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.
Committing mistakes is s human psychology and I think there is nothing wrong in this as people learn from their mistakes only but learning from those mistakes and not committing them in future is a big thing as we all know that bitcoin is a very volatile crypto currency therefore its valuation keeps on flactuation and when the valuation is very low there are many cunning people who will try to make you convince that your coin is about to crash you should sell all your coin to them so never influence by them as they are very greedy people who wants to make money from your investment so always learn from your mistakes and if you have done this ever so never repeat it in future.
