The Story of an online-noob...

in #crypto-trading7 years ago

A noob is someone who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity. This story is about such a noob who learned some valuable lessons along his journey in the online space.

So, this happened…. There was a boy, let us call him “Online-Noob”. His life was normal like any other guy-a life running within the spheres of a routine job. Like any other guy he was also looking for opportunities to make some extra income.

One day he was exposed to the idea of online earning.

He saw many blogs and FB posts regarding some online income opportunities that can potentially make him a king of his fortune within few months. Many so-called leaders were daily publishing their reviews about how this opportunity changed their life. They were coming FB-Live every now and then and showing live withdrawal proofs.

So, our boy started following these self-declared industry leaders and invested in some of the plans mentioned below

Noob-baby started dreaming about how he could be a millionaire soon and take an early retirement to enjoy his life and spend a splendid holiday in some distant island (among the babes of course 😊). He was so convinced with the big conference livestreams of those RevShare & Forex programs that he decided to jump into the carnival right away.
He invested a big chunk of his earning and started his promotional effort to impress other noobs.

Everything went well for few weeks/months and then things started to alter. No instant pay-outs and some excuses of the leaders started cropping up.
But our boy still believed in the program-admins and thought soon he would get his money back.

Oh at least recover the seed money, he prayed fervently!

There was agitation and chaos among the investors (other noobs and some leaders as well) in the FB groups and forums, they cursed the Admin, some claimed how they warned early about the scam and advised people to stay away and some were considering a law-suite against the Admins.
Our hero also raised his voice. Though he had a little hope (since the Admins sometimes used to give false updates about how honest were they and their intentions) but soon he realized that his money is now gone forever.

Some of the (IN)-FAMOUS programs our boy took great interest in:

Our hero still thought there must be an easy way to earn online, and loo …he found another mind-blowing opportunity. -though these were long present in the online space, but Online-Noob just had learned about this.

He was so excited, and why shouldn’t he? So many plans, monthly earning, weekly earning, daily earning, even some plans were giving hourly earning!! He was in cloud nine, he thought how smart he was to discover this easy opportunity.
Now our boy has determined to recover his loss from the crash of “Dream Plan-1”. So, he started investing in many different types of plans, he followed some well-known HYIP monitors like MNO !!

And then it happened again, the bad omens started to creep in. Initially the delay in payment and suddenly pay-out stopped. Programs collapsed one after another, but he still couldn’t believe it was happening to him again.
Online-Noob went thru the same psychological pattern:

The same HYIP-Monitor which promoted those HYIPS and published reviews to lure newbies, have now started listing these programs as They take a great pride on how they exposed the scam list before other monitors did.
It’s funny how they promote HYIPs by taking huge fees from the HYIP-Admins and earn referral commissions from the newbies who sign-up using their link, and later the same HYIP Monitors proudly display Scam-Alert in their website to warn users as if people who already invested still have a chance to recover!
