A friend of mine messaged me today about an investment that will pay me for a month and give me back my capital in three days. This sound so great and after hours of contemplating and researching about the people behind it I choose not to have anything to do with it.
One thing about money is that it is very addictive and immediately you start making money, you will always want to get more, and your soul won't be satisfied. Sometimes you wonder why the world's richest man is still looking for money. When the money the next generation is going to spend is locked away somewhere. This is the main reason I believe we all have sought greed inside us and it all depends on whether you can control it or not.
This is the concept scammers and some thieves in suits use to lure us into their trap, they know you will always want the money no matter what whether you are rich or poor money is irresistible. Some of them create some kind of scheme that pays you for a while and after millions of people have joined they run away with your money.
The funniest part about some of these Ponzi schemes or crypto project is that it is too good to be real and that we always know that something doesn't seem right and the project is a scam but dive into it anyway because of greed and that is how we are created to always want more.
Take caution
I have a brother that will never invest in anything he does not fully understand or things that are too good to be real, he tells you he is ok with the little he earns. Even though I have always felt he is too old fashion now I realize that he always tries to take extra precautions not to invest wrongly.
Some of us have a friend, brother, or parent that we learn from and some of us learned the hard way by getting scammed but in the end, we know the importance of not just trusting your money with everything you see, it takes proper research, building trust gradually and never invest in things that are too complicated.
Sometimes we might be wrong about a project and that is why we must do our research and never rush into it by putting all our money into it. We must be careful out there because it is risk out there.
