Quickly rich with bitcoin?

I honestly don't understand how people fall for this crap over and over again.

If anyone is interested in reading an article about one of these fraud firms' internal operations: https://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/fraudfactory/ I realized that the case OP describes is somewhat similar.

I am fascinated by watching how general public can be so stupid. AI should control most people in the future.

It is sometimes a very small world. Showed the video to my stepdaughter and she told me that the brother of a friend of her was working there as IT specialist. He did not know what this company was exactly doing. When he realized by doing his job as ITer, so not in "sales", what they were doing, he quit immediately. He was hired with a fake story, to cover up what he was really programming.

“Get rich quick” schemes are interesting. I wish they were as real as they say.
But let’s all agree that whether it is bitcoin or forex, scammers are becoming smarter and we better doubt every deal and investigate it properly before putting our money in there.

The story seems to be a little bit different. This is what I received today as information:

"I sent this article to my friend, her brother was working in an office like this, but his colleague was really busy with fraud like this - 20yo who bought a flat and expensive car, and that police found out, he was expelled from the university, forbidden to work in it or to go abroad and he killed himself few months ago"

No pity for this boy, he received the result he deserved.

At least his 200k euros are going to serve all of us a lesson on how to research thoroughly before making such a big investment. Scammers are getting smarter with each passing day. Avoid using platforms that do not seem reliable.

Completely wrong. We did not conclude that, YOU concluded that as a crypto fan.
A financial system should be save from design. The system should be adapted to the people; people don't have to adapt to the system.

Crypto's are just the opposite:

• crypto's are just digital, fiat money is not.

• No, fiat is also digital, but slower since it takes a few days to verify with a bank.
  

• crypto's are anonymous or at least very difficult to trace, fiat money is not.

  So what's the problem?

• crypto's are backed by air, fiat money is not.

  Fiat money is not backed by air? Who do you think you're fooling?

• wrong payments in crypto's cannot be cancel, fiat money can do that.

  Then don't send to the wrong address? Do I really need to tell you this?

• crypto's have "mixers" to hide criminal money much better.

  There's criminal money in fiat, criminals get away with paper money. Again you are fooling no one but yourself with that comment.

• If somebody has your crypto's password, your account is lost for ever, if people have the code to enter my bank account, they can take only part of my money, I am also insured against this, so the damage is limited.

  Then don't let anyone get your password, is that really too hard for you?

• and 1000 other arguments...

  Please tell me, because you haven't said 1 valid argument yet.

You are just trying to push people to get into crypto's. But there is no reason why they should. They can go to casino if they want to gamble. And there at least they don't risk to lose all they have, like they do in crypto's.

Then don't bet all you have? I'm sure the odds of winning in crypto are hundreds of times better than any casino, did you really just go there? LOL

Experienced traders are still safe because they know that it’s not easy to make money in any of the financial markets. But the newbies who want to make big profits as soon as they start their trading career are the most vulnerable.
