I was introduced into the cryptocurrency space with HYIPS, I thought the industry was a get rich quick scheme and devoted my time and resources in HYIPs. I lost everything I earned along the line and was depressed. I've come to realise that greed is the most prevalent reason for people getting scammed in this space. Most people believe that the industry would make the rich quickly, but have been disappointed, just like me.
And people like that would blame it on btc instead of recognizing their mistakes and learn from it, we all have our different experiences in crypto, how we got into it can be different but most of us have grown to understand it and learn from our past mistakes,
I have lost money too on hyips although not everything I owned but some good amount that would have yielded good results if I had invested through the right way and right project.
