instead if the interest of people in cryptocurrency, they are just losing interest the more because of the fear of unknown and uncertainties about the future of cryptocurrency. I wish that we could just have one of these main countries to come up with regulations as this will help a whole lot.
