It is because of this that sometimes I do not understand why the forum is not more popular, a great deal of the information that you can find on youtube or social media are lies or exaggerations that distort the truth.
But here, even if you can find that as well, the mistaken information is immediately challenged, so there is not much time for newbies to read incorrect information about the market, however I suppose that people prefer to believe the lies they are told there instead of actually listen to the truth here.
The forum has helped a lot of people including me, I remembered the days I keep on losing money trying to invest in Altcoins, it is very painful to remember because I believe if now I would not make such stupid decisions and will apply caution to my investment. We keep on learning every day both in the forum, outside and through someone's experiences or our past experiences that's a good step to acquire more knowledge.
Do not chastise yourself that hard, at the beginning it is very common for new investors to make mistakes, that is simply part of our journey since at the time it is difficult to distinguish what is a good advice from a harmful one.
The danger is that many investors never overcome that stage and they either lose everything or they get discouraged by their dismal results, only those that persevere and look for the truth can see past the lies they have been told and understand how this market really works.
