Surprisingly, a lot of newbies are in that category. Money is the primary motivation for most, and then easy trust becomes their major undoing. I had someone whom I talked to about cryptocurrencies and it took almost a year before they showed interest. When they did, they wanted me to hold the funds for them but I refused. While it's the modus operandi for most people bringing the knowledge of cryptos to others here to ask them to send them cash to invest for them, it's against my investment principle. I enlighten and open accounts for people which they will solely control. That way, you're sure no one controls it other than they by themselves. Newbies should be weary of those asking them to give them the cash to invest for them. Even when the cash is actually invested, they don't release the profit accurately to the investors.
