introduction
A bit about me and a disclaimer, I am not a crypto currency expert
I still have a lot to learn and understand in the blockchain/crypto industry. What I am (or at least in my opinion) is an enthusiast, experimenter and a researcher. I am on my crypto journey the same as many of you, What I am trying to achieve is a record of my discoveries to make our journey easier, I am a 32 year old father that very much wishes to provide a better safer future for my family and all those around me utilizing these amazing technologies. so my plan for this blog is to create a place where I can document the myriad scams that currently exist in this industry and also bring legitimate oportunities to peoples attention (only once they have been verified as legitimate). I feel the only way we can eradicate the illigitimate ones is to be aware of them as a community and actively remove them and bring them to light where they are visible to all therefore making any scam a complete waste of time and unprofitable for these criminals to carry on their activities.
In any venture it is always a good idea to research and question what you are getting involved in, I know from personal experience that sometimes when you need the money an offer can seem so appealing that its worth jumping straight into and in my case at least I could almost talk myself into thinking there was no way offer A or offer B could be a scam. I would ask questions internally such as "how they could possibly profit from me doing this?", "Is this worth the gamble?", "am i being hurt or hurting anyone by doing this?" or say to myself "its other peoples choice if they put money into this im just making them aware of its existence." I realize that this is an absurd way to look at things and the answers are all irrelevant, the only questions should be is this company/offer legitimate and reliable or are they just trying to steal funds? As anyone would expect most turn out to be scams and they are only increasing as more people dump money into them and they come up with more ingenious ways to "borrow" your hard earned funds. Because more and more people are becoming aware of crypto currencies with it being more and more publiczed by the media and reading stories about how if people had invested 100 dollars 5 years ago they would be millionaires now and similar headlines criminals have taken advantage by offering what seems like a way to get in on the game quickly but in actuality is just a way to steal peoples money. I also realize that most if not all of these scams will pay the early adopters and promoters for a short time as they are trying to prove to be legitimate and paying, this does not mean it will always pay as they tend to use later investors money to pay off the earleier investors and then dissapear when they have taken what they want or it becomes unprofitable or comes under investigation.
I will always strive to be open, honest and impartial with any claims I post and will always aim to provide proof where possible.
Hopefully together we can use these amazing new technologies to the benefit of all of us and keep criminals and unscrupulous characters away from this industry by making everyone aware of who they are (which they really don't like) and how to avoid them at all costs.
