Let us be careful of what we will invest our hard earn money in other to avoid being scammed. I stumble on this thread and sincerely i am inspired but i discovered the following on this thread. The most popular names on this thread are Balenciego, Nkemzy8, Bitcoinbeer, Olgasmith, Williamsuc and Soul. A look at their profiles here on nairaland reveal the following;

Balenciego registered on May 30, 2019. He had made 66 posts out of which 61 are on this thread.

Nkemzy8 registered on June 18, 2019. He had made 32 posts so far all are on this thread.

Williamsuc registered on June 18, 2019 the same day with Nkemzy8. He had made 9 post all are on this thread.

Olgasmith registered on June 19, 2019. He had made 20 posts which all are on this thread.

Bitcoinbeer registered on June 19, 2019, the same day with Olgasmith and a day after Nkemzy8 and Williamsuc registered. He has made 15 post all are on this thread.

[b]Soul [/b]registered on December 30, 2018. He has made alot of post across different sections.

Are these people except Soul not on nairaland before this year?
Why 98% of their posts are on this thread?

Though nobody has asked us to pay any money on this thread but i am just trying to tell my fellow nairalander to be very careful. Scammers can disguise in different ways they can even come like a helper.

A word is enough for the wise�
this nairaland sef. Anybody fit just come pose as him want and spit rubbish.

Nwanne like Nkemzy said. You are paranoid. But u did well though. This skill is needed in police. Don't waste it

Warren Buffet... Mehn that guy is not in support of crypto at all.

Well, that was initially, I hope he has changed his stand by now, cause back then he said crypto investments is for charlatans. Ironically, the Abra app you guys recommended for ETF has his company Berkshire Hathaway.

Hopefully they will be convinced with all going on now.

One of the way to make money in cryptocurrency is through trading it. when I say trading it, it doesn't mean converting bitcoin to naira and vice versa.

it's about using margin to trade. Even if you don't have much capital. at least 50$ can kick start your way to financial freedom.

sign up on Bitmex and read a few article on margin trading. start your plan and follow the plan. simple indicators like SMA and VDUB can help you enter and exit trade.

since I ventured into trading. I have never made less than 200$ a day.

Boss, I hail o. Thank you for this thread

I have used couple of crypto faucets and at the end I feel I just wasted my data.

In 2015 when I got to know about crypto, most of those faucets were real cause that was where I got my first Bitcoin (satoshis) worth over 30k then.

Some months ago I tried them again and left with regrets.

So bro, you can choose to continue but no too put your mind there just incase E no work.

Imagine them bringing up a new requirement after reaching threshold, if you come get 10 referrals they might bring up a new requirement; maybe requesting your referrals also attain threshold. Just like that you get played after running 11 accounts.

So ma guy do it passively, if it pays, fine.

Finally had the 10 referrals so tried to withdraw, again I was accused of running multiple accounts so can't be cashout. That I have to upgrade before I can cashout, then I lost hope bro

Cryptocurrency has too road to scam guys, it's either u get scam or u lose money from my personal investment. I just tire

Chief, he just stated the obvious with very little motive.

So please see it as one of those things.

I Remeber when most of those guys were tagging me scam cause I said I mine Bitcoin using hardware, one asked if I use firewood... The things just dey laugh me.

But you told me to disregard all that cause it's an online forum and anybody can wake up and type whatever; like typing Donald Trump is black, or Obama is White...

So kindly leave the words of our great Investigator on Page 8, and continue with your free lectures on how to gain from crypto.

I respect what you are doing, plus I got to know you from another thread about Bitcoin. So no be today talk.

Just keep up the good work.

I believe what the investigator posted is not far from what you will post if you also notice anything suspicious right?

Ma guy. Ride on abeg.

And please try dey more social, I swear E go make things smooth for here.

I haven't forgotten what you posted some days ago, where you called my small proceeds from mining pieces of meat...

E still dey prick me for body somehow but I go make am.

To the level I will earn more than $200 dollars daily.

After which I will ask for your account number do one or two magic for there.

All na joke ma guy.
Just dey happy continue wetin you dey do.
Thanks for the heads up. sometimes I see things logically than socially, but I will try to adjust.

about the teaching, I will possibly do it next week and prep everyone on what is to come.

What you are doing isn't bad too. adding more skills is cool. goodluck

Please can you or the op enlighten us more in this?
BNB? Sounds like something that will yield crazy money in a short while.

Am set to open a binance account soon for this and marginal trading.
BNB burn coins quarterly which in return increases its value.

Last two months, Bnb was 15$, now it's 31$. bought a handful of it and I'm smiling to my wallet..lol.

Very interesting thread on cryptocurrency. Many ways to make money on crypto. From trading, airdrop, ico, mining, gambling etc...though am more endeared to trading but haven't mastered the skills needed. Still learning. Make $780 with an initial deposit of $35 in btc on a gambling site called bitsler. Don't know how many folks knows about that platform. You can do your research.
be careful, that's gambling. it doesn't work or sustain itself.

anyway, cool you are learning new things in crypto here.

So sad, but don't expect it to get better with faucets, and please don't dream of upgrading abeg.

Stick to the thread and learn better ways of earning in crypto.

And just like others have stated, Cryptocurrency is not a scam. You only get scammed if you don't possess requisite knowledge and thats what this thread is set to achieve.

All the best.

Hi bro, I came across a trade on the NL that introduced me to this Telegram bot pictured below...

They are into investment, lending btc and some other things. I haven't invested yet cuz am sceptical AMD I don't know what u guys thing about it.

It promises almost 3.5% of your investment, everyday until 90days and in the lending type, they have a lot and it take 7 days to give you your capital back as well as 30% of your investment.

There are other lending programs there that you even get your money in 48 hours. Including your %age gain.

What do you think? Have not invested yet though.

And thus, that trade has been deleted by mods

Funny Experience I had few minutes back.

I got a mail that 'QUICKTELLER' have given me voucher code of $50 which I am to use in their 'QUICKTELLER GLOBAL MALL APP'.

Mumu me, thinking they want to show love to their long time customer, I immediately went to Google play, installed the app, started checking various malls there for items of $50 or below (cause the app is a collection of various malls).

I spent like 30 minutes searching for item of $50 there, initially it was high end products I was seeing till I checked cloth section.

After all my effort, I selected 3 polos worth $50 dollars, I clicked on check out, next thing they added $40 to the total for various cost; Shipping Cost- $20, Handling Cost- $10, Tax-$10, Cloth wey I dey buy-$50, Total-$90.

At this point, I still dey hopeful.

My calculation was, since they gave me 4 voucher code of $50 each, magic fit happen if they allow me use up to 2 of those codes.

I got to payment page, sharp sharp I click the link where I will enter the 'promo' code.

At this point, I started perceiving something foul. In the mail it was called 'Voucher code', here it is called 'Promo code'.

I started sensing that certainty have become probability.

Ok. With faith like a mustard seed, I entered the first code...

I got a message, "THIS PROMO CODE HAVE REACHED IT'S MAXIMAL USAGE."

I don't understand, voucher also has limit. If yes, why issue it?

Ooooo... I forgot, na promo material now.

Ok. With 5% faith I tried the remaining 3 codes only to get the same message.

I just laughed at my desperation to get free money.

I wouldn't say QUICKTELLER scammed me, but they played a quick one.

I wonder when person go get money so tey this kind things no go move me.

Baba God, I know say you dey see everything wey dey happen, abeg no overlook my post.
