I have learn my lessons!
Based on the "age" of your account, you are rather new. And this means you'll have plenty of more "lessons to learn". Hopefully they will not be painful and you'll also not lose money.
But knowledge comes with learning from your and others' experiences, good and bad.
Earning in cryptocurrency start with this forum. The first thought that come to my mind was to make some money out of nowhere like joining bounty campaign. Yet, I have tried and it does not compensate well for there are scam ICO projects and relatively will not give bounty rewards. Thus, the painful part started when I was not able to receive rewards. Yet, I never thought that I could like more on cryptocurrency and without the forum I could not learn how to do it.
For being a member of this forum, I have sought some things or ways on how to earn on cryptocurrency. I tried investing small scale and apparently it was a failure. However, I did not discourage instead it was a motivation to find ways and establish a strategy. I know there is no easy way to earn but as long as you have a good strategy, patience, timing and other factors will relatively help one to earn in the investment.
There are good campaigns and bad campaigns. With time you'll learn how to find mostly good ones.
Investments.. unless the projects are very bad, there's a chance they are not bad (unless you already sold with loss) and at some point money will flow back into crypto, helping those investments turn good.
Patience and long term strategy are good directions. You do have a chance for good
