^ Definitely a sad story, I don't want to hear about losing in trading/investing. I understand that sometimes we commit mistakes and surely no one will do it intentionally especially when it comes to our hard-earned assets since, the mistake is done at least you have learned your lesson and sharing it to others makes you a better person for you don't want anyone to commit the same mistake as you did.
Sometimes we tend to be eager in earning higher profit like what you did investing to HYIP or buying altcoin and by doing it we tend to forget that home base (bitcoin) can also give lots of opportunities and stability which you have missed so better not to entrust what you have to something which has not proven anything in the crypto world. Nevertheless, I normally do such thing as you do to earn a little profit by getting paid through bitcoin on the products and services I provide to someone though it is little I am pretty sure that it a profit that would be added to my assets.
