Nice interaction here.People get scammed everyday in the crypto space and investing platforms.And if you've been scammed before it isn't your fault to feel blamed of ashamed of anything,scammers are originally good at what they do.Anyone can fall for a scam,even the smartest person can fall for a scam.

Mistakes are life lessons,and anyone can make a mistake;also making a mistake is not abominable but making the same mistake over and over again,and that's essentially where the problem lies.In this investment space/crypto,users should exercise safety cautions by securing their personal details thats linked to their financial accounts,people should not get too comfortable when they hear or see huge investment opportunities with large earnings.

Stay vigilant,be comfortable with doing research and findings about the so called investment platforms,educate yourself about scams,safety/preventive measures about it and protect your digital keys or assets.

For me the question should be: Am I getting that money in a fair and legal way? There are different types of scams, and I think there is a difference if you willingly decide to buy some shitcoins on the DeFi, because I think you know exactly what you are doing, or, for example, if you're not an expert and you click some link to "update your wallet" or something like that and you lose everything.
If we start blaming the victims because "they were ignorant" then we should also accept many other types of crime: they stole your car? Well, you parked on the street, get a garage! They stole your watch? Well, if you can't take care of it while you walk it's on you. You have squatters at your place? Why did you leave? You see where we're going?

I understand the sentiment that people should be more careful with their crypto investments.  However, scammers exploit that carelessness in manipulative ways.  They impersonate companies and influencers, smooth-talk vulnerable targets in online spaces.  Essentially, they disguise themselves as trustworthy sources.  While personal responsibility matters the blame lies squarely on these wolves in sheep's clothing who lurk, waiting to take advantage and  carelessness may open the door, but scammers choose to step through it to harm others. So, I disagree with the OP about blaming only the victim, too.

They target stupid people and they also target people who are not careful, these two things will become the basis for how they can cheat in a more elegant way. That is why our involvement here needs to look at the level of security planned by each individual using existing assistance. Being anonymous, as most people say, will be much safer for anyone involved in it because sometimes we are not aware that people with malicious intent are monitoring us and they will look for loopholes to cheat on the basis of carelessness.

Transactions must be carried out carefully and always pay attention to the level of security, otherwise the risks that will occur will be the responsibility of the individual. Decentralization also requires security that is monitored by the individuals involved, even though this system is different from existing systems. Negligence will make people feel how small and big the fraud is and it can happen to anyone who is not careful.

Just know that scammers are very intelligent, there are many ways to scam people, and that is why sometimes if someone gets scammed, I don't normally blame them too much. Another reason people get scammed in this crypto space is that the crypto space is very large, there are many ways to make money from crypto, so some scammers use this excuse to scam people, and one thing about this is that both knowledgeable and uninformed people fall victim to getting scammed.

Just that people with the knowledge are kind of limited when it comes to getting scammed, so now when the thing is that we should have the knowledge of where we want to put our money so that even another stranger comes from nowhere claiming to tell you about something like that, you will find a way to deal with that without much stress, but if you do not have the knowledge, that is where they will easily scam you.


This is because the crypto space is an open place where everybody can come in and do what they wish to do. It is just that you will be the one to be in charge of your funds; everything is at your own risk, and most times those rich people lose more in crypto because they can invest in it, and they won't have much time to study it looking at the market movement because they are busy doing other things out there. However, for the shutting down of exchanges, I will not blame investors. If an exchange gets a problem and shuts down, I think the problem is not from them; it should be from the exchange. Although we are investors, we just have to be careful with where we are saving our funds.

You can say it like that. But if you see how greedy people are when they see an offer, they will immediately be amazed and follow it even though it is a trap from scammers to ensnare people who are not careful. Those scammers will always try to make offers that look as good as being true. Only careful people who always look for other information will not be fooled.

So this is about how we try to avoid scammers. We must always be careful, especially when we see a good offer. Always looking for more information about an offer can keep us away from fake offers that continue to be spread by scammers.

If there are people who fall victim to fraudsters or scammers, it is because of a lack of idea about the methods of exploitative people in this field of crypto space.
And I think it's normal for others to experience this because if they can learn from it, that's fine.

And there are others who don't wait to experience being victimized; instead, they use the mistakes of others as a lesson so they can avoid such scenarios.

When you have complete control over your own money – then you are the main person responsible for keeping it safe from all risks. Cases of lost bitcoin or scam tend to result from user failures, not bitcoins themselves - so it is the users who are to blame, not the bitcoin.

There's lots of advice on recognizing and avoiding fraud - as well as how to make your wallet safe. Many users fail to understand many things in order to keep their investments or money safe without being exposed to risk too often - so really, bitcoin is not to blame for this matter.

Remember, if there are no people easily scammed, then there is no scammer. I don't blame the victims, but the thing is, if you will notice and study the cases of those who got scammed, mostly it is because of the lack of information and knowledge of a person. For example, those who are newinformation and knowledge of a person. For example, those who are new in bitcoin and enter right away are sometimes the ones that could easily be deceived, and their assets may be stolen right away, or they could give away their seed phrase as they don't know how to secure it or even know how important a seed phrase is. So if you don't want to be scammed or people taking advantage of your innocence in the crypto world or even in all aspects, then learn how to know the important thing first. It is an instinct that you should always prioritise the safety and security of your assets in order to have a peaceful investment in crypto currency.
