When you first went head first into the unknown,what were your thoughts? What were you afraid the most?

I think I don't have any fears when the first time I started dealing with cryptocurrencies because I only think that maybe this is my way to earn money and if I can earn by free then I don't have to afraid for anything. besides that, as long as I don't use my own money, then I can avoid from being scam and I could still try to earn more money. but I think my fears is about if I buy a coins in a high price and I cannot sell it once the price is jump higher and I got trapped in that price.
