Greed is the enemy of any investor, whether a beginner or an expert. .
Not just for investor but for all kind of things, to be precise in finance, its trading, gambling then investments any too much is risky and could end up in bad shape.

Quick money scheme should ve avoided, and high risk investment should considered with different matters. Most people considered bitcoin and crypto investments especially on meme tokens are considered as high risk investment.

  • Because of greed, some people gather money and build their portfolio and have tj lose all during the Christmas season because they are promised unrealistic returns.
  • Put one and receive two; sorry you have been scammed.
  • If $10 gave me $20, it means $1000 will give me $2000. Sorry you are about to lose it.
  • Someone is asking you to invest before today ends, if not the opportunity will slide. Please let the hasty opportunity slide.
Be cautious and stay safe.
Greed is the enemy of any investor, whether a beginner or an expert. Scammers await the most opportune times of the year when companies and platforms usually offer discounts and tempting offers to target beginners with investment opportunities that they will call "unmissable in 2025." through which they may achieve gains that they cannot imagine at normal times. They will also target them with phishing links for airdrops and fake giveaways for exchange platforms and popular companies, in addition to the memecoins that they will create specifically to coincide with the New Year, which will be unknown and new coins that they will try to promote widely to encourage these beginners to be early investors in them. Once this is done, they will disappear with their money, leaving worthless coins in the hands of their victims.

What the OP mentioned is valuable advice that must be taken seriously. At these times, one should not rush to make rash decisions, ignore all free money offers, and enjoy these celebrations and HODL Bitcoin safely.

Some people who are looking for a place to make quick profits on the short term will make the mistake of thinking that the crypto space is the place to make fast money. Little do they know that the crypto space is a hub for scammers and hackers, most of the crypto projects are scams but they'll be hyped like it's the investment that'll give returns on a very short term but it's to scam crypto ignorant people.

I've seen a lot of people that have lost their money investing in none reputable cryptocurrencies, some of these scams are promoted by top celebrities. I always tell newbies to concentrate on Bitcoin alone, after they've increased their knowledge about cryptocurrency, then they can consider altcoins. There are top altcoins that have built reputation but they have to DYOR and invest with the amount that they can afford to loose because most altcoins are gamble.

Greed is certainly not the only reason for failure on several occasions in investing, but there are many other reasons including the wrong mindset about how investing works. Insufficient knowledge and experience are also the reasons why they cannot generate returns commensurate with the risk, but on the other hand they want to get rich quickly. Some of them consider the high risk of investing, including investing in non-popular altcoins or altcoins that have low capitalization. Some of them succeed in this way, but many of them also lose.
Lack of knowledge is one reason. We've been there and done that and we're aware that it's the reason why we've lost a lot of money when we're still new.

And the misleading information of many influencers about how they look easy in making money when they're already established and comparing themselves to the newbies.

In short: avoid being greedy.

That's the main reason why many newbies are falling for those traps. They think that they've found some good investments that will generate them money easy and hassle-free.

But that's not what they know that these traps are set for them to fall. If they bite one, that will continue to suck the hard earned money that they've saved forever.
Non-crypto/Bitcoin and even related, this really applies in our lives. It's more likely a rule of money. Greed is always the reason why we fail or lose money. The best example is how Bitcoin came from its lowest to its peak price and still climbing, so if you are not being greedy along the road, for sure you are not losing money every dump happens.
Exactly. That's one of the general rule in life. While there are oligarchs that are greedy and makes a lot of money, there's still a return to them not financially but with their actual lives, if we believe in karma, that's what it explains it all.

If people (particularly newbies) listen to what is usually being discuss here, we would definitely have a minimal case of falling victim to cheap scams. Unfortunately, they turn deaf ears to all the warning and start running from one angle to another looking for help.

Greed is actually the genesis of most of the cases. They come here thinking that it's a shortcut to make easy money. If they now realised the reality, they'll now resort to looking for investment with high returns and eventually fall victim to scammers who are always on standby hunting for victims. If you can control your greed, you'll likely be saved from majority of the ongoing scams.
Many doesn't listen to the experienced ones and that's why they have to go through the harder way. But if just do, many will have to go through the better shortcut if they listen.

There are few that listens and they're the fortunate ones who are moving on better than newbies that don't listen.

Proverbs prove that where there’s win they will be also a risks involved, but not all the newbie’s understand they think that since there seeing a lot of peoples are gaining much profit when ever they invest; they think everything about the cryptocurrency is very easy.

Particular newbie’s who are introduced to the cryptocurrencies system as newly some are refuse to and make their own research about the Bitcointalk and how the cryptocurrency operates, that’s most of them fall in victim lose when they come to investment or any other patent to a cryptocurrencies stuff.

Just a friendly head guys.
Your first advice seems good to me but I am not comfortable with the second one. Quick money scheme sometimes comes in the form of Ponzi schemes where the organizers use other people's money to pay others. When they have collected a huge amount form people, the system will collapse and investors will lose money. Another kind of investment to avoid is the once that promises high returns within a short time. It is important to do your own research before investing in any project.

High-risk takers sometimes are lucky to make more profit. In business sometimes, the higher the risk the greater the profit. Bitcoin is a high risk investment, which is why many people avoid it. But those who are brave enough to take the risk are benefiting from it big time.

The more truth about this is that newbies come into this space mainly because of the inciting offers they hear they can get from bitcoin/crypto investment. And without further details about them, they jump into the game hoping to have a very big benefit in the end after their investment. When it sounds too easy to make it, it is now worth investing into and many loopholes may be in them. There is no free money or get rich quick scheme anywhere, when someone says that, it means they’re trying to indulge you into a risk that you may not be able to afford. Research and further asking about a project is necessary in order not to fall in a regretful state.

Newbies can actually avoid being too greedy and even remove the thoughts of getting rich quickly from their minds, yet they may still get into trouble with their investment if they do not know all they need to know about that particular cryptocurrency they are investing in. I have read on blogs and on social media about how some persons have lost their savings both in crypto and in fiat to scammers.  All these was made very easy and Possible to scammers because these newbies were only interested in investing and didn't pay attention to many other Possible ways they can lose their investments.

Newbies should understand that it is not enough to invest in crypto and relax hoping for returns in the nearest future, they should follow up with updates, read and stay alert because they will need every information they get to help them make only the right decisions and stay out of trouble too.

Be greedy and get nothing in return at the end of the chase, the more they are running after winning or profits the more it's becoming a nightmare for them to get it, being a newbie, you know nothing and what should be running on your mind is not the money making grounds, but the knowledge which will be an opener to making money later in the future, but many of them wouldn't like the go through the process but wants the end result while they have done nothing to deserve it, we have a lot of work to do in mentoring for those who are new to bitcoin and bitcointalk, but anyone who is ready and willing to learn will definitely see the benefits therein, when they also know it, they can be able to impact on other newbies who may rely on them for knowledge source the way everyone of us might have started.

Quick money scheme

often newbies are exposed to quick money schemes because they have the wrong mindset on investing. they are too naive and innocent and think that they can earn thousands of dollars in a month just if they invest in a certain project. there have been many cases where newbies were scammed just because they were promised high returns. newbies should be able to see a token clearly without being affected by high returns. they should see how the token's use case, whitepaper, and how it performs in the market.

there are too many scam projects in the market with the promise of high returns, newbies should learn more and think smarter so that they can avoid scams.

Patience and hard work are the keys to success.
Your advice, though in the early stages, is meaningful. The temptation to make quick profits in the crypto world often leads to the most harm. Crypto is not a scheme for getting rich quickly, where you can place your money in risky investments and expect to become wealthy overnight. Risky investments refer to things like shitcoins or short-term investments. These types of investments carry the highest risks, and shitcoin investment is almost akin to gambling.

As a beginner, you should never get involved with shitcoins. You may come across enticing advertisements about shitcoins on various social media platforms. If you’re planning to become rich quickly by investing in such risky ventures after seeing these fraudulent ads, I strongly advise you to be cautious. There’s another kind of fraudulent ad related to gambling. These ads promote schemes to get rich quickly, but I believe they are just traps to make people poor. As a newcomer, my special advice to you is to avoid these temptations and force yourself to think critically.

For you to be successful in life you need to take a risk neither the risk you want to take is a low one and the higher one so what you know is that in a risk taker is liable to become rich when it was not expected and the same thing is applicable for you not to be profited when it is not the time, so as a cryptocurrency investor you need to take the risk but I will not advise you or encourage you to take a risk of blind person, so whenever you are taking a list to make sure that you think of the advantages and the disadvantages of it so that when the disadvantages occur, you will not be depressed because of what experience that is why we need to be informed properly for who venture into anything you want to do

What risks are you talking about? The idea that before investing somewhere, you need to know the subject of investment has been discussed a thousand times on the forum. It will also not be risky if you correctly calculate all the funds that you invest and are sure that you can do without them for a long time. The one who purposefully studies all aspects of his future business and only then opens it succeeds. Taking risks, you are unlikely to make a profit, since it is comparable to gambling. Although I suspect that you want to succeed by playing, that's why you suggest risking everything.

I don't disagree with what you want people to avoid as to not get scammed. I appreciate your friendly reminder but in my opinion is that you should also add this one which is "DON'T BE GREEDY". The reason why I said that it should be included is that if people are getting greedy then the friendly reminder you listed won't help since the people who saw it are already driven by greed so it will be useless when it will happen to whoever is greedy to earn lots of money when it's a scam.

Im fine with the quick money scheme to be peel off but high risk investment. Well for newbie its fine, but for those who are willing to risk and do some homework for the high risk type and potentially gain a huge profit then this is the major move. Well Im a risky guy when it comes to web3 earning. Sometimes, Id like to see it try and when it boom, and thats it gained so good profit. Newbies need to learn first and if they can handle all headache, emotions and even the hardest part maybe they could do those high risk investment.
Sometimes high risk investments actually turn out to be of huge positive effect infact in most cases, the higher the risk the bigger the returns however that's actually where to concept of taking smart and calculated risks come into play. There is a huge difference between risking big  and taking a calculated high risk investments.
Where the problem actually lies most of the time is that they are taking risks without calculating and end up putting their chances on hope which may not turn at positively especially since most times it's based on a 50 / 50 chance of win or loss.

Not just newbies but, the part that has to do with gambling is not necessary, let people make their choice concerning what they want. I understand that fact a lot of people will not be able to accumulate frequently due to gambling activity no doubt. There’s no free money when dealing with crypto not just crypto generally in terms of everything associated with money, if it were this easy everyone will enjoy crypto benefit without spending a dime. No one is above mistake and it’s a major fact, during this festive season I know a lot of crypto programs and activity will be taking place yet I prefer being careful.
