DON’T TRUST GRAND IDEAS / PROPOSALS / PLANS TO MAKE EXTRA ORDINARY GAINS
We are all familiar with that rich Nigerian Prince who needs an ever increasing amount of money to get rid of barriers between him and the wealth he has decided to share with you. Scammers are alive and well and as it is a numbers game, they continue to operate profitably as just that one dumb person a month presents a very lucrative prospect not to try.
There are numerous snake oil sales men in Crypto. From lotteries where the winner needs to ironically send some Bitcoin to receive a greater amount to trading opportunities algorithms with 100X “guaranteed” returns daily, they are lurking everywhere.
Stealthy charlatans pose on social media for instance on twitter with accounts impersonating leaders in the Bitcoin echo system such as Plan B hoping to extort unassuming people. Others make websites literally identical to product or service providers to mislead those who do not pay attention in regards to making sure they use trusted, legitimate websites.
Bitcoin has 10000X in a decade, all you need to do is buy consistently using dollar cost averaging with an amount you are comfortable with, immediately be sending to your cold storage hardware wallet and go about your business.
CONCLUSION
Convert your KES into USD, forward finance all your cash flows, finance all your fixed assets, issue as much equity as you can in USD, issue as much debt on securities in USD, convert it all to Bitcoin and put it in cold storage outside the control of the Government of Kenya. This ensures they cannot convert it back to KES from USD to debase it.
In short. BUY BITCOIN.
