Hi,
Newbie getting back into crypto after many years.
I decided to gamble a bit and put a few hundred dollars into this 'bitcoin layer 2' project called bitcoin hyper.
Apparently it is another layer 2 project that is using a solana virtual machine and canonical bridge to enable a wider range of bitcoin applications.
The logical part of my brain tells me that layer 2 projects for bitcoin are going to become quite important for the future of bitcoin as a currency hence the decision.
The thing is i've heard about an equal number of people say it's a scam and that it is legit.
Will I ever see my money again?

Just accept that you lost, learn from it, and make sure to avoid mistakes the next time you invest in the crypto industry, OP. That’s really the life of an investor we lose and we win.
There’s still a lot you need to learn in this crypto business.
You won’t succeed right away here. You’ll go through many things where the bad experiences outnumber the good ones, where you actually make good earnings from cryptocurrency.
Just don’t give up and keep learning.
