not just in the Philippines.
but still many other countries like that , education about cryptocurrency should be extended to the general public.
I had been a victim of that sort of thing before , but it makes me a valuable lesson to better understand cryptocurrency.
Rather than thinking about bitcoin is scam or whatever which make us not open to accept new techlogy, better we educate oursleve become knowing what is real about bitcoin and after we will more understand and make the right decision.
Earning money is not that easy like you said and its true. Investing in bitcoin is also not easy so its the same.
Who even cares ? Who even ends up getting scammed in a ponzi scheme must be dumb, stupid and greedy enough to have fallen for it, and it has nothing to do with bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Scam has always existed because there will always be those people who are so lazy to work and looking for shortcuts to everything in life only to end up getting what they deserved.
It has been on and people will keep falling. I remember the days of bitconnect when everyone keeps saying how it is a ponzi, some may almost want to skin you alive for saying that, but it seems most times, we really do not need to say much, as it is just better to just let them learn from their own stupidity.
