The developer of Dogecoin, Mishaboar, has delivered a crucial message to newcomers in the cryptocurrency realm. He emphasized the often overlooked risks present in this market and urged enthusiasts to stay informed about investment risks while underlining the importance of safeguarding against preventable losses.
Warning to New Crypto Investors by Dogecoin Developer
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter) on June 16, Mishaboar highlighted the risks associated with crypto investments, pointing out that these risks are frequently underestimated or forgotten by newcomers in the crypto sphere. He cautioned that cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and risky, advising investors not to risk more money than they can afford to lose. Mishaboar stressed that this message is simple yet easily forgotten.
The developer also pointed out the psychological toll of overexposure to cryptocurrencies, warning that if investors are losing sleep over their investments, it may indicate excessive exposure to these digital assets and the associated risks.
Additionally, Mishaboar referenced a post shared by a community member in the crypto space, which highlighted the increasing presence of scammers, criminals, and fraudsters in the market, adding another layer of risk beyond market volatility and investment risks.
Mishaboar rarely discusses cryptocurrency prices or engages in speculative trading on his official X account. However, he plans to provide insights into the crypto market in the coming weeks, focusing on risks faced by new investors, the dangers of leveraged and regular crypto trading, and the significance of understanding the market’s risk-reward balance.
The developer also cautioned against the prevalence of fraud in the crypto space, particularly targeting Dogecoin’s large user and investor community. Malicious scammers often attempt to deceive investors into revealing personal information that could result in financial losses.
Mishaboar’s warning comes at a time when the allure of quick profits continues to draw new investors to the crypto market. He emphasizes the necessity of grasping the inherent risks and consequences associated with crypto investments and trades to safeguard investors from potential losses.
Mishaboar Equates Crypto Investments to Gambling
Describing cryptocurrency trading and investments as a somewhat informed form of gambling, Mishaboar acknowledged that while enthusiasts can engage in speculative activities, they should do so responsibly with a clear understanding of the risks and potential implications for themselves and their families.
The developer stressed the importance of prioritizing essential financial needs over speculative investments and cautioned against using funds required for critical expenses, like education and housing, for investing in cryptocurrencies.
