    If someone tells you can make a lot of money fast and you don’t have to do any work , you better run the other way.

    If you add another 5% tax we can prevent this

    Boohoo to a lady who thought she could do zero work and become rich.

    The introduction of a Bitcoin ETF marks a groundbreaking moment in the cryptocurrency world, merging digital currencies with traditional investment methods. This innovation could stabilize Bitcoin prices and broaden its appeal to a wider range of investors, potentially increasing demand and value. At the heart of this evolution is Silvia Macido, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment.

      The starting point to learn how to make money in general not just trading, is to have a strategy. It might be obvious, but there are many trader's out there who are merely guessing when trading and not having a strict trading strategy

    Def her problem of being greedy and not doing her due diligence. She’s the type of target that all scammers look for. Despite of crypto, real estate, stock or whatever, she is the perfect target.

    Karma, that's what this is. Greed over everything. There's no such thing as "easy money" without some sort of moral sacrifice.

    • @xmonikerhotmailcom
      @xmonikerhotmailcom Před 4 měsíci

      No, it is actually pretty easy but it takes confidence and some due diligence. Bitcoin was $15k a year and a half ago. Now it is over $60k. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the 4 year halving cycle that works like clockwork.

    30 days. We've overcome a lot of ups and downs, joy and tears, THE GREAT RECOVERYs, amazing game plans, slapping scammers, a total of $14 million recovered, and here we are - the end of the journey.

    *_Funny Trudeau rags on Pierre for mentioning crypto once well if you would have invested at that time your money would have doubled now. Invest in crypto using secured sources only. In Canada WealthSimple is a great place to invest in crypto and the stock market._*

    It isn't the fault of cryptocurrencies. When someone steals cash from a bank, does that mean the money is at fault? No. The person trusting a 3rd party without any verification is the issue. She could have easily watched a few vids on how to self custody bitcoin and been up 2.5x now if she bought last year. Ooops!

    *Prophecytrace* . The knowledge I’ve gained from you has been invaluable. While I may not retain it all indefinitely, what will stay with me is the way you demonstrated genuine concern and motivated me to persist and embrace positivity. This mindset is crucial for personal development and has the potential to create a profound and enduring impact on future generations through your remarkable achievement.
