I have been investing since 2018, but only last year did I open an account at Binance.

What led me to open the account was a rather unusual fact: at the end of 2023, a little game in Brazil called “Magic Orchard” became a craze. This little game promised extraordinary earnings in addition to you taking care of your own land, like a happy harvest.

Well: groups were created around this game and some people invited me to participate, saying it was a unique opportunity, etc.

My hometown is small, and most of the people I knew bought a little piece of land in the game and were making a lot of money.

It had the look of a pyramid scheme, the feel of a pyramid scheme, the color of a pyramid scheme, but you know how humans are; there’s that attraction to games, competition, etc.

Where does Binance come in: to convert the currency to USDT and transfer it to the game, you had to open an account at Binance. In other words, they used the good credibility of this brokerage to attract more people because many believed there was some link.

So I decided to open an account at Binance and join the group.

When I started reading the conversations in this group and fortunately before putting any money into this game, I realized it was just another pyramid scheme and that it would soon collapse.

It was just as I thought: in less than a week, the game’s domain in Brazil was suspended, causing thousands of people to lose money, including those who had already made a lot because greed made them reinvest all the funds they had earned.

However, I am very grateful for the invitation because it allowed me to have an account here and start my journey in the crypto world. Even in adversity, we must seek to gain something.

A lesson for the newcomers: there are no easy gains.

No pain, no gain $BTC #MemesNotSecurity
