Dear OP I'm sorry but it seems like you've been scammed.
Once a transaction has been made and has been received by the address, it can't be recovered.

But just out of curiosity, what's the name of the website

Dear OP as a fellow newbie I'd advise to stick to reading post and engaging in the comment sections than making actually posts.

Sure you should make valuable posts once in a while but the should be more or questions or discussion than teaching. That's a mistake I made when I joined the forum. Stick to this and you'll be golden .

Welcome OP, first step you should do Is to search for beginners threads on this forum, make and engage in valuable threads and you're welcome.
Once again, welcome

I don't think Africa depends on Ukraine for anything. We'll only have an issue if the US decides to interfere in the conflict.

If the US economy is affected by the war then Africa will be affected too.

OP first of all you should learn to arrange your post with enough spaces for easy reading. I had a difficult time reading you post to the end, I'm pretty sure I skipped a few things.

Now back to your question, yes it's true as the price of bitcoin increases, gas fees increases too. There's no avoiding that.

Although you can always consider customizing your fee or batching multiple transactions into a single transaction or timing your transactions during periods of lower network.

Internet isn't a limitation to bitcoin. Internet is an integral part of bitcoin and Bitcoin would be nothing without it. So saying internet is a limitation of bitcoin is a huge fallacy.

Whatever plight you might be facing lies with your government and not internet.

The only advise I can offer it's to get a reliable VPN for internet access in other countries

First of all, it feels like you made this post based on what someone told you and not from personal experience.

Secondly, what do you mean by bitcoin Is a lifestyle? I'd appreciate if you explain it better

Thirdly, it's quite obvious you don't have any experience in bitcoin if not you wouldn't have made this post so I'll just leave this for you. Bitcoin isn't all rainbows and sunshine as this your post makes it out to be, it can be really stressful.

You're talking about trading like it's some nursery rhymes lmao. I'd advise you to chill and actually get an experience from bitcoin before making posts like this .

Bitcoin isn't ALWAYS IN A STATE OF BULL RUN, I don't know where you heard that.

Bitcoin bull run is basically the price of bitcoin increasing exponentially In a particular period of time. Like bitcoin rising from 16k 30k.

The fact that bitcoin can increase almost 1.6 times it's initial price also means that it could fall too.

Meme coins.....you mean Ponzi schemes?. These scams have been around for a long time now, it nothing new. They're alot of threads on this topic already made on this forum so once again, it's nothing new.

I saw a thread on this forum where someone predicted the next bull run to be sometime around mid 2024, I'm still yet to make research on this.

I don't know, but I don't really see bitcoin going any lower than 25k. So people that are waiting on bitcoin to drop are just wasting their time. The next bull run I coming soon, and bitcoin will continue to rise gradually till that time.

It's 2023, I don't think anyone still thinks bitcoin is coin, most people are just not interested due to a myriad of reasons.

And yes I agree with you, from the predictions I've been seeing online, the next bull run will really shock most people. Especially those that are sleeping on bitcoin

I disagree with this, this advice shouldn't be for altcoin investors as it applies it's to bitcoin too. Making due research is an integral part of crypto for both bitcoin and altcoin investors.

Yes!, it's always worth to start bitcoin mining, as long as you have the right resources. And what are the right resources?

1) Enough capital

2) A stable power supply. I think this is the most important of them all.

3) The right hardware and technical expertise to handle them.

If you don't have any of these mentioned above, or have two out of the three......then do not engage in bitcoin mining for its most likely that you'll regret it .

If you have enough money then you can go focus on mining Bitcoin. Beware!, there are alot of risks, it is more complex than regular bitcoin trading and requires alot of maintenance too. So make your research and choose the one the suits you more .

As long as there's money I don't think any of these factors would hinder anyone from starting crypto.

SCAM and FEAR are literally the same thing, you just separated them to make your thread longer. The fear of being scammed can be overlooked with enough funds it's a known fact. That's a known fact

RESOURCES: you mentioned laptop and mobile devices which can be bought with money. I'm not gon talk much on this, you get where I'm driving at.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and MENTORING: Again two similar points that could've been folded into one point, but you felt that separating them would make your thread longer.

There are legit crypto classes out there that one can register under. Yes they might cost you money, but that's where the funds come in.

They main factor hindering people from engaging in crypto is the lack of funds and ignorance. .

As long as you have money I don't think any of these factors would hinder anyone from starting crypto.

Exactly, as I quoted there, " there's no such thing as something from nothing". Only greed would make someone think they can get money from doing absolutely nothing.

Scams and frauds have been rampant in the crypto community for many years now. The crypto market, being relatively unregulated, has attracted so many scammers and  fraudsters. These criminals take advantage of the lack of knowledge among investors to leverage their schemes.

One of the most common scam is the Ponzi Scheme. I'm pretty sure most, if not all of us are very familiar with this scam. In a Ponzi Scheme, the scammer promises high returns on investment without doing any actual trading. Instead, the scammer gains new participants mostly true referrals and uses their funds to pay the earlier investors' promised profits. The Ponzi Scheme collapses when new participants dwindle or demand a payout, and the scammer disappears with the remaining funds. There's something my dad always tells me, " there is no such thing as something from nothing". Anyone that promises you a particular amount of BTC, and all you have to do is invest a  particular amount or share their link to invite a given amount of people, that person is a scammer, and potential investors should avoid them at all cost.

Another common scam is the Fake ICO (Initial Coin Offering). In Fake ICOs, the scammer promises a new cryptocurrency with a major technology or platform, convincing potential Investors to invest their funds in the ICO. However, after collecting the funds, the scammer disappears, and no new cryptocurrency is ever launched. Personally I've been a victim of something similar to this some time ago, but it wasn't crypto related.

Another fraud is the Phishing scam, where a scammer creates a fake website that pretends to be a popular cryptocurrency exchange or wallet. They ask for login credentials, private keys, and then proceeds to access the victim's cryptocurrency wallet and steal their funds.

Lastly, the Ransomware, here the scammer captures a victim's digital devices or files; the attacker demands payment in cryptocurrencies to surrender the data and restore access to the victim. Another one that's very similar to this, the scammer preys on investors that have issues with their wallet, offers a solution and demand for their login details to fix said issue. Then they proceed to access their wallet and steal their funds.

A few days ago, a user on this forum asked if it was possible to reverse a bitcoin transaction cause he accidentally sent funds to the wrong address. That's the kind of post these scammers look for. I'm sure he got a couple of messages from people claiming to have a solution to his issue.

To avoid scammers like this, Investors should also be wary of promises of unusually high returns and do not disclose any personal information or keys to anyone.

Finally, Investors should use secure software and hardware for their devices and regularly back up their data.
