I don’t think there’s a single reader here who hasn’t come across this type of scam.
You know the story: “The next BTC! The next ETH! Entry only $50.”
At first sight, it doesn’t even feel dangerous. So what if you lose $50? That’s a few beers on a terrace.
But here’s the problem: it’s not about the money — it’s about your mindset.

How It Works
1. The promise: “Early entry into the next big coin.”
2. The hook: the price of admission is low — $50 or $100, something anyone can afford to lose
3. The thought trap: “I can’t lose much… but what if it moons?”
4. The harvest: thousands of people fall for it, and the scammer collects a fortune.
5. The ending: the token dies, liquidity vanishes, and your “lottery ticket” is worthless.

Why It’s Dangerous
It’s not dangerous because you’ll lose $50.
It’s dangerous because it sets your brain on the wrong track.
• Instead of thinking in terms of probabilities and risk management, you start thinking in terms of what if.
• Instead of trading or investing, you’re gambling.
• And once your mindset shifts that way, you’ll chase “cheap tickets” over and over, until the small losses pile up — or worse, you start adding bigger amounts hoping for that one lucky hit.

Final Note
Trading or investing isn’t about lottery tickets. It’s about discipline, probabilities, and outcomes.
If you find yourself drawn into a “little entry” scam, remember: the real danger is not losing $50 — it’s losing your focus, your discipline, and eventually your trading career.
