On "Investments" and other scams

I remember when I first heard the word Bitcoin (BTC) just a few years ago. As a Computer Engineer, I am fascinated by the idea a little more than a normal user, because of the programming and the perfect way in which it is developed. I started on a faucet called freebitco.in after a long internet search and doing some research on it. As I imagine everyone will know, faucets are places that eat up your time for a few satochis. Imagine being logged in every hour to roll or perform some action in hopes of hitting the jackpot. Added to this, the game it has is a vice, and it will make you lose all your satochis, which with so much effort you managed to gather for several weeks or months in just a few seconds. It happened to me countless times, you think you are going to win, and on the contrary, the next roll is a huge red of loss. The heart wants to leave the chest in each roll.

Later, tired of wasting so much time, for almost nothing, I asked a friend for information about a company in which he was investing and those that were in everyone's favor at that time. He mentioned 3 companies to me: MindCapital, Trust Investing and Atton Bank.

MindCapital.

Spanish company, just starting, that promises an ROI of 0.5 - 1.5% daily. Directed by Gonzalo Pelayo. It is based on blockchain technology specialized in the arbitrage of digital cryptocurrencies and Fiat currencies. You can get your investment back in 6-7 months. It also has a wonderful compound interest system, allowing you to instantly reinvest your earnings in the platform as long as they exceed 100 MCoin (1 MCoin = 1 USD).

Trust Investing.

A great company, which is dedicated to trading and obtains a very good profitability. You could double your money in no time. In addition, the referral system is great, including obtaining a 10% start-up bonus for the person who refers you. If you invite someone to the company and that person deposits 1000 USD you will immediately receive 100 USD without any effort.

Atton Bank.

Company that we do not know much about where it is from. We know that it is a bank that obtains its profits through loans. It has no minimum investment and you get 1% daily of that investment, in a FIXED way. As if this were not enough, the money is continuously reinvested daily, generating more and more. In short, in just 2 months you double your capital.

My friend recommends that since I am new to this world, I start by investing in MindCapital, which is the most serious. After explaining all the risks involved in an investment, I decide to buy my first BTCs. Back then, I was using Enjin Wallet. I remember when it was deposited into my wallet and the feeling I felt seeing 0.05 BTC there. It was 500 USD that he had invested in the hope of doubling it in a while. I started looking for referrals, to get more profit. Things were not bad, I managed to get about $ 100 after a few months and then continue to make compound interest. Other friends to whom he told about the company preferred others, like Nimbus to cite one example. One of them deposit 10k USD in Nimbus.

I put about $ 30 in Atton Bank and managed to double it. Removing them immediately afterwards and avoiding it at all costs. It no longer generated confidence in me.

After a few months and when everything seemed fine, MindCapital began to present problems and make cheap excuses. Crypto-fiat arbitrage would come to an end, requiring all users of the platform to fill out a KYC in order to access only their initial investment, none of their earnings. Imagine that if your username did not match your real name, then unfortunately you would never get your money back. After a good time I managed to carry out the KYC and withdraw my investment, much less, because the entry commission and exit commission from the platform make you lose considerably money. But now for the best. When you deposited in MindCapital the BTC was approximately 10k USD and there they are converted to MCcoin. Back then you deposited 0.05 BTC equivalent to 500 USD. Now the BTC is around 50k. Which means that if you had not deposited them in that company you would have about 2,500 USD. Now I have the equivalent of just over $ 460. Friends who lost their money and life savings. My friend from NIMBUS couldn't get his money back. Atton Bank disappeared overnight taking thousands of USD, friends crying for their savings too. Time lost, money not recovered, families destroyed, dreams broken.

Be very careful with your money, life is not rosy. Nobody gives away money, that magic formula does not exist. Stand firm, and with a cool head, analyze the situation. Be in control of your money, that is the best option.
