For me, it is absolutely Musicoin. I have lost more than 70% and I sold it. I sold because the coin was still falling. At the moment the price is half of my sell level.
Never invest long-term in a crypto which has high mining capacity.

I was reading about ICON and I thought they we're bluffing for some reason, ouch was I wrong. Not getting into that was the worst mistake. It can get worse so I consider myself lucky that that was my worst mistake.

I missed out on Fota at the ico due to the website crashing. I was so pissed I was determined to buy at exchange launch (this was my first buy of a launched coin at exchange) ... from looking at past launches saw that there is an initial spike at launch so...I bought quickly at launch at 3x. unfortunately this was in Q1 and the pretty much every Q1 exchange launch has started at 3x and dropped back to ico price or below.
so now I have Fota which I bought at about 6.5 x of current price.

I still have hope this will come back later this year and I can break even at least.

Fortunately, I didn't have big mistakes with the projects I did research and invested into. However, I had some bad calls regarding airdropped coins. I sold Blue quite below the peak and I have been left hold a sizeable bag of PoS token. It just shows once again that you shouldn't put even beer money in projects you are not deeply familiar with.

Most of my investments are relatively good but I think I have should invested in coins like kin and bat that can be listed on coinbase and ones who care community.

My worst investment was to listen to twitter people while buying and selling alts. And also trading view analysts who only knew how to draw a fibonacci and make up buy sell targerts
Why did I make those mistakes? Cuz I was a newbie and an idiot.
Always try to learn some technical stuff before you do investment.

I've had the worst investment in cryptocurrency when I just got to know cryptocurrency. Since most read about investing in cryptocurrency is promising so I forgot to learn about cryptocurrency. I don't know the way how to invest, I don't know the price of cryptocurrency is volatile that I know just saves money and I leave. It's not that easy, my brain always thinks about profit and promises so when bitcoin prices drop drastically and I instantly sell my bitcoin and I lose half my money. That's the worst thing I've ever done when investing in cryptocurrency, I do not want to repeat it.

The biggest mistake was that I did not install two-factor authorization on the exchange. As a result, 0.5 bitcoin was lost or $ 10000

I think the worst cryptocurrency investment mistake I’ve made by far was when I invested on a certain coin and it increased more than twice its amount, although I was going to withdraw the gains I then decided not to withdraw because I thought it was really a good coin and maybe I got greedy a little, thought maybe in a few years I could profit even more. But now it’s way half the price I bought it and I’m hoping once the market gets better it’d return back to the price I once bought it in.

a mistake was indeed made the lesson. my mistake was to neglect his appearance early in crypto and ignore the actual investment of all kinds are very promising. Maybe if I was interested from the beginning maybe I could have greater results in the time quickly.

maybe this is my mistake that happened last month, I invested to ico but after ico has finished, it turns ico into a scam and I can not access their site and its telegram group. this is a mistake I have made, because I am not careful in doing the research. but it's okay, because every investment must have risks. from now on we must be more thorough and always discuss before we invest in an ico.

Falling to John McAffee shill at twitter and buying Sether on ICO without researching anything about the project. It is still dipping quite hard, and since then I always do my own researches.
The biggest one is not having proper risk management on my portfolio and not cutting losses.

The worst thing that I did in investing cryptocurrencies when selling my coins at low prices.I remember last year, I have 2 BTC  and start trading in exchanger and I bought Stratis coin in low price ranging 7k sat to 8k stat, Then after I bought, the prices crash but not totally, So I decided to sell all my Stratis even I know that I'm losing, then after a few weeks the price of Stratis is skyrocketing to its all-time high.I just regret my decision to sell them all.I just learn that patience is the only key to success.
