I’m talking from personal experience where someone was very irresponsible and lost a significant amount of coins, and then I was the one who was most responsible for it - because I made someone deal with it at all - it’s that classic accusation “that you didn’t mention Bitcoin, I wouldn't lose money". I paid a loss out of my own pocket for someone not to blame me for something my whole life, but this is the last time I will allow myself something like that.
Sad story. The lesson should be to tell people clearly (and emphasize too!) that it's completely their decision for what they do with their money, whether you do this online or in real life.
I will not exaggerate if I say that from my personal experience at least 90% of people are not ready to be their own bank, and anyway they are only interested in how to profit, preferably in a very short time.
100% correct. And most people prefer to blame anybody else than themselves when something goes wrong.
I made a decision a long time ago, I will not help anyone to invest in crypto if that person does not understand some basic things before, and if they will keep their coins online or in a mobile/desktop wallet on devices they use every day for various activities. Then it's just a question of when something bad will happen, and then it's usually someone else's fault that it happened.
For newbies I lately recommend HW exactly because of this. Then the chance that the blame is on me decreases greatly.
