Cryptocurrency industry is an industry like other industries that need caution from the players. It was yesterday, one of the members of a WhatsApp group i belong made series of comment, and in all his posts he said Bitcoin is a ponzi Schem, people doing btc are thieves.
Well, as a crypto expert (to an extent) i knew what has happened to him and i needed to educate him on what he should know about bitcon. I asked him what was his basis for this kind of derogatory comments, he said i should never mind, i later gathered that he gave his money to another person to invest in crypto and the person screwed him.
I tried to explain and educate him with the following;
1. How to invest in bitcoin.
2. the importance of trading or investing yourself.
3. why Holding and Timing are very important.
4. why it is scary to entrust your cash into someone.
5. Why knowledge is one of the most important tool you need in this industry.
He later admitted that he made a mistake.
If you were in my shoe, what would you've told a person that says bitcoin is a ponzi scheme created to scam people?
Most of the time I would just let them think what they want but sometimes I would also defend it.
It is just tiring to defend it to almost everyone who would tell you that it is a scam.
Back in 2018 when I lost most of my money due to investing in BTC peak price in 2017 I would always hear that it is a scam so I would just ignore them.
