Deceptions in Cryptocurrency

Many beginners have been deceived in the cryptocurrency space.

Before we discuss these deceptions, let’s first help those who are new to cryptocurrency by answering some basic questions.

What Is Cryptocurrency?

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that exists online and is used for buying, selling, investing, and transferring value electronically.

Genuine Cryptocurrencies in the Market

Some well-known and genuine cryptocurrencies include:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)
• USDT (Tether)
• BNB
• Ripple (XRP)
• And many more…

How Does Cryptocurrency Trading Work?

Cryptocurrency trading works on a simple principle:

• Buy at a lower price
• Sell at a higher price
• The difference is your profit

How Do You Make Profit?

You make profit only when the value of the coin you bought increases above your buying price.Example:If you buy Bitcoin at $50,000 with $10 and the price later rises to $100,000, your investment doubles.This means your $10 becomes $20, because the price increased by 100%.

How Do People Lose Money?

You lose money when you sell a coin at a price lower than where you bought it.Example:If you buy Bitcoin at $50,000 with $10 and the price drops to $25,000, your balance becomes $5, because the value has reduced by half.

How Are People Deceived in Cryptocurrency?

I have listened to many victims of cryptocurrency scams. Each time I hear their stories, one thing is clear: most victims refused to learn the business before investing.Sadly, this is a common problem—many people rush into businesses without proper knowledge.

Below are some common ways people are deceived:

1. Fake Cryptocurrency MLM SchemesSome victims were asked to invest in businesses that had “cryptocurrency” in their names. Later, they discovered it was actually a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme that required referrals before earning.They joined not because they liked MLM, but because of the crypto-related names.Be careful of businesses that only attach cryptocurrency keywords to deceive people. Examples include:

• BTC Mine
• BTC Gold
• BTC Coin
• Crypto Bit
• Crypto Master

Many of these are not real cryptocurrency investments.

2. Lies About Capital Requirements: Some victims were told they must invest huge amounts of money before buying Bitcoin.This is completely false.You can invest in cryptocurrency with less than $1. Cryptocurrency allows fractional buying.

3. Trading Through Someone Else’s Account: Some people were asked to deposit money into an agent’s account so the agent could trade for them.This is a serious deception. You should always have your own personal cryptocurrency account. Creating an account is simple and takes only a few minutes. Never invest through another person’s account—this is how many people lose their money.
