Don't be scared to start all-over

[Jostern]

That is what scammers do they will first of all make you have trust in them initially it will be like you are winning it until they have made you invest hugely with them, it's then you will realized that you have been scammed. What causes this is greed, the desire to get rich quick, no better investment that will guarantee you quick profit it always take process and time. But your advice to start over is good it's better to fall and rise and also gain some new experience from your previous experience.

Trust is a very strong word, when it gets to do about meeting people on the internet is something that every individual have to be very careful about people you meet online, you have to be very careful about anything that has to do with investment in the internet, where somewhere else have control over your investment, most of this investment people do online are just a Ponzi scheme and they wouldn’t know about that, it’s more like you’re given profits for you to trust them and trust their platforms, it doesn’t work that way, you have to work for money and make money with different efforts instead of investing on Ponzi schemes, but immediately you have trust them, boom that is when they run away with your money, it’s good that you picked yourself up because there are people who might not be able to get back from such a situation of loosing money to scammers.

Scammers capitalize on individual ignorance to get into them, when they initiate a conversation with you, the observe whether you are,  interested in what they are saying, and this is through your response and your compliance to what they asked from you, once you are doing all they asked, it will take by the grace of God for them not to succeed.
Of course, the major reason for scam is lack of contentment, greed has caused many Bitcoin enthusiast a whole lot, but that's a lesson learnt, i know that not everyone will learn in this painful way, good a thing, op made a wise choice to start all over again, despite how small it is, and good a thing, he has learn his lessons

I believe if you take a step back and repeat the steps that led to the loss then it isn't really starting over. Reimbursement is not the end all, be all, it must be the means to an end, which is rebuilding your decision making. In crypto that means trading less, not taking part in any offers that rely on trust in a stranger and holding funds in wallets that you control. If it alters your risk assessment risk assessment, then the previous loss can turn into a blessing. You may start again with less money, but you don't necessarily start again with the same knowledge.

Almost 4 years ago i came to know about Bitcoin and Crypto currency then i started to learn about it earlier i have only some information about it at that time i saw this platform as i will  became rich from this very earlier after that i invest money on it without searching about it and becoming greedy i start trading with big laverage in which i face a big lose after this lose i became disheart and i decided to leave the trading.

But i do not do this and i decided to completely learn about it after that i control my avarice and decided not do trading and decided to gain complete information about crypto and trading after that for 2 years i just watch the charts and after these 2 years i started trading after that i start the trading with small laverage and then recover my ancient lose after that by this i am doing trading and earning profit if i skip trading after this lose so i will never reach to this stage

Profit and lose are a part of life and we should learn from this move on .....

My point here is starting all-over is better than staying off completely. It's better to have slow growth than taking no action at all

It’s very hard for most people to put themselves together and start all over again,but no matter what after learning the hard way it’s crucial for one to start all over again in a right way if they wish.Just like I said most people still find it difficult to give their trust to a space that once scammed them in the past.Don’t you think there’s an advantage of learning the hard way?now that you’ve realized that you shouldn’t trust a random person on the internet,you would just stick to your holding without seeking validation from a total stranger on the internet.There’s no harm in starting over but it would be better if you’re cautious and updated in the crypto space.

We learn either from personal mistakes or from others, which ever way it's learning, in the crypto space there are different people with different experiences that have become like a positive advantage for some and negative for some.
Learning from our mistakes in the crypto space should make us stronger determinate and not to quite because we make mistake or others did. It might be painful though just like a friend of mine who bought little amount of Bitcoin and someone  sent home some online links which he clicked and after some days he should no longer display his coins they where all gone. But he never gave up and doing well currently.

I am very happy I came across this because it's similar to what happened to me but in my case I wasn't scammed, I am a trader and I lost all my capital in 2024 when I was a full time trader. At first I thought I would get back what I lost with the help of some investors but I couldn't find any, that was when it dawned on me that I had made a terrible mistake. I was down for a while, even longer than I anticipated which was depressing but I refused staying down. I got a job which didn't pay much but I was determined to get back up at all cost and no matter how long it'll take. Day after day, night after night I kept putting in work like I'm still doing and things began to unfold. The result may be slow but a win is a win and I believe with time more opportunities will reveal itself.

In Bitcoin journey, it's good to experience the the good and bad of it so that you can become a master. My father ones told me that if there's no failure there can't be success.

You don't have to make mistakes and experience failure before you can learn your lessons. Most of the issues you're facing are things others have equally faced and some of made mistakes in the process which means that if you want to learn your lesson, you have them as good examples that you can learn your lesson from.

If someone learns from mistakes and corrects himself, then that mistake is not a loss for him. It should also be known that learning does not have to be done only from mistakes, one can also learn from the mistakes made by others. All that is needed to learn is the will. Those who gain experience from the mistakes of others can save themselves from mistakes and at the same time save a lot of time. That is, if someone makes a mistake, not only does he lose money, but he also loses time. Sometimes it is very difficult to correct a mistake. Those who learn from the mistakes of others will be able to gain that lesson without losing anything. Before starting any anything, one should have a good idea about the risks involved in that matter. However, even if all the plans are made according to the plan, many times the situation is bad, but there is also a need to have the courage to hold oneself at that time and how to start without getting discouraged.

I completely agree with your point. Fundamentally, learning from others' mistakes is a wise approach. It helps you avoid making those same errors yourself, thereby preventing both material and non-material losses. Of course, everyone ever makes mistakes, especially when just starting out in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, but major blunders are the ones people talk about most, and those are precisely the lessons you need to learn to avoid suffering such significant setbacks.

That is why I advise everyone, especially beginners; to approach their entry into crypto wisely by reading up extensively on the topics you want to understand. Furthermore, it is better to learn about the things you don't know yet, rather than diving in blindly without any knowledge at all. By the way, you can find a wealth of crypto-related information right here on this forum we all love, and you can ask about anything you haven't been able to find elsewhere. So, don't hesitate to take the time to learn first.

You see, I’ve come understand that the major reason why many people easily get lured into online scams is simply because of their own greed. They see or are presented with an opportunity that’s too good to be true and rather than questioning it to find out what it’s really about, they just allow their greed to completely blind their rational thinking and push them into trusting and taking blind risks without even conducting an extensive research and investigation on what they’re about to put their money into.

Yes, that's right. Mistakes in trading or investing shouldn't be seen as losses but as very valuable lessons. Because with mistakes we can learn to do better in the future and avoid losing money and time again. 

That's why having this basic understanding in trading or investing is really important because with that knowledge every loss can be turned into a valuable lesson, not just a scary failure that makes us afraid to start over. Losses are a normal part of the trading process and even big losses don't have to make us quit entirely. In fact the experience from previous failures makes us more prepared when starting again. Our mindset will naturally form that experiences are very valuable, so starting from scratch with the experiences we already have actually gives a better chance to grow and we can also avoid making the same mistakes.

It’s absolutely human nature to want these gains or go into transactions that might be very appealing, offering a lot in return than others and within a short period of time too. Scammers do know this and they don’t fail to use it because, it’s what you would want.

Being able to check and balance the risk is always a duty you owe to yourself and should do. If it goes wrong, am I willing to part with it? Would I be okay with that?… asking and answering these questions can be one way to decide and take the next best step.

You’re very correct, trust is the most powerful thing in life. Especially when it has to do with meeting people in the internet or anything that has to do with online investment. We need to be very careful.  We should be extremely cautious especially when someone wants to be in charge of your money, because all this scammers uses fake profits and good promises to gain people’s trust, before they can disappear with people’s money.

 So before you engage in any online investment first do a proper research and have clue on where your money is going. Not all platform that promise high return are genuine.

If there's anything I can do with someone online, it has to be something that is not serous or important because the internet is filled up with scammers. The most shocking part of it is that they have all the necessary tools they can use to convince you to believe in their lies, you may be feeling that you're dealing with a reliable person but at some point you will see that they are not who you think they are.

The advice I could give to anyone here is that, we shouldn't discuss anything that is related to business or investment with someone we barely know on social media even though it's physical because you don't know if they have something bad in their mind.

Exactly,most people left the crypto space because of their bad experience they encountered while they were actively in the space.It’s crucial that you don’t take scam tactics for granted because it hurts to watch your whole investment go down overnight.I haven’t been scammed in the crypto space,but I know what it feel like to be scammed,in the traditional banking system you know what it feels like to transfer money to the wrong account number and trying to reach out to the person but unfortunately it seems you’ve been blocked.Talkless of being scammed in the crypto space and bouncing back like nothing really happened,anyways to most people they would lose interest totally because they wouldn’t want anything to interfere their financial health again.

To be honest, it is not easy to get back to normal after losing money in crypto, but being a victim of a scam does not mean being stupid. Fraudsters often use very convincing methods. Personally, I have had many times that scammers repeatedly forced me to trade with various offers on Telegram and social media X. Later, when I realized it, they became silent. This is how different people are cheated in different ways.

However, giving up crypto completely after losing money is not the only solution. It is very important to be aware of the risks in crypto, especially from those who promise guaranteed profits or quick doubling of money. Also, everyone should be very aware of sensitive issues like asking for investment advice or wallet seed phrases from strangers.

There is curiosity among those who are new to the crypto world. They join social media or online platforms without getting enough support from experienced people to gain knowledge. From here, they get acquainted with some scammers who tempt the new person to get rich in a short time. They can provide some profit against the capital to gain credibility, but gradually the new person uses more capital and the scammer cheats him and disappears with the funds. Such people may have a negative idea about the crypto platform, but they are very limited in number because intelligent people never trust strangers. They take advice from experienced people and make decisions through market analysis. In the current context I have not seen anyone who has left the crypto platform. Some traders have bought the wrong crypto due to wrong decisions and have suffered huge losses. They are staying away from crypto. Recently, many people are investing for the long term and they prefer the DCA method.

This is not just in crypto but in whatever form of investment one wants to do and it failed initially doesn’t mean you should give up on the dream. A failure should be seen as a lesson to build up so as not to make such mistakes that leads to failure while going forward. In crypto investment there are mostly some failures which can be avoided but most investors still fail to avoid such mistakes due to greed of wanting to make huge profit overnight. Those sets of investors are easily scammed into investing in shitcoins or Ponzi schemes all in the disguise of crypto investment and that’s why research and knowledge is necessary for everyone who wants to invest in the crypto world to know the kind of asset they’re investing on because most of them are shitcoins with no value even for a long term holding.

I've had similar experiences as you, the last one was with Forex.
These scammers are really good at what they do, everything seems legal and like a real business and of course there's always some rush or some great offer or need to ''strengthen your position'' or something like that.
At one stage of this scam, they called me almost every day until I completely blocked them.
It really takes a lot of experience to recognize such scam strategies and not fall for these tricks.
The worst thing someone can do when they become a victim of a crypto scam is to conclude that crypto itself is a scam and give up.
Crypto is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to invest the time and effort to research and understand how crypto works and use crypto to change their life for the better.
Successful people are those who don't give up after the first failure but get back up again, learn from their mistakes and keep going until they achieve success.
