Bitcoin Forum

surely you have experienced the worst decisions when using bitcoin?

then what was the best decision?

I used to have around 2 btc when the price was at 400$ range but i decided not to sell those bitcoin at that price range and sold recently at 700$ price so i have saved my self from lossing more than 600$ by holding my bitcoin tightly.

The worst decision was to keep most of my BTC in an online wallet which I did not hold the private key. Luckily the amount was still consider small and I lost them after the online wallet went offline... Now I keep most of my BTC in offline cold/paper wallets (maybe this is also not a wise decision??)

The worst decision I have ever done related to bitcoin is to follow some sort of cloudmining bitcoin, but instead exposed the scam. At that time because I was still new to bitcoin and do not know the ins and outs of cloudmining which turned out is another form of Ponzi.

So for saying the worst decision you made was selling your bitcoin.

My worst decision is not backing up my phone with my first wallet i had on it and losing half a coin and also not buying more at 300 dollars.

Same as what happen to others here who want to earn some extra in cloud mining but they failed, but the worst happen inme is loosing gambling sites   I lost mostly small amount, but when I calculate all my lost is not just small which is I feel regret.

That was my best decision and the worst one is lossing wallet backup of blockchain.info which i have created for the first time when i was new to bitcoin. I hadnt lost much in that wallet and i even dont know to backup wallet on those days.

Op have asked both question i think...

Yeah because I think people who are new to bitcoin will be tempted by the lure of their profit without having to do anything, because we know newbie still have limited knowledge. With my experience of it. I hope other people do not be fooled :)

The worst so far i ever had is when i sold my 1btc at $450-$460 range back to 2015 i felt so dumb until now by having that mistake.

i was found very similar such as these thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163258.0
not necessary to create the new one because those thread still not locked and you all still can continue discuss at there

you seriously need to rethink how you create a topic and give it a name. right now your subject is vague and it looks more like one of those FUD threads that we keep seeing here.
also your topic is a duplicate of another one with the similar question, so better close this before turning it into a spam house.

The worst decision I made with my bitcoins last may this year 2016 when I deposit all of my bitcoins in a gambling site. At first it was okay since I was winning but due to the greediness within me, instead of winning I lost all of my bitcoins. It was the most wrong choice and regret ful decision I made

Buying Bitcoin was my best decision, but not buying more when the price was super low, will have to be my worst decision by far. I had the opportunity and the funds to buy a whole lot of bitcoins last year and I would have tripled my investment, but I chickened out. ^hmmmm^ That might not happen again soon, so I am out of luck.

My worst decision was to sell Bitcoin when the price was around 300$ and also some bad judgements related to trading. The best decision was to step into Bitcoin world at first place. With the time this will only bring good things.

Well, i guess thats a win win situation there. But the important here is you have learned a lesson. Some are panicking because halving is coming. Thats a good choice tho coz if what the price drpp to $10-$50 and you have not sell it? Then thats the worse decision you will ever make.

No worst decision yet except a few times when I rushed and the game emotions got me so I bet on some events without studying them first and lost a decent amount of bitcoin. I haven't make a worst decision regarding selling or trading my bitcoin as mainly I try to store them. But gambling is becoming something addictive to me , I guess I should stop betting on more than 1 soccer game per day. I should just focus on my tipping thread and bet on only that event I choose for the day.

My worst decision was when I thought I was smarter than others and started to do trading with very little knowledge. I lost a really big amount of coins there but I didn't stop. I immediately go to bitcasino.io and played slots to lose all of my bitcoins there. A very black day for me which I remember as it was yesterday. Now I have quit both trading and playing slots and have start from the beginning trying to collect a few bitcoin.

My best decision was when i decided to use and earn bitcoins.

My worst decision was when i decided to sell 1 btc last year,when the price was only 300$ per btc.

I still regret for that. :(

I also did the same thing when the price $300, I sell my bitcoin. did not suspect that the price will rise very rapidly to $700. but this is not the worst my decision, the worst decision when I put money in HYIP investment sites.

the worst is i bought bitcoin when its $660 and in the 3 hours later the rate is drop until $651 and in that moment i buy, i don't read anything news or take a look at the charts, i just buy, i don't know why. gezz i only wish in that moment and hope that rate is back and i can sell it to take a little bit profit. and when i login tomorrow, i see that the rate is back in $662, and i directly sold it at that rate. only little profit but i'm happy.

The title,thread including the content is totally misleading.Not sure if you want to know the best decision I have taken with bitcoins or the worst.I will give you benefit of the doubt :

>Best Decision : Stopped Paying service taxes on all my primitive Internet Marketing Payouts after switching to bitcoin payments.

>Worst Decision : Invested and lost a good amount of bitcoins while trading altcoins.Never again.

A Person's worst decision could be the investing bitcoin to an ponzi scam project, on a cloudmining etc..
but I was very possessive with my bitcoins. I never invested so much in any project without proper research and knowledge. so I didn't lost much.
but it didn't mean that I never took any bad decision. I also lost few bucks. but over all this is nothing.



No. now this one is wise decision you took finally.
saving money on online wallet id not really safe. this thing stated and suggested by so many peoples and so many times. but peoples are still not ready to listen this.

using online wallet like blockchain.info, coinbase and xapo is only good when you are confirm that you'll spend these coins.
but using these wallet for store big bitcoin for long time is worst thing in my openion.

Worst decision by far was taking 3 bitcoins and putting it in CEX and
watching it slowly grind away as it was never ROI.

Best decision was buying 8.2 btc at $320 in anticipation to the halving then
selling some at $600 some at $650 and the last 2 at $700. Hoping to buy back
in if it drops into the $500's.

Mine wasn't that bad, but investing 0.1 into Genesis mining. Im still making a generous 0.000003 a day. It was a great learning experience, I guess.

Congrats! What did you spend the profits on, if you did buy anything? Or are you going to hold it even further?

worst decision  i made on bitcoin was investing cloud mining sites ,  invested around 0.1 BTC , and cloud mining sites were turned scam that time i was new to bitcoin industry. lesson learnt is invest on legit sites which is promising and best is to earn bitcoin :)

my worst decision was trading my bits at the wrong time. i sold about 0.6 btc at about 450$ rate and now just after a few months of selling my btc the current btc rate is at 650$. but i think every bitcoiner has suffered from such things. another mistake was gambling some big money and loosing it all. actually i was gone crazy on that day. i did both trading and gambling on that day but nothing came in my favour. and the best desicion.. hmm i cannot remember any best decision which i might have made. lol.

Haha, I totally know what you're talking about, I panic bought and sold so many times when I first got into crypto. I also used to set buy/sell orders before going to sleep and would often wake up to very bad surprises  :D From time to time though I would make a nice profit, it's a pretty sweet feeling waking up and logging in to see that your order got filled overnight and that your balance is brimming with dollars/coins  ;D

My worst thing is to lose because of gambling: D

Best decision was to hold the coins for future when the price wasnt so high maybe it was around $300 or $400 that time.
And bad decision have been to invest in ponzi schemes where i lost a lot of bitcoins when i was new to it, used to work really hard to earn them and losing them on ponzi schemes was really painful.

Worst decision was to believe on ponzi sites and think that they would pay me. I was so lazy those days and i want to earn money without doing much effort. The only requirement on HYIP sites is money and I do have some of that. Apparently all HYIP sites and bitcoin doubler sites will eventually become a scam site.

The worst decision i make with bitcoin is know about gambling and lose all my bitcoins because gambling, especially on dice sites, it's really cancer dude.

yeah, gambling usually gives nothing but losses in my opinion, besides that i think that my worst decision was to make an all in bet on dice of 0,3 bitcoins

to be completely honest, i have never made a bad decision when it comes to bitcoin. i have always managed to buy at the best prices, and to sell at the best prices as a trader. so far i can happily say bitcoin is the best investment tool ever for me.

My worst decision was when I put the wrong address for withdrawal, and this happened only once and was a good lesson that when sending to others your bitcoin address be sure to check and recheck many times.

My best decision was to get involved in the 1st place a lot of people are crying cause they new of bitcoin but didnt buy in.....

Why would I make that mistake if I know that it is a mistake. The question should be framed as "the worst mistake you have ever made with bitcoin".

I think selling bitcoin is worst mistake I have ever made. I sold a percentage of my holding in January 2016 when the price was around 450...That's the main mistake I have ever done with bitcoin. I should have saved it instead.

Worst decision i made with my bitcoin is gamble my btc and click wrong button and also i "all in" my bet.
And in the end, i lost on first attempt and didn't get any profit , this never be forgotten on my life.

I think my worst decision using bitcoin is not to invest it last March 2016 because at that time the price of bitcoin is only 300USD and now you can that the current price of bitcoin is averaging 650-670 USD. Too much regret at this time :(  :-[

sure the worst decision i made till now was following some cloudmining trash and i lot a few money but when i was a newbie
now i try to take the minimun risk in every trade i made

it's your worst gambling decision not bitcoin because basically if you're depositing your bitcoin to a gambling site it'll be a gambling balance not bitcoin
so it's actually not a "bitcoin" decision,although that could be used for learning to not going to gamble anything

One of the worst decisions would be buying an alt, watching the price shoot up and then still holding the coin when it plummeted, it can happen so quickly.

Best decision was taking up bitcoin in the first place.

It depends which altcoin are you reffering to because many people became rich because of the altcoins because some coins have become very popular and the price hit very high, for example lisk at its beginning, then ethereum, etc(ethereum classic) etc. Normally there is a high risk but is not a worst decision to try altcoin (after researching about that coin)

my worst decision was to trust cryptsy.

I don't have any regrets so far, which is mainly because I think out and research everything thoroughly before doing something.

Everyone should do that instead of looking for risky ways of getting high returns in a very short time.

loosing in gambling 3 times in one week i will never forget that because every time i said this is it. so for now i use only small amount of btc\alts to gamble , low risk .

I am much more sincere with bitcoin so I will not have made any worst decision for my bitcoins, I may made but currently I do not remember that, by the way I am sure that in the future I will not make any worst decision for bitcoin.

The worst decision I made that I invested My Whole Earnings in Gambling and I lost my all Money When I am A Newbie in Gambling.
And the Best Decision I made in My life that I Decided to Join This Forum when a Friend Asks me About that....

I think the worst decision from my side was to "invest" my precious Bitcoins into certain altcoins where I ended up holding the famous bag. That was for me the reason to never ever invest into altcoins again.

I can't know what mistakes I will make in the future. But in the past.. the worst one has to be gambling. I don't care about the money I've got for free from gambling (faucets) but I do care about the 0.2BTC I have lost in it. Since then, I have never played with my money anymore. I've set up a secondary pass for my wallet, and gave it to a friend. He only gives me the passcode if I don't need it for gambling. So he's helping me stay away from it. :)

This is the worst thing that you do instead of saving it and holding it you gamble all your bitcoin.. now i think you regret because the price of bitcoin right now i increasing month by month..

yeah i also had some money in it, i think that big bad decision was to gamble my bitcoins

The worstvdecision which i have evr made with bitcointalk cryptocirrency is that i jave invested my money in poor faucet site betkinh.io to increase faucet level but after that faucet is moved so fast.

I could not say I had any bad decision with my bitcoins. I am just holding it and withdrawing when I make some not bad amount. And maybe exactly that is my mistake.

That's not entirely true for all since I have actually made some profits from buying alts and selling them when they rise in value. Of course, it's not always that I make profit.
My only worst decision was that I never really trusted the opportunity I had when bitcoin was still at around $350.

1)buy @some scam ICO
2)invest @Pbmining (cloudmining)
3)invest in mining equipement istead of buying btc, would have bigger profit

Once, at the time of my beginning with bitcoin, I used to sell all my earned bitcoin whenever I get them, and at that time the price was increasing much faster, but sooner I learned that I should have to hold them for a while with me when the price are going to increase.

May I correct a little bit, maybe you mean is bitcoin cryptocurrency. Not bitcointalk cryptocurrency, because bitcointalk is a forum where we discuss this. And my advice to never invest in a site that you think is suspicious, including cloudmining, HYIP and other site faucet. thank you

Worst experience is getting involved into gambling with greediness. When I had earned few events gradually the greediness over went my limit. This ended in complete loss. At times even now the same happens.

It's not invested but that is betting, you're wrong to call that is invested because gambling is not giving a guarantee for your amount and can lose your amount at any time. but in my mind, before you agree about your decision to spending your money in gambling, I sure you know about the risk you can get from there.

So what is the question? The worst or the best? I have always said that we need to clarify our ideas before opening a new thread. This is the proper way to respect this forum, respect members and, mainly, earn the respect of others.

I remember it hapened this year, i had something like 0,20btc at poloniex and bitshares were on media, being traded at 1000 satoshis above, i thinked that the price would  touch the sky and invested all, the price dropped the 1000 satoshis day one, the next day it went even lower, i were forced to sell my coins to honor my word to make the repayment.

The do not even know at first to get me scam by some mining site because i only know is i am greedy to earn bitcoin but the worst thing happen i got scam but i think i my decision is not worst only the happening I got scam the worst thing.

Worst decision: Back in 2011 i found a small article about bitcoin on a blog i started reading it but after a few lines i decided that the subject was not so intersting for me(how dumb)and closed that page,do i need to say more?

Best decision: I'm not sure,probably when i finally decided to get involved with Bitcoin a few years later.

Someone said, “If you fail to plan then you plan to fail”. My worst decision is not making any decision which might sounds funny but that’s true.

I heard about bitcoin long ago and I really didn’t paid attention at that time (and I think bitcoin was available at comparatively low price at that time).

I am not disappointed because I believe that ‘better late than never’. Bitcoin is still undervalued and we are still in early stage so I find that I’m one of early adapter when it comes to long term. In my country less than 0.05% people know about bitcoin so I think I’m early adapter.

I think its not the worst thing, because before you gamble, you're ready to lossing your money or get profit from that. But if you're addicted in gambling, i think maybe thats the worst thing

As I'm really new, so I think so far the best decision have been to join the forum. I don't own much BTC but hopefully by the way of this forum, I'll be able to earn some bitcoin after all.

I totally agree, it's better be late than never were. Still on the young age of Bitcoin it's not to late to invest and save Bitcoin as of now that we didn't do in the previous years I heard first. About Bitcoin. There are times that I regret to buy in those times and didn't pay too much attention to Bitcoin.

Yeah the title was quite confusing too.
But we may kindly consider them. Not everyone is fluent in English.

Anyways, I think he means to know what was our worst and best decision ever made using bitcoin.
That's it. A part of giving respect is to try to understand them.

yeah even though you've joined I think not too late to join the bitcoin or join this forum. time will continue to run and I
 think you can still get a lot of bitcoin as other users. I think there is no difference between new and existing users

Worst decision I ever made? I keep some of my satoshis in my wallet and when the time came that I badly needed it, my internet connection starts to works like suck!!! and after it was fixed, my wallet started to reindex, then it keeps on failing and shutting down and keeps on re indexing that takes more than one week...  :D what the heck!!! I never should have put it there if I won't be keeping it for long... lesson learned...  :)

Huh? Worst decision? Either selling at $600 just before bitcoin hit $1200, buying at $1200, or even investing into Genesis mining. Im still getting spammed with their shitty dust.

you have to be patient to sell at the current rate is expensive

yeah i think before you do the gambling you should know what risks are there in gambling. so if you lose you will know that it is a risk
most users do not read the existing risks so that when they lose, they cursed and said that it was the worst thing

My worst decisiom ever was getting greedy everytime i bet at sports-betting sites. Last time i played i already won .08 from .002, because i got greedy i lost it instead of withdrawing it and invest at some worthy things like altcoim trading.

And my best decision until now is stop gambling and stop trusting hyips and cloud-mining sites. I just do altcoin trading now which i find profitable.

MY bitcoin worst decision I ever make was when I scattered all my bitcoins in different exchange platform, because of the exchange that I put in a bitcoins, I dont know what happen the next time I'm trying to log in all of a sudden I can't log in though I knew my username and my password but the host is not active to open it. :-[

Hahah, this is a private matter about your account that can not be opened because your mistake. Yeah, it is indeed an error in the online wallet is a forgotten wallet account keywords put us, so we can not login. This is an experience which is quite bitter and sad

The worst decision I have ever made when dealing with bitcoin was when I decided to jump into some of these ponzi schemes.  I thought that 10% per day on my money was a great return and I kept it there for a long time.  Instead of pulling out, I would always get stuck with a closed company and no bitcoin.

yeah I think you have to be careful with the sites of mining investment. because there are a lot of sites that turned into a mining investment scam may be because they have a ponzi system or they did have the intent to steal. so I think you should research before investing into the site

For me,
Worst decision: I invested a very significant amount in Hashocean.
Best decision: I pulled out of Hashocean based on a gut feeling. Got all of my funds back.

Hashocean closed down a few hours later after an alleged "hack". Dodged a bullet, but just barely.

I think i made a worst decision when i was bought altcoin almost 0.06 btc for testing.. but i lose it instead the price rise into 1 satoshi each to even 10 satoshi the price is stay at 1 satoshi and no more supply in sell wall.. so i never get back instead all my altcoin to set it to sell all..
so for those who newbie better to ask first in professional in trading before you can start trading.. athleast you have an idea.. but i learn and experience what trading works..

Do not give up a comrade, it is usual in the world of trading. And everyone has experienced it including me. hehe
We did have to be careful with altcoin, besides we can get more profit even with small capital. But on the other hand if we choose the wrong coin, the loss that we can. I think you do not need to have a teacher to learn trading, because I believe only with your active reading in this forum. You'll get a good trading knowledge, I have experienced myself :)

Trusting easy money scams, Telling you to invest your bitcoin and it will increase over time without having to do anything. Earning bitcoins without any investments is the safest and an ideal for me.

Worst decision? Investing in cex.io and not realizing that I was basically betting against the market and assuming that there would be less hashing power in the future (however I did this a long time ago and it's less impactful on me now).

Best decision? I pulled out of Bitcoin back in 2014 when the value crashed during the summer, and I got out at a decent value compared to what everyone else had to go through with.

My worst decision might be shaping up to not backing out of Bitcoin if the value dips again, like what we're seeing right now. If the drop can stop before $600 I'll think of it as fine, but if it goes lower than I might back out really quickly.

I do not ever make worst decision because before you make a decision all you know it is good but the worst think is the bad happen on your decision like if you invest in mining site at first all you know is you can earn profit on that site but the worst thing happen you got scam you do not make worst decision on that because you do not like to scam at first if you know that the site will scam you and you continue to invest that is called worst decision.

my worst mistake that i have made with bitcoin was gambling it.
now i know that gambling is not a good way of using bitcoin because the risks are high and tendency of losing is also very high.

Yes more people is lost in gambling than people who win,its only luck and skills if you want to stay in gambling be sure that you have skillful to do not lost more money, many got failed of it couse they think it's the only way to have decent amount. But if they already find this forum they will know how toearn decent without gamble thier money .

Thats right. gambling is not profitable at all. if someone play gamble and think that he'll become rich then he is must out of his mind.
gambling never make anyone rich.. I did a similar mistake and that was my worst decision of botcoin. I invested my money in a bitcoin doubler site. that time I wasn't aware of these scammers. ponzis etc. and lost all my money.

i guess it was when i bet my .02 bitcoin in gambling i get that amount for almost 2 weeks of doing some faucets and i am not on the signature campaign at that time yet and i decided to try my luck and risk my bitcoin

A lot of answers are gambling then why still continue it??  ;D Is it really that hard to stop it? Yes there are chances that you could double it but for what price? The losing side have a lot of percentage than winning. I would rather do it slowly.

That is my worst decision also. Damn gambling that is why I already stopped it.

never had to make a decision

Bitcoin has always been the first choice

:P

most people lose money through gambling and they may not admit it, heavy gamblers lose the most. Among the heaviest gamblers, 95% lost money. In this group, big losers outnumbered big winners by 128 to 1.

Yes actually. You already know that you are now losing bitcoin if you start to gamble. Many other people tend to be addicted to gambling yet they didn't know they are always losing their bets.

My worst decision was definately to use bitcoin bought at 800 usd to buy a litecoin scrypt miner from alpha technology mining.. They had promises to ship their miners 2 years ago but they keep making excuses and delaying.

My best decision: Luckily, after the first delay, I decided to pull out and sell the rights to the miner. I'm not happy to have sold it to someone unlucky now though, but the buyer knew the risk and got it for a fair price.

I agree, I sometimes consider that starting to do gambling is the worst decision I ever took with bitcoins, but I stand with it. Because along with the loss I gave I also had some nice fun and my boring nights after coming from office were made colorful.

Yeah, way back when I'm only starting to grow my bitcoins I was fun of investing HYIP sites despite I already know that site was scam. Sadly, no one from my investment returns. Then I do gambling, same no one returns. I invested in a Cloud Mining site, at first it gains profit. I reinvest, but again. No one returns. I think those are my worst decision. Continuing to invest to scam sites that makes my BTC vanish. Now im doing trading and I hope my investment now will be back with some profit in it.

Selling too early because i thought the price was going to plummet but it started rising up very fast.
I still regret doing that cause I put a lot of risk in doing that.  :-[

Probably the first ponzi I invested in it xD

Ponzis are a scourge to btc and like everyone I invested in one once ^^'

yes i am also thinking to me the worst decision will be to sell my bitcoin in present panic like situation, i think it is better to hold my bitcoin and went for a tour for a week or so. so that i may not study the bitcoin form in these days because some foolish people are selling their bitcoin in such a low rate, they cannot wait for some time, i think it is better to wait for some time because the price will start increasing just in few days.

My worst mistake that I would count on my early months when I joined in the bitcoin world is when I worked a lot on faucets and I was working more for the referral instead of referring myself and earning more than 100% myself, but that was a good lesson after but the best one was leaving earning from faucets because it was consumed too much time. I'm happy that I didn't joined gambling like lots of here which lost the money there.

Well, my best decision was probably buying when it was $600 and selling it now.

I was tempted to sell it so many times, but I sold it for a higher price in the end.  :)

I do not make worst decision because i know what is the risk behind of my decision while my best decision is to invest here in bitcoin which is gives me a lot of profit because the value of bitcoin is continuous rising like sky rocket.

Lucky to those who you referred for. If you got the skills maybe you should have just created your own faucet site.  ;D Yes it is time consuming but if you have nothing to do, it is also a good way to earn free money.

my best decision is to earn many bitcoin and don't sell it because, the bitcoin price maybe higher for the past few weeks or even months and for that i can earn bigger and i still have more time to earn more so that after a week or month, i have many bitcoin to sell at higher price. it is just a matter or waiting for you to have a great amount of bitcoin in the future.

Try to find ways to stop it. Its not a mistake, you tried how gambling is and how gambling works you tried not a mistake, but the time you start running behind profits and chasing losses you made a mistake. Visit the gambling section, a lot of suggestions have been posted there by various users.

My worst decision... I had the chance to purchase almost 75 bitcoins at like less than $10 each at EMS forums and I was specifically offered that. Later on, I was interested in the offer but found it difficult to have a wallet address in bitcoin software, so I refused to have that offer. >:(

In my case now I'm not in that stage actually, though I'm just a beginner only maybe the worst thing that I ever make is I did not believe immediately of the benefits of bitcoin. :-[

The worst decision happened last year when bitcoin were 250-300 dollars and i were going to get a loan to buy bitcoin, and i havent done those, i regret those decision till today, if i had made those i would had pay already all the debit and i would stand with several coins to invest and save.

don't want to keep long with my btc before selling or on exchange when cheap...will not allow second party or third knows of my wallet btc....keep it save...don't want to invest on non profiting sites, with my btc..

you should learn more about what benefits bitcoin future,and I am also a beginner since 3 years

You don't know what will happen so I see no mistake to that. That was year ago and $300 back then is a high price to consider after sitting for $200 above for many months.

Regret is part of bitcoin life but it you will just allow the past to pull your current life you can't move forward.

Very rightly said and if you don't want to repeat that mistake then I think you should buy some coins now or else you will regret again in future when price will be double in compare to current price.

Wow! you really have lost a golden opportunity of getting rich in a year, when such things happen someone feels really bad when he see that what an impact that thing could make it it was done.
Well my worst mistakes have always been investing on ponzis when i was new to bitcoin and those bloody scammers always used to steal hard-earned bitcoins when i was not on this forum long ago.

yeah, bitcoin just cannot be a bad decision because its price is definitely going to grow in the near future and make you some big money

So far I don't have any worst decision that I made since I started here in this field of industry. Maybe by making a decision of NOT doing Bitcoin or not involving myself here, Probably that's the worst decision. While the best decision was is I chose to be one of the BITCOIN ENTHUSIAST and I am not regret to be a part of it also. :)

Meaning it is really proven that investing in cloudmining is not advisable?does all cloudmining site company are not good? I think there is also a legit mining like bitcoin mining that we can invest in. Moreover, about in gambling I guess you learn into it, never never do it again play in gambling...

Oh my!! That was hurt, At the price we had now and that is totally sad. But don't worry it's not too late yet dude. There's a lot more chances that we can do something better than we did before. If there's a worst decision we made well there is always a right decision we can make. ;)

Well its already made and happened, I think lets continue to ride on, besides I don't see any wrong with it. As far as I can see also everybody here is still participating into it according to the topic, where you can see for the response of other's in here. :)

I think it's a very big mistake. I think if you could buy at that price. maybe now you've become rich? opportunity will not come twice. so take advantage of it dude

One of the worst decision I've made with Bitcoin is buying a MOLPoint code that only works in Australia. I live in Singapore and I have no way to redeem it. :(. I have never tried selling because I believe there is some way for me to redeem it, at least bypassing it. :P.

I think every people ever make the worst decision in their life but caused of that after making the worst decision the people is learning about it and trying never getting a trapped by the same way again.

We do commit mistakes since we are not perfect and  we dont know all stuffs  thats why we make  wrong decision but its natural for a human being to avoid it nextime since we already learned  what would be the result if do the same  way or method again. Same as you said , we learn  on our mistakes  not  even in bitcoin career but   to all of  our decisions in life.

the worst decision I ever make with bitcoin when I am not buying bitcoin when its first launch on 2009  ;D and I don't follow any news about bitcoin. until this year 2016 I've meet and know what is bitcoin. but i'm not regret it, still I am very luck I can know bitcoin as soon as I can and I think its a long journey to start following bitcoin journey itself.

I also made the same mistake. One of my friend asked to me invest in bitcoins in the start of this year when the bitcoin price was $380. At that time, i didn't have full confidence in bitcoins. Now i feel i made a mistake.

To gamble it.

ah indeed very bad gamble,so very fatal if we lose our bitcoin for gambling

Yeah this is the worst thing that i experience and have a decision before instead of saving it or use in trading i spend it in gambling for nothing..
So for now i regret what i had before.. now  i am wise because i am saving a lot and use some of them for trading to learn a lot more and to make a profit..

I agree. To feel as if you're some kind of hustler and you can take down the gambling site is just one of the worst ideas that would ever pop up on your mind. Majority of people that are gambling are doomed to lose their money after a while. They are also doomed to become addicted to it if they continue having the same mindset that they will one day beat the house.

Well i'm not regretting that i did not know about bitcoin in 2009 because at that time i wasn't mature enough to know or understand such things like bitcoin which are quite complicated for someone with an immature mind.

yeah, gambling used to be my problem either though i stopped and i dont do the same stupid mistakes over and over again

In most of the cases you are right but what if you win that single time you decide to gamble it all. You try your luck in poker which is a game of skills and you are patient enough to win the tournament. Then this turns from the worst decision to the best decision you have had in your entire life. So your short sentence is very relative although I agree that in most cases with gambling you will only burn your money and in this case your bitcoins.

but I think a lot of people, at first is not having intentions to trying a gamble maybe just trying it with free amount and later we getting some winning in gambling and appearing in their minds to depositing their money into them and finally they just get a one loss and losing all of their moany if their gamble with full amount.

yeah of course, everybody had done or chosen the wrong path in their life and I think once they do that they will receive a meaningful lesson. but I do not think gambling addicts can receive lessons when he received a great defeat

I personally think the wurst decision you could ever make when it comes to Bitcoin is not using it at all!!  There are going to be more and more advances out there which will push bitcoin further and further into the future of being the first globally acceptable single currency, if that makes any sense.

I think all of us doing good in bitcoin and we realize if there is something bad happens and we can say we do bad decision of that but in the long run i can say i do not have bad decision ever make in my bitcoin.

The worst decision I ever made with bitcoin was falling for a scam. Long story short, I staked a bitcointalk forum member in poker for 10 btc and he disappeared with my coins never to be seen or heard from again. This was back in 2012 or so. I learned my lesson.

My best decision ever with bitcoin was taking the initial plunge back in 2011 when I bought my first few batches of bitcoin.

We all have that same worst decision, we did not trust bitcoin before.  Even myself before already heard about bitcoin but of course it is such hard to believe that a programmed currency would really have a price in the market.  If only we know that bitcoin thing is real before many could have became a millionaire.  Hope that it would happen on the newly evolved altcoins in the market right now cause I have invested on them. ;)

I remember bitcoin at $250 and I really dont thing it will grow this much. I used to look at oil price and I see just one digit movement in it per barrel. Maybe I got used too much with this movement I didnt see bitcoin would go with three digit movement. It proved we cant really predict something.

Speding 50$ in btc on some crap on ebay when there was a website where you can use btc to get stuff from ebay and such

You cant compare a commodity to a digital currency because they are different in any way on how the price moves. You are right we cant  really predict the future  because we are only humans and we dont know what would happen tommorow. The things that you didnt expect to happen  would be possible.

The worst decision i've ever made was to invest on a site using my bitcoin but then i scammed by the owner of that investment. actually not just me, all of us who invested in that but i surely learned from my mistake and don't invest in un-trusted sites. Instead, i tried trading and i am glad that im earning in that. 

worst decision ? there were so many, specially on gambling. youll wagered more than you profit. and those cloud mining sucks a lot on you and others.. ive wasted enough btc on those. haha. but still youll learn from that.

gambling is risky,lest bitcoin depleted because of gambling,because of gambling we rigged it so bad

if you lose at gambling was not a bad decision, because it's a habit you gamble and hope to get lucky. My worst decision was to put investment in cloud mining and HYIP. but it was a few years ago, and now realize that it was a bad decision, because I have invested in large amount there.

I don't have any regrets so far, which is mainly because I think out and research everything thoroughly before doing something. Everyone should do that instead of looking for risky ways of getting high returns in a very short time.

Its also a bad  decision since you intend to play gambling  which you already  know that the chances of winning is small. Same as you decide to join on hyips you also decide  to join because of  hoping  profit but the ending story is still the same which all of your money was gone because of those scheme.

I think the worst decision that I ever made is depositing bigger amount in gambling site just to get back the amount that I lost. I can't control myself when it comes to gambling especially if I already have consecutive losses. I get too emotional and then I try to get back what I lost and not thinking properly, I will bet bigger amounts resulting to bigger losses and when I don't have enough funds left, that's the time I will realized and regret with my decision on depositing my hard-earned funds and then just lost it in a few minutes. For now, I try to avoid gambling as much as possible because of my experience.

That would probably getting involved with gambling in the first place, a really bad hobby and not a good thing to do when you are trying to earn money online, also not buying plenty of BTC when the price was at the $10 range.

Yes, it's risky, but you know what? high risk, high return, that's in gambling. Before gamble, you already take a risk maybe you could lossing all of your money or won a lot from that.
what do you mean by "we rigged"? if you mean it's bad playing/gamble in rigged sites, yea, it's. Just play/gamble in trusted gambling/casino sites.

I don't agree with the high risk high return cliché when it is used with gambling, the risk of gambling is an unknown and unpredictable risk which makes the gambling for earning money a bad activity.
in my opinion the high risk high reward is only true when you can measure the risks and the reward you can get and try to reduce the risks in order to keep the high reward still.

yeah, i used to gamble too and it was a really bad decision, besides that a lot of people invest into hyips and it is also really terrible i think

Probably would be investing in some suspicious sites "HYIP's" and thinking I was going to withdraw at the right time, That wasn't the case. I think these bitcoins would have been worth a pretty some if I held them to now.

Must be a shame right now to see that $10 per bitcoin is now priced at roughly $600. I wish I could go back in time too, maybe 2009 or 2010 and buy at least $10 worth of bitcoins. That maybe roughly 700 bitcoins before and just imagine how much of an investment growth I will be having right now. But in reality, there are no viable way to undo the worst life time mistakes this is not only regarding bitcoin system, for all life opportunities too.

we all wish the same thing but every single one of us would repeat what we did back in 2009 which was ignoring bitcoin and not buying it.

this is the exact same thing which is happening right now, people are ignoring bitcoin and its potential and resist buying it when it is cheap then the price rises and everybody starts regretting but still they don't buy, then it rises again and the same story goes on forever.

Wow, that's a decision that is not good. Because it will only make you experience a defeat for long periods of time. I prefer to trade rather than investing in the world online. For I think that majority of investment sites (online) using the system or ponzi HYIPS and it will not give the advantage to me

My worst decision in bitcoin was when i was investing my bitcoin on a hype platform that ran away with my bitcoin that was when i was still new in bitcoin but now i think that i am more wise

and my best decision was when i started trading bitcoin (i was very profitable for me)

The bottom line, we all don't know what will happen back then so it's not really a wrong move if we have such thinking that bitcoin will not be on what it's standing it today.

More importantly, we are now here today so continue to acquire more coins as we now all know what bitcoin can bring.

As we all know that ponzi sites  are really just a waste of money since  we know already that they would definitely run  our money which is  not good  because we only let them to  be rich while we are suffering from losses. Thats why i stay away immediately when i encounter new hyips which promises high return which is really decievingespecially when you are a newbie.

Sometimes rather than to blame people for this, I like them to feel the output by themselves.

Warnings are not enough for those people who want some money without putting much work so they choose to invest in HYIP. So it's better if they will see for themselves what will happen if they invest in such investment like those.

Yes usually their victims are newbies who dont have idea in hyip or ponzi site, its convincing to believe because of the high return they promise. i think some of us has experience in joining and got scammed and i think thats the worst decision that we made.

it is not only newbies, i have sadly seen older members and older experienced people think these sites are actually working and they are so eager to invest in these scam services for a quick profit.

i always say it is a lot better to make a bet on a dice site with a 2x multiplier instead of investing in a bitcoin doubler.

Instead of going for dice, I will prefer to go for sports betting as there is always an chance to make profits in it you can read the game and if you have good strategy.

Yup , unlike the other gambling games , sports betting has expert tipster in this forum so you can get good amount if you pick right choices for your bet , as sports betting is the easiest gambling games than dice , slot , and blackjacks where the most of games is based of luck

My worst decision was playing in bustabit.com site and then playing in dice game and losing most of the coins, after that i found one of the script in bustabit and recovered the lost bitcoin, and now only doing sports betting as i have some knowledge about cricket and by following my instinct i have made a good profit.

There is no guarantee that you will always make profits in sports betting as it also depends on luck and I don't think that any strategy can be useful in gambling.

Past is past and what's done is done. There's really no 'worst' mistake that can be done since it's only a subjective personal experience of what will be considered the 'worst'. Everything can happen, and will happen. We can't really always avoid that but what we can do however is accept it head on and be over with it.

Well, I think that it can give you good, but also bad experiences, and it requires from you a lot of patience and self control, if you really want to have good returns.

The worst decision I made was investing my coins in doubler site hoping to double it in few hours, I was newbie at that time and was not aware about the scams happening around.

Gambling was the worst decesion of my life but its never the late i did hard work to solve my bad habbit and i re gained all the money i have wasted at there.ans now i just play it for fun not to earn

That was good if you break that bad habit to break. :)  Gambling was the same problem that I have heard that was the worst thing they dis with their bitcoins.  It becomes addictive once you started to win and once you lose, you will always wanted to win again.  So it is just like any vices like smoking, drinking alcohols, and taking prohibited drugs.

If you want to have fun then there are many other ways to have it, why you want to have fun only from gambling, don't you find any other places to get entertained?

I also prefer dice over investment and putting money into doublers and triplers because they are all ponzi and rather than loosing my money to the owner's thrust I would rather like to play dice and try my luck. Because at least i know I lost and win because I was lucky and unlucky.

Everyone like you should have to understand that gambling is not a lace of earning money but it is a place for having fun and entertainment, and those who come there to earn and invest bigger amount are at wrong and will lose all of their money.

I remember this moment when bitcoin price around $640-680, that's a good price I think because a few days later the price fall down below $500 and stay still under $600 for a month but today what we waiting for happened, it just reach $600 again, touch down.
You might felt get a little profit, but how about next year prices that should be reach $700-1000 better to hold and not sell your bitcoin.

bro, I bet ~10btc in satoshiDice in jan 2013, but in that time BTC worth only U$20-23. Then, I think one or two months after the value was about 10x, in november, it was like 100x. I lost ~U$200, but U$20.000 in future money --- but it's not so bad because I understand this things and it's not predictable. That's my experience.  8)

That is a new decision and discussion all-together because some people like sports betting while some like dice and some like skill based games. I think I never made a worst decisions because every-time I made a bad decision I always come up with a solution ( like I once made tx with low fees then it got confirmed late but it did )

I think its very strange thing to invest money in site scam site. When will people learn about it, I read a lot and that kind of mistakes I will never make. Simply I'm staying far away from that kind of services.

Well except that all my coins goes to gambling or I'm converting coins into cash, I don't save coins on a side. That is only bad thing I belive, I should start save from beginning. Other mistakes are connected with gambling, but that doesn't have nothing with bitcoins.

Lol bustabit just rely on luck to get the win. so I think before you play you have to know the risks that exist in bustabit. so you will not lose too big

If you have made enough profits from gambling then I think you should quit gambling and withdraw your profits and save some of them for future and with some you can go for trading.

my worst decision was to invest in HYIP websites like bitgain and bitcodaily from then I promise not to invest in HYIP

and my best decision was to join coince and bitcointalk because both had benefited me in a way or 2. thanks for making a profitable websites live long.

Can i know where i can do betting on cricket? I want to give it a try because i love cricket and has quite a good knowledge about it so i guess i can be able to make some good predictions about the matches coming up.

Gambling is not suggested but you can bet on directbet.eu its the best live sports betting site and you don't have to create a account or make initial deposits, you can directly send your bets to their btc address, and if you win they will do the same.

The best decision I've ever make is when I decided to join myself in bitcoin world were I can have a chance put savings for the future. And enjoy the benefits f bitcoin has.

I agreed to him, You don't a teacher at all in this field of industry. even me I learned trading through observation on the exchange platform of they trade and when was the right timing to sell the coins. Just be observant only to the members in this forum then little by little find out the technique to become an experts trader though I'm not in that position yet.

That was a good idea of yours too. I also started earning  Bitcoin without en-cash of money in my pocket. I just started to earn bitcoin  from the faucets sites, and joining in the potential ico signature campaign after the event period there is a bounty reward for you to receive.

actually, I don't have any regret to be here in bitcoin currency/virtual money. Because in the first place I know there is risk once you /we decided to be involve in crypto currency. Meaning once you decided to become a bitcoiner worst is just a part of our journey here.

The worst decision  i ever made with ny bitcoin is to put all of ot on gambling but luckily at that time i am not earning that much than now and luckily i also learned from that mistake

Honestly trading is not easy but if you are doing a right way you can make a good profit from it.. i am not doing other peoples doing in trading i just observe and learn to my self actually other people are giving some tips that it can not help you because they are giving new altcoin that you didnt know if there is a potencial or not.. it is better to always go in coinmarketcap and check the graph of every top 20 altcoin and after you analyze you can invest what altcoin you choose.. this is what i am doing and i am making a good profit with it.

Playing in any gambling site actually is not a good idea. I think you need to lessen it little by little, so that your bitcoin will not turn into waste. But this only my tips of advice still the decision is your if you gonna do it or not.

The worst decision i made in bitcoin is i played gambling and i tried to double my bitcoin in the website where i think it easy to double because i tried to bet low and when it come to high bets are get lose and the rest of my bitcoin i invest it on some website that they promise to pay as more than we invest and they ran after that.

so far I don't have any worst decision that I make at the present time now. Because I am very thankful to the member here in bitcointalk forum. With there experience  I'm aware for everything which I must not do, like investing in any kind of cloudmining site and giving a tips for not playing in any gambling sites too.

Its good to know that you have learned from this forum that what is right and what is wrong, and you invested  your time in reading the experience of people to avoid losses.

Mine was probably when I started getting into Investor-based Games and ponzis- I actually did make quite a good amount of money from them, but I lured so many people in... :/ i dont really do that much at all anymore, and I stick to traditional gambling casinos. I haven't won too much from those, but they're pretty fun to play.

Well regret is something which you can take on like if not this at this moment than what etc? See if at that moment you feel this is better for you, you do that which is a positive return. then dont think much about it.

Yeah same here i am also regret about what happen in gambling even investing in hyip i thought that i can make a good amount in that sites.
So right now i am wise and smart i do not invest again in hyip's and not gamble all my savings into nothing.

I think we all have committed  that mistake in the past by investing at the wrong place, but now we have learned from our mistake and we will never invest in those sites.

Certainly mistakes would always going to be a part of each ones life. It gives us lessons that we can used in our life. It also helps us to become a better person as long as we can always take and accept our mistakes.

yeah gambling sometimes are really bad to be honest thats why i never do it, in my opinion it would bring me only losses and nothing else

Hey friend 90% of us have made the same mistake but the bright point for you is that you realized that gambling is wrong and if you see in gambling section there are most people who still gamble and they will regret later :( . My worst I can not choose since I made terrible ones.

Same here with me..

As a newbie I lost many times in gambling in the past, every time I used to feel that this time I will win it big and recover the past losses, but unfortunately that day never came and I kept on loosing more and more.

The worst mistake that I have made I would say is believing in a HYIP scheme when i first started out in using bitcoin.
I made the little amount that I had from faucets and put it all into one of these investment sites.
They started paying for the first two weeks but then it slowly died and stopped with the increments to my account all the sudden. I made almost what I had put in but still lost 10mbtc of my bitcoins.
Never again will I trust in those HYIP sites. They are only in it for making money or in this case bitcoin for themselves. :-[

I so far haven't had any serious decisions that went poorly for me in recent memory, thank goodness, but I have loss some money to random addresses due to me inputting the wrong address in my send feature, however that's only something like $2-3 that I've lost, so nothing major.

I think betting is not the only option is you are not going to invest in doublers, because you can stock the bitcoins and then wait for the price to increase.
The best decision I personally ever made with bitcoins was to buy some bitcoins when price was 200$ around.

Well that's a simple question lol worst decision was selling bitcoin very very cheap which I prefer not to talk about because it still stings, and the best decision was to actually look into bitcoin, cause it make me a good portion of money and entertainment

I'm just wondering, how did you get wrong with the address? If you have invented a random address out of nothing it will probably fail to send and you will get your coins back, right? Unless, you had copied the wrong address (but a valid address) that was not supposed to be sent to.

That was not a mistake. You've chosen to put it all out of your own will. Then you will call it a mistake when you lose? So what if you won?
A better term would be a "lesson".  :D

A bad decision that I made was to buy Bitcoin when the price was way to high but I had the money and I did not really understood it.
If I had more knowledge back then I would have handle it different. 

Sometimes we do the things which we are not supposed to do but we don't realize it that time so later on we say that we did a mistake by doing that thing, so we can actually call it a mistake though it teaches you a lesson but at the end it was a mistake done by you.

The stupidest and the worst decision i ever had is when i used my hard earn bitcoin and join HYIP, i was tempted by the high return of profit, it cost me 0.3btc, but after that lost i learned my lesson, the best decision i made is joining and investing my fund into bitcoin, until now bitcoin has given me a great profit, although it hasnt enough to support my life but at least i have saving for my future

Exactly, it has added value to our wealth which can be more valuable in future when price goes higher, and we all have lost our coins in the past either in ponzi or gambling.

therefore do not try to gamble if you are not ready with all the risks that exist on gambling? I think before you try to gamble you have to know what might happen when you gamble

Not sure where you got the meaning of mistake but it wasn't the dictionary "an action or judgment that is misguided or wrong.
"coming here was a mistake to reply to you because you will probably not learn from it, so I am wrong thinking it might" it was indeed wrong and misguided to gamble what little money the poster above had. AKA a mistake.

OP my worst decision was also to gamble but I dealt with that early on and only play poker now. It balances out because my best decision was taking a jump into crypto in the first place.

HYIP is really high risk investment like gambling and 0.3 bitcoin investment is really big amount that you lose. My worst decision is when i still newbie about bitcoin and want buy bitcoin, i get scammed by someone because i easily trust someone and it cost me 0.5 bitcoin.

Where did you loose 0.5 btc? Did you lend someone or invested in any online site as its really difficult to trust someone in bitcoin world as most of them are ponzi and scam sites.

The worst decision I made with my bitcoin was investing in a hyip which was paying from a few days and I thought that I could turn my 0.7btc 2 folds in one go in a few days.

But after a few days on the day before my payment the owner ran away and website got closed. After that I've learned my lesson and never invested in that kind of a program.

i used to lose bitcoins either all the time though right now i stopped gambling and i am actually holding all my bitcoins right now only

I actually think it can really give you a good or some bad experiences and, of course, it requires from you a lot of patience and especially self control, if you intend to have good returns.

Yes its better not to get greedy and waste money in gambling, as the percentage of loosing will be definitely higher then winning and it should be avoided to save more coins for future.

It's pretty simple. When you gamble, expect to lose so that you will not get disappointed. That also applies to trading. Always expect to lose because there is always that hidden, unexpected factor that will instantly change your chances. I believe that entering into gambling must be a worst decision for many bitcoiners here.

Honestly gambling is one of the good source to make you double your money but it is not the case because they made gambling to give entertainment to people not for making a profit.. also in trading just invest their that you can afford to lose..  and you will learn in the future..

They call it entertainment then start getting greedy and eventually loose.
Then if the loss is big they say I will never gamble again and if the loss is small they will somehow say to themselves that " at least I had fun " while they were tensed all the time when they were gambling.

I think gambling is most often made someone cry of course because they are the wrong choice. thus making them big losers are poor or even to lose all their money. I never played bustabit and I busted a couple of times. but it was not the worst decision. because I always control my game so I have limited balance in the wallet to gamble. so it does not make me a big loss

Not buying bitcoin when I first known about bitcoin in 2012, Not spending effort to learn about it and not considering to buy some BTC. I guess it's better late than never and there are still some who don't know about it till now..

Well, the best decision I made recently is maybe earned Bitcoin when the current price was still around $350 and then I sell it when the price was around $600.

The worst decisions that i made with bitcoins so far is that When i was new i wasted alot of time and effort on faucets to earn pennies which were just wasted a lot of time of mine and i joined this forum bit later,where i founded more good earning oportunities.I wish i could have joined a bit more earlier but still i am pretty happy to be here right now.

As a newbie we all have spent time on faucets sites in the past as we were not aware about the other ways of earning it, but that cannot be treated as worst decision as we have earned some santoshis from there.

And didn't they know that because they spend time on faucets they seek much on how will their time will be worth it?

Without those efforts made by those newbies doing faucets as method to earn bitcoin, they will not realize that they must need to find other way to earn bitcoin that is really worth to spend their effort and time.

Unless they are not guided by an experienced person, it will be difficult for them to find trusted way to earn bitcoins as when it comes to online world most of them are scams.

Some cases might be like that but in my case, I seek other methods because after months of doing faucets I really feel exhausted and the amount I received in bitcoin is just a small amount so I think of the other way to make some improvement in my bitcoin earnings.

And now luckily, I have been able to found out other methods which really gives me a decent earnings on a regular basis.

I think we entered faucets sites at the wrong time, as my friend said that in 2009 there were many faucets sites that were paying around 5 btc per day, but at that time we were not part of bitcoins.

faucet is such a good start and really useful for future,from it we can learn about bitcoin furthermore so when we just know any other way that's really profitable to earn bitcoin then we're already educated about bitcoin,so it's not a waste time at all,we will still get something useful out of faucet

The worst decision I've ever done collect bitcoin for 5 months 0.8 bitcoin and lost for 30 minutes play poker the price at that time was high,poor experience when knowing bitcoin. my best decision now do something to be thought about carefully think big risk or not I will not repeat my mistakes.

My worst decision was when in 2012 I heard about Bitcoin and I told me "That toy won't live long". Everyone knows what happened then :'(...

People keep on saying that its a waste of time but why should we miss an opportunity to earn free bitcoins as we never know that if price reaches to the moon in future then this earnings will be also more valuable.

Cannot be called "decision" but I regret a little when I remember that I did not know of bitcoin earlier.
If I knew that this would be going to be a success, I made use of it full-time right from the start.

Do not regret about the past, you should be satisfied that finally you are at the right place where you can earn bitcoins according to your capabilities and talent which will make you financial stable in future.

honestly gambling would give you way too much risk and i would definitely not do that in my opinion because i would most probably only lose money

If you're lucky, you can win instead of losing. You've got 50/50 odds. If you're playing with affordable amounts, you can have fun and winnings too.

you shouldnt tell that to people that gambling is a good source to make your money because it is not, it can actually break your life in my opinion as you will lose everything

Yeah you cannot suggest any one to go for gambling it earn money from it as most of the times you will loose and it will also affect your life for sure and make you bankrupt.

bustabit is a game that uses pure luck. you will not know until when the odds will stop rising. so I think you were before you play bustabit you should know the risks you're going to face and losses that will occur. so when you lose you will not blame the game and do not forget to remain in control of victory

aall the games with pure luck only is a really bad decision to make because you will most probably lose everything on it thats whhy i dont do it

thats true though in my opinion its not the worst decision you can do, it would be way worse if you invested your bitcoins into a ponzi

We should keep ourselves away from ponzi and gambling as we are well aware what will be the end result and at the end of the day we will be loosing everything that we have.

my worst decision was not backing up my wallet ( it was long ago but still a big loss (((

My worst decision was to played my bitcoin in gambling site. I thought i gonna double the amount of my bitcoin but unfortunately it doesn't. Then after i lost all my bitcoin i decided to stop playing gambling and started to joined in btctalk signature campaign.

That is a common mistake made by all of us and we are still regretting on it, but the money that has lost cannot be recovered but we can ensure ourselves that we will not wast our anymore in gambling.

But you know that mistake is sometimes good since people will just have 2 options after experiencing some gambling loss, to chase the loss or to stopped doing gambling.

People sometimes needs to experienced itself the output of what they are doing before making such enlightment in their mind and good example for here is playing on gambling.

I guess the worst decision that you will ever make is to trust somebody or some company out there. Just because a website looks professionally done and legit, doesn't mean that their company is also legit. There's a lot of website makers out there who can make a well designed website and even an average computer user can now make a well designed website for there's a lot of good templates out there.

and you need a more knowledge about the private key, and I sure about that. placing the private keys become a general thing before using or choosing wallet for storing your money.
