Don't be scared to start all-over

[Antotena]

The reality is that when it happens to you, you will understand what it means to loose everything and to be faced with the harsh reality of starting from the scratch. it is a difficult spot to be at but the issue is that if you don't take the pain and wake from it, who looses? does your excuse of being affected harshly from your loss make you any better?

As difficult as starting over again is, it will always be better than lamenting over the pain of the past and never being able to stay focused on the possibility of getting things right on rack just because you were able to start all over again. even when you start over again, there is no guarantee that you might not get hit down again but you have to decide that regardless of how many times you make an investment decision that brings you down, you are going to stand only to do better ever after.

Life is unpredictable, nobody is above getting serve with bad side of life but you know what's so funny about life? You will think it's easy to advice people about life until it happen to you that is when you are going to know that indeed life is not fair with people, it's not that easy to start over like the way people says it, it takes depression to be able to bounce back. Some people that are not strong minded hardly make it back because it's not easy like we say it.

There was a person I do know that we do consider as big bro, he lost most of his property into fire disaster, he lost his studio where he do crypto content creation and partnership with many projects for promotions, he lost plenty of his valuable. It took him good 5 years before he was able to bounce back again and it those years, it was not easy, he had to squat in a friend place and build back his place and now he is doing fine. If you ask him about the story, he will first sigh! He knows it was a tough one.

Fear of starting afresh when failure strikes at times appears to be the reasons behind stagnancy, many failed and refused to face there fears because they don't know where to start from is usually the problem many faces but failed to understand that failure at timee serves as a correctional tool that works to enable one impressively stand again.
Failure i know is something that cannot be eliminated completely but can only be reduced to an extent so if it comes it will be advisable we find the possible means of standing back at all cost.

if it is possible to avoid failing in the first place by learning from other people mistake rather than making those mistakes by ourselves. There are amount that someone will lose and starting all over maybe a big problem because they can't bear such a loss. There are things that we aren't supposed to experience before learning because we may not be able to recover from such a loss. I would advise that before anyone start investing in cryptocurrency they should learn the basics to avoid repeating mistakes that most crypto investors has made while they were starting. Anyone that wants to learn from there own experience is making a big mistake because this may cause them their live savings and starting all over maybe become a challenge.

Some experience can be so draining that we will just end up losing everything and even before we get to be on the stage we are right now only us knowns what we have been through so to recover from some mistakes can be very difficult. Some people learn from others mistakes and take corrections from it because they are fully aware that if any of this mistakes come to them they won’t get to survive it at all.

That is why it always advisable to tour around a lot when we are into cryptocurrency, touring around that I mean is by checking out the risks involve some basic mistakes people make as a new investor and some little things that triggers the mistakes. At least we will learn something and apply that to our own journey.

Personally, for me, the important part of your story is not that you started, but how you started the second time. Because if you start with the same mindset as before, you risk repeating the same mistakes. The same scam method you fell victim to has happened to many people before. Strangers first gain trust with various tempting offers and rewards and then show their true colors. In such a situation, the victim is initially shown artificial profits, but in the end everything is stolen.

However, I don't understand how exactly your wallet was emptied?
Did you give any permission or did you send the money directly to the address they gave you!

If someone as the mind to start over again, it will be hard for them to fell the victim and make the same mistakes they made earlier, even if the person has the same mindset as before it will be hard for them to make a mistake twice on hence the person is not learning or he/she just want to make the same mistake and get scam again. But in reality if something happen to you once no reason the person will be in that situation again on less he don’t want to learn and make the mistake twice.

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

Yes starting all over is better than staying off entirely,though most people failed in their first try in the bitcoin ecosystem and they lost interest in bitcoin and the crypto space and don’t even have the mindset of starting all over.Sorry for your past loss,atleast it has made you more exposed on how to deal with strangers on the internet especially on telegram and other platforms that promote digital marketing.I haven’t experienced this mess before ever since I started my crypto journey but I know what it feels like to start afresh,at first you’ll would feel the pains of losing your asset to a scammer and secondly you might even hate your decision for joining the crypto space,then as time goes on the pain will heal and you’ll be encouraged to start all over,the most important thing is you started again and you’ve learned your lesson.

It always hurts and feels very difficult to try to go again after your first fail. When it comes to crypto investment that urge of giving up after your fail the first times seems to totally take over us. Now it matter of how much you really want to be in the crypto space, that alone can determine if you will go again.

But the big advantage you will have if your try again is that you are now very familiar with the crypto world, you now know how to handle and spot scammers on all social media. These experience is what a newbie will not have.

So If you decide to try again know that you are not in the same place your were Before you start. The lessons you’ve learned is now a added advantage to you. So I will say every newbie should try again after failing, because they are in a better position.

if it is possible to avoid failing in the first place by learning from other people mistake rather than making those mistakes by ourselves. There are amount that someone will lose and starting all over maybe a big problem because they can't bear such a loss. There are things that we aren't supposed to experience before learning because we may not be able to recover from such a loss. I would advise that before anyone start investing in cryptocurrency they should learn the basics to avoid repeating mistakes that most crypto investors has made while they were starting. Anyone that wants to learn from there own experience is making a big mistake because this may cause them their live savings and starting all over maybe become a challenge.

You’re actually right,most people who failed at their first attempt would probably not bother starting all over because the pain got into their bone and marrow then while some are still in their healing process so at that point they wouldn’t want to involve in what tampered on their financial health till they are healed completely from the pain.Learning from your own mistakes isn’t a big mistake,you made a mistake and you’re not the first person to that has made that same mistake so that mistake could be an eye opener to you.It’s natural to make mistakes and it’s crucial to learn from your mistakes because only a fool make same mistake numerous times.

Op your story is for all to learn and never trust any one you have not tested with anything before, in crypto investment everyone is on red eyes looking for vulnerable people to scam with differences methods. Op is good you have the ability to start over again,  such is life next time you will learn how to deal with strangers.  We're in evil world,  no good people out there,  in dealing with human you have to be careful.

Starting over is for winners,  no matter the situation never five up on yourself, be willing to accept your defeat and amend your way and continue. Without mistakes no one can overcome any challenge. Bitcoin is here to stay, and is still at it beginning,  if you missed out before,  you still have the opportunity to make it up.

Most successful investors we see today, and other individuals who have equally distinguished themselves in various fields if they should tell us what they have to go through and how many times they’ve failed it will be difficult for most of us to believe. Nothing worthwhile comes easy, failure is not the end of the journey especially In bitcoin investment because every failure is an experience to take and learn from mistakes so as to be able to make important investment decisions.

OP, very good testimony, thanks for sharing.
I think what you described is exactly the main reason why many people give up on crypto.
I have tried numerous ways to earn money on the Internet throughout my life, even before the advent of crypto, and I have been scammed many times but I have never given up.
Every failure was a new lesson learned and a new experience and I continued on, with new determination.
I also made some mistakes in crypto at the beginning, I believed too much in some projects related to altcoins, but today I look at that as an additional experience and a school that cannot be learned in any school today.
What is important is to learn from your mistakes and move on, because on the basis of previous failures the foundation for future successes and the achievement of financial freedom is built.

There are time everyone has this phase where things are not really working fine for them when come to their financial life , is that same phase some got scam and stuff . The biggest fear of someone who’s already at the top is the fear of start all over again , which can be frustrating most time but you keep showing up daily regardless is the biggest flex indeed . During such phase just keep learning and finding ways those thing you have learnt can help you .

All the people who (or at least the vast majority) are successful and wealthy today have gone through that phase, where they lost everything at one point and found themselves back at the beginning.
The way they reacted to it determined their future and whether they would be successful or unsuccessful.
People who wavered at that moment and lost faith and hope experienced failure and lost.
People who didn't give up, but rather saw failure as an additional life experience and continued on, succeeded and became successful.
This applies not only to people who are in crypto but to anyone who invests in a project or idea.
Simply put, the practical things needed for success in life are not learned in school but through personal experience.
The way we react when we are at the bottom and when we have lost everything will determine our future and whether we will ultimately achieve the desired result and financial freedom.
People who give up too easily will never achieve their dreams.

I think starting over can be a good thing, but only if the experience teaches you something. Losing money to a scam is painful, but repeating the same mistake is even worse.
For me, the biggest lesson is to slow down and do proper research before trusting any platform or investment opportunity. Promises of easy or guaranteed returns should always be a warning sign.
Starting again with more knowledge and caution is much better than giving up completely.

It cannot be said that the beginning of every successful investor was very easy. If you review the past of those who are successful today or know the things that caused their failures, you will see that they have been able to succeed today by learning from that failure. It is true failure can never stop people if you can learn from that failure. Since Bitcoin is highly volatile, investing here can definitely be a mistake for the investor. An investor can make mistakes, but if you stop investing for fear of making mistakes, then there is no possibility of success.

What is the reason for the recent rise and fall of the market? How much risk is it possible to take according to the current scenario? As an investor, how much logical decision can be taken in this situation and if something goes wrong, how much is the possibility of recovering from it. Those who observe these issues well and take decisions will be able to do well from investment. We do not call ourselves successful only if we make  profit. An investor who relies on rationality in making any decision can learn from mistakes and make better knowledge-based decisions accordingly.

You're right, sometimes is not about starting all over again the question is will they be able to avoid that mistake they made? Because some folks don't learn from thier first mistake not even the second nor third maybe they might learn from the fift mistake, by then they must have loss more money. I'm not saying that it's not good to start all over again but first we need to ensure that we learned from our previous mistake should Incase it happen again we will know how to find our way out, although there's nothing we can do in this life without having challenges but there are ones we need to get used to.

There is nothing wrong with starting over; the best thing that can happen when you want to start over again is that you are coming back stronger. At this point, starting over is not as easy as we think because after building, you will have to build again, which is simply not easy at all. Failure is difficult to accept, but let us know whether it will happen or not, because we have all faced challenges like that. And things like this can not be avoided.

Simply put, when the time comes, we should figure out how to stand on our own two feet. Successful people will tell you about the difficulties they have encountered and how they overcame them, and that is the best way to grow. Additionally, if you don't want to grow, you won't perform well, so it is better for us to just try to learn from successful people because that is the only way we can also grow. So challenges should not be an obstacle

That's the thing,  to start all over may not be a problem but whether the person will be able to learn from their previous mistakes and reflect on it. There is always room for mistake but learning from it in other not to repeat same mistake that's what matters most. Because it won't make sense to start all over again and still encounter the same problem that makes us to be starting all over. Just imagine repeating a mistake that cause us a fortune, the will or zeal to start again won't be there.

Yep, the ability to figure out those past mistakes they made is what matters because I have seen many newbies being scammed with one particular strategy, weeks later they still approach them with that same strategy and they still fall for it. It's just like what happened last week, a friend of mine chatted me up and was explaining how she ran into the hands of scammers, Funny enough that they have used that same strategy on her earlier, but due to lack of knowledge if not she would have find out that, that was the first strategy they used. So before a person should think of starting all over they need to be sure that they can't repeat that same mistake they made.

[Sonia_123]

Starting all over is a great and bold step adopted by any investor that has fallen due to one reason or the other, except you don't value bitcoin, alot of great people you see in the world today fell severally and the stand up at every fall they make .

Starting all over makes you more stronger than before because you must have learnt a lot of lessons which you must have made through mistakes that you made along the line, it gives you courage, experiences, knowledge and knowing the right steps to take at the right time.

It is better to start all over than be in regrets of just watching how time will fly away because of pride no matter how little it will turn out to be, starting to invest in bitcoin all over again is a blood step to recover all your losses so that your financial future will be secured.

[boyptc]

It must be tough for those who fell for the same tactics by these scammers that have been looking for newbies as their targets.

Staying off is the main solution that a victim can think of. But being resilient is what those trying to stay strong and believes that they've got a future staying invested with what they hold.

While that is not easy for the most who have been in that situation, kudos to OP and to everyone who did the same thing.

Learning from mistakes depends on the level of mistakes you made, the amount of your losses, and how experienced you are. A new investor can make countless mistakes because from these mistakes he will gradually learn and develop himself more maturely. For some, making mistakes is instructive, but for others it is just the same as continuing to repeat the same mistakes.

If an investor does not understand his limits he will lose that is he will have to struggle to control his own emotions and this is the main lesson of investment. Valuing time is important, only then will your mistakes be less likely to be repeated. You may not have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin at the price you can buy today, so stay in Bitcoin investment for the long term to avoid being at the level of some people who still regret their mistakes in the past.

Those scammers are getting smarter by the day and someone who hasn't had such experiences before or have no knowledge about the techniques which those scammers are using to defraud their victims could have fell easily for it. This days I don't easily trust any investment schemes I met online apart from a few of them that I am sure of that are legit because most of them are not original.

One little mistake could cost a person everything he has labour for all his life. Op was very smart not to have give up,he was so brave to have started all over again from the scratch which many in his situation may not. However, no one is above making mistakes, Op may have fall victim but giving up wouldn't have been the best decision too.

[Yablee0]

I once lost everything to greed, anxiety and uncertainty. My crypto journey began sometime around 2020, back then I was very optimistic and ready to jump into any investment opportunity that comes my way. In 2021 I got my first surprise.

What happened was i entertained a complete stranger on my telegram channel. The fellow first got me to trust her and in the process introduced me to a scheme. The tone of assurance was so strong that I fell for it.

Funny enough the tried to get my full trust by giving me rewards every day for staking my coin on their mining platform. And after two weeks I woke up to see my wallet has been cleared. Both the rewards and my personal coin all gone

It drained me and kept me low for quite a long period. I didn't know where to start from and I was even confused on how to explain this to someone else. It took me a long time to put myself back together.

Then in 2024 I tried building back. It wasn't easy from the start but I kept up with consistency. Although I don't have as much as I had back in 2020 but I am glad I am able to stay committed no matter how small the growth seems.

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

Your story is so inspiring and like a straight warning never to trust everything we see on the internet space  call investment or whatever, or even most of the friends we make online. However, gaining trust has always been there major tool they normally used in carrying out their dirty job. once they have successful gain it the next is to strike. But even in the midst of fear and confusion on how to start all over again, you still stood firmly and out of courage and determination you were are able to gather the piece of you live and started all over again. Today you are celebrating once again in victory. Congratulation brother, indeed you have proven that there is no point getting scared of starting all over again. Hence the initial fear is being overcome, success is sure.
