MANILA - An investor who saw a 39,000-percent increase in his bitcoin investment warned on Monday that many cryptocurrency investment schemes right now are scams.
Emerson Fonseca, Philippine head of NEM Foundation, told ANC's Market Edge that since he started trading bitcoin 2 years ago, a lot of scams have cropped up because people don't understand cryptocurrencies.
What are your opinions?
Even before the cryptocurrencies have come into existence, online programs such as PTC and HYIP are scammers money-making-machines so it's not new anymore. Scammers are just everywhere. They just follow trends and cryptocurrency is hot nowadays so expect them to be in the limelight too playing their games and just waiting for someone with a little knowledge in crypto to be trapped into their baits. So, before attempting to invest in crypto you have to educate yourself first as much knowledge as you can and know how to protect yourself from scammers.
