I had a I told you so moment but kind of an opening to get them on Bitcoin. A work friend I have been telling to buy some bitcoin little bit at a time dca it’s not to late etc.
They started doing it! Hooray! But the lack of excitement from just buying and holding was apparently was not enough next I find out he has been talking to a guy that uses a program to buy and sell for you and make you great results….
I told him that sounds like the dodgy est scam I’ve ever heard of and he should just keep buying bitcoin and holding it. He agreed but invested with this guy… he then when I was checked in with him he was up three times his money or something like that and it was going great.
I was more nervous as he then said his put more in…
Every now and then I checked in and all was going well. This was pre current halving and run up.
So I checked in again the other day since bitcoin has done what it does and gone great post halving he would have to be sitting great with what he had previously said….
And it’s all gone the money the guy the company all of it….
So now I need to work on that scar tissue and get him buying straight Bitcoin

Wow, how can people fall for these things, that's wild. Thanks for sharing your story!
Fingers crossed your colleague recovers from it, sometimes that's the best way to learn in life.

My thing is that he won’t want to go near any assets like bitcoin after this… but I’ll keep working on him.
It will be hard as he feels like an idiot falling for it as well.
