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.

Give all before death
Avoid these two things and you will be fine


: Quick money scheme


: High-risk investments

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.

First of all, I like to welcome everyone and wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄.


Now back to the purpose of this thread, as a newbie to Bitcointalk and cryptocurrency, you have to build yourself in terms of abilities and resilience in every aspect of the way, the two enemies of your journey are the quest to get quick profits and free money and this pushes you into gambling with your money instead accumulating Bitcoin.

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.

I was about disagreeing with you until I saw the last part of your reply because not all risks are worth talking. There are risks that can be seen as uncalculated and those aren't the risks we should be taking.

Risk that are 50/50 are more like gambling than investing. There are risks that your chances of succeeding increase which are calculated risks and those are the ones we should be investing into.

The industry has lots of uncalculated risks and they usually ends up as scams and you can find them with projects riding the trends of the seasons. Investing in newer launched projects can be seen as a good decision until it doesn't favour you again.

Investing in quick money schemes in the industry can be seen as wise decisions until you become the exit liquidity, that's why you should stay away from them.

Newbies are more vulnerable than experienced crypto users that's why topics related to crypto scam is being repeated on Beginners&Help for newbies and veterans to be on the safer side.I think one of my cliches in the crypto space is Avoid projects that are too good to be true.Quick money schemes are just too good to be true so the best I can do is to avoid them.There's this article I came across on the internet that will educate newbies on crypto scam(The CryptoCurrency Scambook).When you're exposed to those scams you'll become less vulnerable on the crypto space.Everyone on the internet ought to be extremely cautious because scammers ain't joking with nobody, they're are inhumane,few days back I read an article on the internet,an Oklahoma woman with parkinson's disease was duped $20,000 in Bitcoin.
I don't think the quest for money would push an individual to go into gambling.Gambling is not a source of income,it more of entertainment and fun.So those that don't know the purpose of gambling will end up losing their money and become addicted to it.Bitcoin has grown past the stage where it should be considered as a high risk investment expect you're referring to shitcoins then I'll agree.

I couldn't agree more, I'm gonna make a conclusion for your statement and add my own opinion. To put it simply, do your own research before we decided to put our money on something, asking for a second or third opinion is totally okay, but the decision should come from our own as we cannot blame anyone if something bad happen to us. That's the very generic suggestion that we should give to newbies and for the specific details could follow  @Fiasem20 explanations here. Always be cautions to anything and anyone. and can never be too cautious, be a skeptic one while maintaining an open-mind.

Lastly, the amount in investment is also very right, but the question is, is it better to invest the amount you can afford to let go for a long period or to make sure you invest in assets on Bitcoin when the price is low?
Investment is long term and with investment, you afford to lose your money, and don't plan to use it for a long time. The first one is easy, but the second one needs very good financial and capital management. You only can meet the second condition if you don't use all money to invest and bet in Bitcoin, because with empty pocket after purchasing Bitcoin, your mentality will be very weak with market volatility. In addition with empty pocket, you will have big troubles in emergency like you have to borrow money or sell your bitcoin.

In emergency, you might have to sell your bitcoin at loss, that you don't want. Purchasing at low price or high price is not too important with long term investor, because price can fall down more after your entry.

These are good tips to avoid old school scammers but scams have evolved so that following the old rules is no 100% guarantee that you won't get scammed. The best solution is to be skeptical, ask here if you're not convinced by the answer and try not to invest money that you need in the next 6 months.
The first and foremost characteristic to exhibit when being offered some good ideas and investment suggestions is always be skeptical because being skeptical and asking for clarity will expose a lot about the investment, whether or not it they legit or a scam.


Lastly, the amount in investment is also very right, but the question is, is it better to invest the amount you can afford to let go for a long period or to make sure you invest in assets on Bitcoin when the price is low?


From reality check, those who bought Bitcoin and held it in their wallet but bought those Bitcoin when the price was at an all-time high and the price crashed half the price will have more challenges even though they bought Bitcoin with the amount they can afford to let go for a while, compared to someone that have accurate calculations of the price before buying and buying at a low price even if he risks the money for an important thing in a short time frame.

These are good tips to avoid old school scammers but scams have evolved so that following the old rules is no 100% guarantee that you won't get scammed.
Scammers evolve their scam strategies and methods with time but I can see that fundamentals of their new scam methods are not different than previous methods. People if can learn from common scam methods, even old ones, can avoid many modern scams.

Today, scammers use new technologies to paint a colorful picture of the future of their victims. People are provided with information that looks like a feasible and workable scheme, following the rules of which clients will supposedly receive a quick profit
They write very nice white papers, and decorate them with many potentiality of projects, promise bright future for investors and if investors believe in these promises, they will be scammed. If they were scammed in the past, now are scammed again, they have to sit down and think of themselves, like why they didn't change.

As a newbie in the crypto space, it's better that you only invest in bitcoin and forget about any coin.
Bitcoin is best for investors, and with newbies Bitcoin is more like a golden chance for them to get profit without pain. If newbies ignore Bitcoin, but invest in altcoins, pains can be deadly, and won't be easy to overcome.

Two types of altcoins with Oscillators and Degenerators. If you invest in Degenerator altcoins, you are done because loss will be bigger with time.

As a newbie in the crypto space, it's better that you only invest in bitcoin and forget about any coin. You should also have a long term investment goal and don't use the money for important things to invest in bitcoin because it's not a get rich quick scheme, since bitcoin investment is for the future and not for the moment.

Trading is also risky, it will be better if you avoid it, because that's another way you can lose your coin if you don't have a good trading skill. Scam is everywhere and that of crypto is very easy, so be careful and keep your funds safe in a noncustodial wallet.

It depends on what kind of investor you are. If you are only focused long term and you want to bet for the ideal, then 100% Bitcoin can be good for you, but there may be more speculative and risk oriented investors for whom investing a percentage in altcoins (main alts or shitcoins, to everyone's taste) can be more entertaining.

Of course, investing all your money in get rich quick schemes is a bad idea, but allocating a little part in alts with great potential can be a good strategy in the short term if they pump.

I think this advise is not only for newbie, I think is for the general community. Of course cryptocurrency required proper knowledge and patience and we should always remove the mindset of getting quick profit because as long as I know Bitcoin investment is not a get rich quick scheme it required time for you to get something out of it. However, in all Bitcoin investment is always the always best, because is more reliable than other investment just buy enough Bitcoin and hold for a long period of time.

I don't think this advise is for only newbie op, because I have seen many old members taking a high risk that will make them to commit crime for people to condemn cryptocurrency, which is not the fault of cryptocurrency just that the user took a high risk on cryptocurrency investment.  I know some newbies will ignore this your advise for now until they experience losses from the quick way they embark to make money before they will realize this advise you gave for newbies not to fall victim till they will retire from Bitcointalk or cryptocurrency investment .

When you invest what you can afford to lose in cryptocurrency, you will surely be fine through out your cryptocurrency investment because you will not have anything that will put you into depression, because you know that you can hodl the cryptocurrency for long years before you can decide to sell to earn profit in the future, secondly, when you avoid high risk in cryptocurrency investment, you will surely know how to apply patient in the industry to earn what other people are earning.

Crypto is not a quick money scheme and a high risk investment so people must learn before they decide. They don't have to get tempt with many things they see in their social media because that will not always right. Investing in crypto needs time before you can make a profit so you need to have patience and you can choose Bitcoin as your investment.

That advice will not just for newbie but also for others who involve in crypto from some time. They can not always expecting to make a profit in shortly because we don't know when the price will increases.

This is the only problem that I think people cannot control greed, in the beginning, if a new investor invests in Bitcoin and sees or gains some benefits, that holder immediately sells Bitcoin. All these people spend the most time in regret at the last moment, because later they buy Altcoin hoping to get more and more profits, and immediately invest all the money with $1400 and now they are left with $630 and lose all the rest of the money.
This is my real experience, such an incident happened to my neighbor. And at the last moment I have solved it that if you want to survive by just holding, then only Bitcoin will survive. Bitcoin is the only last hope, the possibility of loss from here is very low, if you keep it for a long time, there will be more benefits but the possibility of loss is the least.

Thanks for the advice to newbies as I think it’s already a very timely one.
Another way to put this talk is simply to say, avoid being so greedy
Over the time, I’ve got to notice that, one major thing the newbies both in the cryptocurrency industry and the bitcointalk community faces the most is greed as they all want to grab all the profits at once.

Personally, the forum and cryptocurrency at large has thought me one thing that, patience is virtue and as such, I rather do a proper calculation over a hasty decision to make abnormal profits all at once.

Not just the newbies alone, it's a basic idea that every investor should have in mind.

Bitcoin is not a quick rich scheme, anyone who begins the journey needs to activate other sources of income and not depend on the profits to be generated from the investment.

No one should conclude Bitcoin as a high risk investment except when dealing with other cryptocurrencies in the market. Those who prefer trading should also consider risk tolerance when doing their activities unlike the holders who should worry less about those changes, the purpose there is to purchase and hold for the long run until when it is due for profits.

I agree with the fact that, not just the newbies but also everyone should be constantly reminded
But I think I have to correct your last paragraph and make it clear that cryptocurrency is a risky investment regardless of which ever coin you decide to hold that’s why, it is always advisable to use only the funds you can afford to lose.

Every form of investment is risky; you just have to do your research and know how to reduce the risk while you chase profit. Bitcoin has been proven to be one of the safest when it comes to trusting your money with it for the long term, but there is nothing bad about someone also doing their research and diverting some of their funds into other digital assets that can yield them profit.
 
The rules are: don't be too greedy; invest what you can afford; don't expect a high ROI in a short period of time; if you want to harvest with a large profit, be ready to hold your coin for decades.

Newbies have to decide if they're going to be successful or become a failure that they won't take proper advantage of the opportunity that the industry has to become wealthy. Quick money scheme aren't the best way to make money and they come in various methods but they have the same promises of making you rich with in a short duration but that isn't what investing should be all about.

Quick money are attribute of gambling and you shouldn't be gambling when you say you want to become an investors. The scams and quick money scheme aren't hidden, they're right there if we choose to see them because people just decide not to act like they see them but they're everywhere. Stay away from them will do you more good because they don't have good ending but filled with bad ending. Take it easy and keep accumulating Bitcoin and you too will get your payday.

And when people say "gambling with your money" doesn't only mean casino and sports betting. When you're out there putting money into every shitcoin you come across hoping that it will give you 100x profit, that's gambling. When you're investing in memecoins and hoping that one will turn you into a millionaire, that's gambling. It's gambling because you just have a feeling it will pump and most times if you look at the indicators that make you believe it will pump you'll understand that it's just gambling in a different form.

People may argue that there are people who have made millions out of memes, but I can also argue that there are people who have millions out of casino gambling and sports betting.
You can go into memes if you want, as long as you treat it like what it actually is; gambling. Set ut a certain percentage of your income for it ad dot go above the percentage or else you might wreck yourself in the pursuit of happiness.

Avoid these two things and you will be fine


: Quick money scheme


: High-risk investments

Just a friendly head guys.

This actually goes beyond newbies to be honest. Quick money and High-risk investments ought to be a red flag for everyone especially in the crypto space where falling for scams coin and token are really easy.
Many believe in luck and has gamble more than they can afford to lost, thereby ending in a terrible mess that may have cost them a lot to get out from.
High-risk investments and Quick money scheme are often interesting to many who are either greedy or newbie on that aspect and that's why we can see hear of people falling for ponzi scheme, cloud mining and every others. We should be wise, if it is too good to be true then it is a scam especially this Christmas period.
