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. It still saddens me to see that some adopters in our community have taken the wrong step towards Bitcoin investment.

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.

We all learn from our mistakes. Getting rich quick is not an easy job especially when you are new to a field.

This is happening for once in every million or more so if you turns to be one then you re the luckiest person on earth at least that time.

It's common to fall for such get rich quick schemes as a newbie but that's how we learn.

Learning from our mistakes , people does not care learning instead that is because they are just to earn and sadly not to learn and this is why they are falling from those traps.

I would rather say that he learnt his lesson by paying $80 as a fees. Now that he has got scammed once, may be he will pay more attention the next time.

hoping that this will be His attitude now.
