I was scammed multiple times by ponzi shits but still I'm investing to some ponzi, that's what I'm doing insted of whining. There's something wrong with me 
If you're going to invest in a ponzi, id suggest you just invest the very minimum amount possible of your Bitcoins into it just to be safe. Here's another thing: create multiple accounts in the ponzi with your referral link. That way you'll be scamming them instead of getting yourself scammed
referring to yourself is not a good idea because some ponzi can detect same IP registration which may lead to banned account. he will just lose more
(some also can detect if you use VPN/proxy when registering) your first advice is good, just invest what he can lose

All of you talking about how you lost money on ponzis and HYIPs...really? Money doesn't come out of nowhere. If you're putting your money somewhere to get a large sum back with low effort, it's a scam. A fool and his money are quickly parted, I suppose.

in your case you has been scammed by HYIP.. it's normal because HYIP will be die soon. High Risk High Return that was HYIP motto
It depends what way i got scammed, Gambling, Ponzi(Cloud Mining) or like you in HYIP.. i will remember not to fall on same hole next time.
Just Let It Go ..

I would try my best to get it back but most scams I don't think I can. The best way for me is just to prevent myself from going to those sites. Stay away from ponzi.

A while back, I was scammed by some guy for .15 btc on primedice and I thought I was about to cry. 5.5 btc and I wouldn't know what to do.. Sorry for the loss, that's an intense story.

That's what happens when you deal with a non regulated currency such as Bitcoin. Scams and ponzis are all over it because of this fact. As for fiat, there are scams too, however they're less because the currency is backed and protected by the government (regulated). Just my opinion

Bitcoin is not meant to be solution to all the problems, it's meant to be an alternative to fiat. That means it could be used both for noble and for shady things. And that's OK.

if you're trying a site for the first time, why would you deposit 5.5btc into it? makes no sense
Because a fool and his money are quickly parted. Just because they have a lot of money does not mean they are smart. September 07, 2015, 10:08:16 AM
I have been scammed by Ponzi schemes too.
Bitcoin itself is a decentralized ponzi scheme!

I have been scammed by Ponzi schemes too. but I did not do anything about it. simply because I very well know what I was getting into , these Ponzi schemes are obviously full of risk and their ending is also clear so losing money is nothing strange.

Contact your local police to see if they can help you
This may be a disadvantage for using bitcoin because my country's law do not have law policy against bitcoin crime. So it means that our goverment tell us to use bitcoin with our own risk

Well I dont plan on getting scammed and am very careful in sending my bitcoin to people as I always insit on using an escrow but if I was scammed I would probably learn my lesson and put it down as an expensive lesson and reinvest

I think there is nothing we can do if we got scammed for that purpose here some hero members are providing escrow services better we use it to not be scammed again.
Yes, there is something you can do. I don't understand why people think the irreversibility of Bitcoin is a plus. The thing you can do is start making purchases using a credit card or debit card or payment service like Amazon Payments. All of those have fraud protection.
Reading about what Satoshi had in mind for bitcoin would support that. He says that a lot of transactions dont need the trust of a standard payment system like credit cards and we could use something different for that. So if you realy trust the one you are sending your money to you could use bitcoin. Or if the price of something is so low that you dont care you just use bitcoin.
Exactly, Bitcoin has a multitude of uses but sending $1,500 to a total stranger or unknown business isn't one of them. I hope, in time, several businesses spring up that will allow you to send insured/fraud protected Bitcoin transactions as easily as checking a box on your wallet app. Escrow is too clumsy and slow to be truly useful. Besides, escrow is no true guarantee because the escrow person might have a problem of some sort (like dying) while your transaction is in process. For now there are a lot of other options to fill in the gap.
