Beginner investors sometimes too rush because they were tempting with profit share from some of investment sites and they should be learn more that there is no too good to be true in the real investment and avoid the investment which offering high of profit share because this is obviously scam
It is true. Ordinary people are always tempted by quick and instant profits if they lose they just blame and say that cryptocurrency is dangerous, even though the fact is not the case. Insufficient knowledge causes this.
they easily blame cryptocurrency market , meanwhile they didn't prepare their self well before joining in this market.as investors they have to understand risk involved.and dont only talk about profits but also about loss.understanding loss more difficult than get profits.

I remembered my co-worker invested in an online "double your money" scheme in one website. I have warned him but he never listened to me and he deposited btc into that website. After two weeks, the site shut down.

See? We have to be careful in every decisions, not because there is a big returns, big profits. The more too good to be true, the more we should think twice.
if any program give us double profits in short time, i am sure this is using ponzi scheme.while there is no more people joined they have no money to pay members profits.and people join lately will suffered loss and money that used to pay member that joined in early.

I'm here to share cautioning to amateurs on here that are urgent to profit on the web,a large number of you all have no tolerance and at whatever point you see an opportunity alike you choose to take the shot

Well I don't have a clue on the off chance that you've all found out about High Yield Investment Platform,they guide you to store some sum and the platform will twofold your coins for you just in couple of days or week

Accept my recommendation and safe yourself some mistake,its a PYRAMID SCHEME everything they do is taking from one to bolster the other until they've had enough to close down the platform a word is sufficient for the insightful,do not be a greedy fellow.

If you are a newbie coming in the market, then you should check Bitconnectcoin thread it's one of the largest Ponzi schemes in the crypto world,
Ponzi scheme and MLM has invaded Cryptocurrency, and this is something that we should guard ourselves.

Check if there is a product involved, check if they are offering incentives for investing your coin in their plan for a specific period of time, check who are the people running the project and their history.

every coin should have a platform behind it but not an investment plan that will yield you profit for a specific period f time.

I think that investing in projects that offer more than 7%-8% per month is risky. It is not surprising that many fail. Greed encourages them to invest in risky projects. But if you do not take the time to study the project, then the risk of losing your money increases and this is natural.

Your Data Belongs To You
This is TRUE!

I strongly suggest to follow this advice!
I can recall several highly popular ICO projects who offered high ROIs from their platforms and then shortly after that disappeared or tanked because they where scams.

It is good to stay away from not only too good to be good investment but also investments in sectors or industries you don't know because there is higher possibility that you will lose your hard earned money. So it is better to research and have good knowledge of where you are investing in.

But unfortunately, we don't know which project is good or bad, and we could only know in the middle of the running of the project. Many good project has become a scam, and we already know that. We could only prevent to use big money to invest in the project to avoid the scam which could happen in anytime. We don't know what will happen with the project in the future, and if we can control the money we used, we can be safe from the scammers.

I've studied that too good to real investments can be ponzi or red flag that's why you don't have to rush into investment in cryptocurrency. You need to take your time so you don't get carried away by the offer they are giving. Let's be careful when investing in cryptocurrency.

Too good to be real investment are [colo r=red]RED FLAG[/color] only for those who thinks deeply,they arent greedy and they understand what been fair means,many newbies coming into this space without learning are those falling victims to 'too good to be real investments'.

To earn profits from Mining you must have spend thousands of dollars on mining rigs not to talk of someone who wants to offer you some unrealistic profits with no actual working product backing it up.
You know that not everyone that is created to reason straight, we have so many people that have very shallow thinking, and they would believe or take anything that is being presented to them, while we have the smart ones that would first take the project and take a look at it deeply to see if whatever is being said makes sense or not.

This is why we have to just be there for our brothers too, like the op shared, we need to keep  making them reason well, and also advising them against any project that we fill is not right for them to fall into. I also don’t know how people would think that it will be easy for anyone to get mining of products that easy. Even there is still so much risk if you set up the real one and use heavy money, and not to talk of these cloud mining coins.

So many newbies coming here looking for profit, they all want to make a profit, because they have been educated to think that Cryptocurrency is all about profit when a Bull run comes, never doing planning or learning to find a good project that they will support and use their platform.

Generally from my experiences, if a crypto project offers unrealistic bounty pool or goals, it is highly likely to be a fake project. So we investors and bounty hunters need to look practical promises offered by bounty projects. So for that we need to research first before going for them. Only then we can save ourselves from fraud.

Yes you are right make sure that you understand the offer. If the offer is too good make a second review if it is feasible or even possible. Remember that every project is also a business they need also an income. And if you will have a very good income how about their company or project. So it may fall in a fraud or scam investment.

It is better to invest in bitcoin than HYIPs there is no legit HYIPs nowadays they are scam.. I agree to OP that stay away with these kind of investments.
Even before, those HYIPS were a total scam. They don't have any intention to help their investors and all they do is attract and have an exit when they've collected huge amount of money.

But nowadays, the good news is that many are aware of their scam tactic. And it's very easy to determine if the website that you're interested with is a sort of HYIP or any other scam investment scheme.

So many too good to be real investments these days and im actually referring it as a platform that aimed to develop the non sense idea that can be called as a too good to be real as an investment.
But it's not always related to the ponzi scheme but some times it refers to the scammy ico too.
This is the difficult part to choose the investment.
Agree, those investments that just take investors money as pay in and becomes payouts to those who joined first.. That's the cycle of like a ponzi scheme investments... If the group doesn't have enough payins there was no payouts then.. As of today, they use bitcoin and crypto trading as a source of payouts but the truth is, it is only their front.. After, collecting people's investment they will already tell a lot of excuses until no payouts for the people.. And at the end, turns scams already.. Pity those people who joined in this like investments...

We see that only good profits now can be made only on Bitcoin. Other coins are waiting for pump, but it is really worth it? Waiting for a pump when Bircoim is pumping everyday?
not only bitcoin, there are still many altcoins that have very good price fluctuations in the bear market, for example ethereum and BNB, both of which cannot be said to fall, they can still be very promising investments.
yes, this year ETH did not show a good price movement. especially when bitcoin goes down, ETH is also very difficult to develop. this market is currently very weak at the adoption of more crypto. too few are new crypto buyers. most traders only stabilize market prices.

Bitcoin price has risen 200% in the past five months. It's a sign the market is still attractive for investors and there are many buyers. There are many people believe that altcoins will start to rise soon.

New investors are usually tempted by the great benefits offered in new projects, who would have thought it was just a scam project. lack of research and experience are the main factors causing it. If the value is far from the normal limit offered, stay away from the project.
It is true, the large profits offered by investment make the interest of novice investors interested regardless of the quality and target of the project. research needs to be done on the project starting from the type of project and its objectives, TEAM, whitepaper and support or partnet of the project. if not vigilant it will be trapped in fake or SCAM project investments

These are the typical scam in the crypto scheme although it's known for those people who have been in the forum for a while.

  • High yield investment program
  • Cloud mining - many have been using this scheme to scam
  • Many ICO
  • And any investment scheme that guarantees profit without source of income

What do you think about Crypto.com (CRO but was MCO before) and their Earn program? I think it is a bit suspect. How can they guarantee interests on cryptos you deposit in their wallet? And the interests are not small. It looks a little bit like Bitconnect, but with less interest. But it is still suspect. They are the number 28 coin at coinmarketcap. They also have a Loan program, how can they not make any credit check?

I have the same sentiments. I was initially going to buy some MCO but I stopped after doing further research and I was not able to find a sustainable source of revenue for them.

For example
Scammers are humans too,they are fully aware of investors greediness and they know exact how to take advantage of the greeds,thats why we see many bounty projects showing off big million dollars rewards on their bounty ANN pages to lure promoters even when they know that the chances are very slim
Big millions reward doesn't make sense for me personally. But this time it looks like that way doesn't work again to attract the promoters because this time the promoters are seeing the campaign from the quality of the project and it's not about quantity how much money will be spent to run the campaign.

If a project already looks like a pyramid scheme, why then venture into it. All projects that have such quality have failed their investors. So only a noob will invest into such.
Then there are certain promises that are not feasible. Which means you also need to do the feasibility study of the product. Ask how the project team intends to achieve their goal(s).

Our population is too much to have people that will reason alike, and despite all your warning, we will keep having people that likes to take risk and those projects that looks too good to be true are the ones that they like to go for the most, which is why I think that experience will be the best teacher to teach them and let them understand what you are saying.

Naturally, people should know by now that we have so many scam projects in the market which they need to be very careful of so that they dint fall victim of them and the best way to be careful of these projects if they cannot do research is to completely abstain from them and then invest more on some of the most popular reliable coins like bitcoin and the rest, but they rather prefer all these cheap project that are nothing but HYIP schemes.

That is the problem of human being. We would like to get rich as quick as possible so every time when we see an opportunity, we invest before we do some deep research about it.
You are right,the fact is no matter how good a project proposal might be there will always be more that meets the eye,i think the problem is greediness lives in all of us and many dont know how to control the thirst of their greed.

we have projects with good rewards especially the POS projects but the ones that looks legit to me will never boost of a fixed return,for example there should always be fluctuations in rewards

To be honest i see so many scam projects around and somehow few of them are able to survive for many months now which is kind of strange but also shows their popularity. Some of them are working in the name of cloud mining, some are working in the name of automated or arbitrage trading and similar other things but we have to understand that if they are not posting the performance report regularly then they are most probably scam and running ponzi scheme.

It's sad to know that crypto enthusiasts still participate in crypto ponzi schemes,  all in the name of investments. I saw a platform today on telegram, they accept BTC, ETH, BCH, XLM and do fake testimonies in their group.  It looks like a big joke to me but funny enough some people still put in their hard earned money in such schemes, that's what greed can cause. Do not fall prey to scam crypto investments, taking risk is OK but it must be calculated risk.

Well, if they fall for those bullshit "too good to be true" offers, then they deserve to get scammed. They got greedy and greed has thrown them into a trap.
People with common sense know that all these high yield investment program are just pure scam. They know that they get paid with other peoples money who invested on that HYIP. They also know that people who join early are the ones who make the profit and the ones joining late gets scammed. Even after knowing all these they join with a risk in order to make some quick profit. They only complain and act innocent after getting scammed/unlucky.

Usually the one's who get caught up in projects like this are unwary and uneducated to the world of investments. If you think someone or something is worthy of your money, then there should be absolutely no question about the integrity of such a thing you're investing in.

There are only 2 types of crypto projects that linger in crypto, those who want to build the business and those whom are in for get-quick-rich schemes. There's no in-between, every project that has come into existence can be classified as one or the other.

What's been stated in this thread is an excellent start, but always keep the golden rule with you at all times, DYOR.

Investors need to look up how and from where the returns are to come. If you are investing in a casino bankroll, you'll know your profit or loss would be depended on the loss and win of players. When you invest in a lending platform like NEXO, Compound Finance and Celsius, you know you'll be get paid of interest from the borrowers. If you are not sure where the profit are coming from, it's too risky to trust.
