Same thing happened to liberty reserve some years back and a lot of people around the world lost money in it. Nigerians should be extra careful of this things.

This is different from liberty reserve, but the issue is it is a payment system and not an investment in itself. The guys pushing it to Nigerians are marketing it as an investment opportunity, whereas it is just a crypto version of your naira. What determines its value is its acceptability and monetary policy of those nations that accept it.

This news is missleading......It should be "beware of Ponzi schemes promising to double your Bitcoins".. trading BTC is 100% legal anywhere in the world.

The fact that Bitcoin operation is not backed by any government regulations anywhere in the world as always claim by its promoter could make the currency go either ways. Investors should be more careful. Though many people are making fortune from Bitcoin at moment, but my fear is that when it becomes all comers affair, hope the auto regulations being enjoyed by Bitcoin now will be able to stand the pressure?

What I understood was that the companies that endorse bitcions aren't regulated and hence it's risky.

E-gold too. All these HYIP has remodeled to Bitcoin investment programs but these new generation or internet users probably don't know about those things before.

Someone commented up there that government don't know new trend, I just laugh things like these have been before now.

There is no government in the whole world today that has adopted or approved Bitcoin as a trusted currency for its citizens at least from my last investigation about 4 months ago so if I'm wrong someone should correct me with proof not with insult please.

It's just a warning that you can ignore.

why are all these fraudulent schemes on the increase in the last two years? is it because of the bad economy, poverty or hunger?

It is used in most countries in Asia and some stores in the US are already accepting it as a means of payment.
