hello everyone my name is Cynthia am in my early 20's first time I would be using the word newbie, but yes I am a newbie, I really don't know if my post will make sense or would be liked, well before now I have lived a life of careless investment along with my friends we are what you can call, bring an new platform/industry and we would invest without doing our research, well I don't know what luck it is called but some way or the other we have always been winning and a small lost here and there, but the winnings are little.
so there was this particular platform, with mouth watering benefits my friend came across on whatsapp called Bitcoin invest, we really didn't know much about bitcoin only that it was a cryptocurrency, infact we didn't know what cryptocurrency is about at this time I had no money, but my friend had money she had kept aside for something very important, she actually joined the whatsapp group and the admin was good with words promising heaven and earth, my friend fell for it (I too would have but I had no money on me or any one kept aside), long story short my friend invested and after few weeks got blocked and removed from the group, she is still devastated up till this day.
since the lost I have taken an interest in Bitcoin and from what I have come across I and my friend has faulted in almost all the don't of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, we were very reckless and it had to take a misfortune for us to learn, I know many personally who are still making mistakes in cryptocurrency.
I think I have so much to learn and give out to those I can, the few I have learnt
+ don't investment with money that's not yours or you can bear losing
+ don't fall for smooth promises
+ investigate what you want to invest in
Am still learning, I have already read the rules, and am hoping I can become good in cryptocurrency and maybe expose fakes and scams to others around me
a lot of us been there were we didn't that much about crypto or investments in general and how they work and what are the most common scams, and i admit that back in 2015, I almost fell for what I think is the dumbest thing ever, doubling your bitcoin, I Don't know if you're familiar with that but back in the days there were a lot of website claiming that they will double the amount you send them right away, send them 1 bitcoin and get 2 in return, luckily I didn't send them anything but I still thought that it could be legit, now I know how dumb I was, we live and learn, whether it's from our mistakes or others or even mistakes we avoided.
