The issue of getting rich quick isn't something that many adopters take seriously, as they've come to believe it is the only way to make a quick profit.
Because it is true if it works. I don't see anything wrong in this belief. but the thing is not everyone can become rich like that. except some lucky people. this method won't work for rest.I recently stumbled upon a guy few days back who happens to be a anti-bitcoinist. He showed his frustration and condemned Bitcoin in a way that got my attention. I was eager to know why someone would have hatred for a life changing opportunity like Bitcoin, so I had to ask.
From his reply, he said he came across a Bitcoin mining website that was shared via a YouTube video. The mining site mines Bitcoin in small quantities, which he decided to buy some mining power to accumulate faster. He successfully purchased one of the mining power worth $80, but the site eventually shut down a week later without allowing any withdrawals.
His reply got me laughing because I quickly pointed out two things from what he said:
1. He was eager to get quick profit from an $80 investment but ended up getting scammed.
2. During my early days in crypto, I often came across these demo-like websites and have also fallen victim.
It was very clear to me that some ethusiast who promote Bitcoin don't talk about the risk part of it, while those who adopt Bitcoin on their own don't learn about the risk part of it.
I couldn't just leave him hanging with that mentality towards Bitcoin. I showed him some love by converting $10 worth of Bitcoin from my personal funds, sending it to him, and also sent him the BTT link so he can learn from a large Bitcoin community. I have done my part, and I repeat: there is no such thing as getting rich quick. I am glad he has joined the community, but wouldn't want to be mentioned.
Thanks for reading, and do well to share your opinion.
It is sad to know what happened with your friend. but he shouldn't blame Bitcoin for what he did. It was his stupidity to fall for an obvious scam like that. if he could've done little bit reserach about those cloud mining websites he would've find out immediately that it was a scam. but he was a newbie and naive so we give advantage of that.

I am glad that you helped him with little bit money and encouraged him to use bitcoin. I hope his trust will be restored and he'll start using bitcoin sensibly this time.
