My worst mistake was giving my money to some scheme that I hadn't even heard of.
yeah, its better not to invest anywhere that is offering big returns because the risks of turning it to a scam are really high then and theres no need to take that much risk

i think that my worst mistake was when i decided to send my money to other person as a loan without any of his details, of course he didnt return anything to me, though that was just 13 dollars
I try not to, but a lot of other people go around glorifying these same exact schemes trying to make me think they're promising. Then again, they didn't try. They full blown succeeded.
Don't worry. A lot of these schemes actually don't last very long, and they definitely get reported. Most of the time, it's things like this that keep people away from Bitcoin.
Yeah. Seriously. It's a complete epidemic of issues where you don't know who to trust! No wonder Bitcoin is still a lousy $400 after almost a decade of being available to the public.
Well, we're cracking down on more and more schemes. The trust rating option actually gives people the opportunity to flag somebody you don't trust.
Mhm...about that...


That trust rank system can easily be occupied to ultimately do some abusive and unjustified marks for the simple fact that you dislike someone personally. I may or may not have seen it, but I definitely know what I'm discussing in this specific position here. I can already Invision it as an abuse of power, and everyone giving negative ratings or positive ratings to people inside or out of a clique.
Most of the time, people would get kicked off of that trust loop for abusing it so don't worry too much about that.
I'm sure they have multiple accounts they can use to still give negative ratings or positive ones.
