Hi all! I got into cryto this same time last year, I wanna share with you the dumbest thing I did as a noob back then, and it still haunting me.

I created a new ethereum wallet last year I stocked it up with 25eth..am very poor at that time eth was 4$ each I think..that was the most I could afford, I was using an ethereum client node, unfortunately for me I wrote down my wallet address instead of the private key. Now m been haunted by that fact I could have been a millionaire in my country..#dumbestthingyoudidincrypt

I have invested around 1 bitcoin in one of the ponzi when price per bitcoin was only around $500, lost all of it but at current price total amount that I have lost is around $17000  Angry

Also just like you I have forget to make proper backup of my myetherwallet where I have around 10 ETH.

You guys are making me feel much better about accidentally cutting, not copying my Komodo seed from a notes file last week after a few too many bourbons and losing 200 coins. Aside from that it would likely be not holding the BTC/ETH etc when I first started dabbling in September. On the plus side I've tripled my portfolio since Nov.

Also just like you I have forget to make proper backup of my myetherwallet where I have around 10 ETH.

Only consider the loss of 500$ at that time because you might have sold at that moment itself had it being in your wallet. I regret now that I had earned some fractional btc for the work done for them and I spent in my early days to purchase  something for myself. Only if I calculate at present value it is a nightmare to me that i bought it multiple times costly stuffs for others and myself.

I bought 200 LTC at 5, sold at around 75. Can't complain EVER when ringing the cash register though - it is what it is. I wound up selling for ETH and doubled or so still. Made a few similar moves to that one, whatevs.

Also, my first move in crypto was investing 5 ETH into UKG.

Purchased those ETH for about $270 each.

5 ETH today = $3100
My 3972 UKG = $700  Huh

Ico are the worse scam now..even if they don't scam you. Holding BTC would have been far off better..if only we know earlier

Dumbest thing I did? Well I didnt pay attention on crypto before. I didnt see future for this kind of thing. But then look at me now, Im here and Im totally astonished by how this thing goes. I cannot say that Im a pro at this but Im pretty sure that Im not the only one. So for all those newbies out there I will suggest to you that keep on reading reliable articles. Study how this thing works and Ill guaranteed you a sweet taste of success. You should have plan first before going to any transaction like trading or buying some alt coins. Seeking advice on people with the same perspective would be a great advantage for you. Good luck!

regret is a normal thing that crypto users feel. sold my bitcoins when the price cheap around $500 and regret now because the price increased pretty high. At that time I never thought the price can reach $1000 but now $16000. I'm shocked

Sending coins and $$$ to scammers. I am still doing that. I can't understand all the work they make to earn 50$. They could make 500$ with the same work legal  Roll Eyes

The dumbest thing i've ever done is sending eth from exchange wallet to smart contract, i don't know how things work back then and i thought i can use exchange ethereum address. Loss about 3 eth because i can claim the token from the exchange.

Like an idiot with know knowledge of this space...well Mark Cuban is backing it, it has to be good!

I'm confident UKG will eventually turn a profit, but I'd still rather have those 5 ETH back Smiley
