Everyone has limited resources, and not all people think the same way that you do. Just in real life, don't trust strangers, do you homework, and be prepared for things to go all wrong.<br />
Everyone has limited resources, and not all people think in the same way that you do. Trust no one, research, and expect the unexpected.
 
Don't expect other people to behave as you 'say' that they should behave, and then get upset when they ignore your will. Bitcoin is a big place!  An exciting place and even a dangerous place. Bitcoin isn't a mild walk in the park, but going to the Wild West!
