The Big Question Who Is Really At Fault?
Have you noticed that whenever someone complain or there is an incident of scam they is always a role that was played by the person in that happening, either they failed to be security conscious or they were totally ignorant, and when you look at it the scammer never forced them to comply, this people willingly fell for their trick.
There are lots of crypto investors that are well educated, have a good job and a higher level of exposure than even most scammers, but they chose to enter into the crypto space irresponsibly and they inevitably get scammed and at times lose huge sums of money or even life savings. Last bull run there was this Elon musk swap scam that was on and someone lost 10 bitcoins to it and even other cases where people have gotten scam through crypto ads or crypto exchanges that shut down and all this would have been prevented in a way.
In conclusion there are numerous experiences and stories of people getting scammed and it wasn't as tho a high class hacker went into the blockchain or stole their seed phrase, they literally gave them their money, I think no matter the new app with added security or software, people would still fall into scam as long as they chose to remain ignorant and disregard security consciousness, we can not protect anyone's holding for them, no matter how many treads on security and how to avoid scams are introduced, at the end of the day its a personal responsibility and each person must play their role in their safety.
O boy, your write up is definitely going to get some people angry, and that includes me, are you for real?
So scammers are now the saints because they lay down some traps and wait for innocent people to fall for it and they don't force anyone to fall?
I hope you become a victim sooner than later, you will know how it feels, what is bad is bad, there is no other name for being bad, do not try to turn something bad or evil into good.
Some scamming tricks are confusing enough, to make people fall victim, while some scammers use greed in humans to lure them into traps, none of these is a good one.
Scammers are to be blamed, they are the doers of evil, and the internet will be a safer place without them, but if you think that scamming people is not bad, may you become a victim yourself, maybe someone will steal all your money in your bank account one day, you will then know how it feels. The truth really tastes bitter so your free to be as angry as you want, face reality this is decentralization, we all signed for it when we decided that crypto was the way, and that includes beign responsibility for yourself and security, which ever way you get scammed either by misleading information or by total ignorance and sometimes people are just too greedy, if you read my post I made mention of a 2021 bull run scam called ELON MUSK SWAP that a man lost his 10 bitcoins too, does he look like a newbie to you, he has been here even before most of us, but was foolish enough to fall amongst many others, so now tell me, who would you blame the so sweet Elon scam or the man that failed to do his own research.
You get me wrong I'm not saying scammers are saints or angels, neither am I justifying the action, but its clear that we played a major role in any scam that happens to us, this people just merely exploit our weakness.
You feel I've not been scammed before, your joking, I have and yeah it's my fault, I was too greedy and that's fact and next time I'll stick in my lane, tell yourself the truth, your responsible for yourself.
I am glad you make some correction on your original post, you thus sound like you are saying it serves people right for losing their assets to scammers, as if every investors that lost funds to scammers are greedy.
There will always be newbies in this space, and mistakes will always be inevitable, learn everything you can, mistakes will still come seeking.
@Troytech, you got greedy, thats how you fell for scammers trap, have you ever not be greedy and still lost everything? Maybe you keep your recovery seed the right way and still someone moved out your funds? This have happened to me, until I got a hardware wallet and no problem since that time.
You don't have to be greedy before you get scammed, most people get hacked without being greedy, especially on computers and laptops, the world will be a better place without scammers, I wish they never existed.
