The issue of getting rich quick isn't something that many adopters take seriously, as they've come to believe it is the only way to make a quick profit. It still saddens me to see that some adopters in our community have taken the wrong step towards Bitcoin investment.
It cannot be denied that currently there are still many Bitcoin investors (beginners) who have an inaccurate perspective. Most likely all of this is because these investors do not have sufficient knowledge about the ins and outs of bitcoin investment. As a result, people like that will definitely think that Bitcoin is an asset that can make them rich quickly and has no risks. In reality, Bitcoin cannot make investors rich within a month or two. But it takes years to get it. Apart from that, if anyone thinks that Bitcoin has no risks, that is wrong. Because after all Bitcoin still has risks. So this is where it is important to learn first before starting something like investing in bitcoin. Because if you don't start with sufficient knowledge, you are afraid it will hinder the investment process and could also result in losses.

From his reply, he said he came across a Bitcoin mining website that was shared via a YouTube video. The mining site mines Bitcoin in small quantities, which he decided to buy some mining power to accumulate faster. He successfully purchased one of the mining power worth $80, but the site eventually shut down a week later without allowing any withdrawals.
Seeking knowledge and learning about bitcoin must also have very good filtering of the information we are looking for. Because sometimes there are many fraudsters who have many strategies and one of them is a strategy that is sweet at the beginning and bitter at the end. So in essence, when looking for information related to Bitcoin, don't be easily tempted by practical things. However, look for information and knowledge related to basic science. And don't be immediately tempted by results/profits.

I showed him some love by converting $10 worth of Bitcoin from my personal funds, sending it to him, and also sent him the BTT link so he can learn from a large Bitcoin community. I have done my part, and I repeat: there is no such thing as getting rich quick. I am glad he has joined the community, but wouldn't want to be mentioned.
Thanks for reading, and do well to share your opinion.
The steps you took are very generous, my friend. Indirectly, I can read that you feel sorry for that person, but at the same time you also maintain Bitcoin's good image. Because if you give bitcoin to that person, at least he will have a positive view of bitcoin. And by telling the person how to expand his bitcoin knowledge by joining these BTT forums, it is indeed a better move than YouTube or other platforms.
