Every mistake has its lessons. When you make a mistake, there are three things you should do: admit it, learn from it and do not repeat it.
Ever since i had been in this space, i have only been used to bitcoin, ethereum, NEO, waves, tokens that use their platform and some other very common coins, but just this week was my first time of transacting fully on XLM platform.
I got a token that uses the platform of Stellar (XLM) and i was able to trade the token into XLM on their decentralized exchange.
My mistake came in when i was about to transfer the XLM, to be traded into BTC on another exchange.
I thought the process of transfer would be the one i had been used to, not knowing that i was supposed to include a "MEMO".
I eventually transferred it, waited for hour, but found nothing.
I was bothered.
It was in that process i got to know that memo was to be included. That was my mistake.
I admitted i had made the mistake.
The lesson i learnt is to always study every thing first (both new and old, because old things can still change), before jumping into it.
This mistake i have made up my mind to never repeat again.
I AM SHARING THIS FOR YOU TO LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND FROM YOURS.
Thanks for your audience.
Every mistakes that we have done, there must be something we can learn from it.
My advise is, when you first time transfer new coin you have, you can transfer it for small amount first.
If it succeed, then you can transfer all of your balance to that address.
Yes I agree in that , learning form our mistakes is really amazing because mistakes is really a good source of learning. If we only learn from our mistakes we can maybe have more learnings that can lead us to make a good profit on crypto, I believe that mistake is a great teacher and we can really make things easy in the near future when we are going to learn from it.
