this investment was done at the behest of a youtuber which proved to be a big mistake in my life.Now I have thought that do not invest at the behest of others.

Yep, that was the big mistake. If a user wants to buy a token or an altcoin he should do it himself, create an account in the exchange and make the trade.
Nowadays is easy for the scammers to get a group of investors and walk away with the money... so, the best option is to learn how to invest our money and how to del with exchanges.
People wont learn if they wont experience loss.Its not necessary for it to be experienced but in most cases people do really fall into these pits specially if you do lack of knowledge.
Mistakes are there but on next time be sure that you do know on what you are doing.Experience is the best teacher and keep learning from it because you dont know all the things
here on this world.I have big mistakes too back in the past when i do start up here on crypto but i do still keep pushing forward and learning up new things.
I would totally agree with you here and keeping your mind in an positive mind set allows you to keep moving that needle forward. I mean what is there thousands upon thousands of coins these days? I think trying to weed out the any good ones is hard as it is. For example, you have BTC which started it the entire crypto arms race to be the next best coin. As my grandparents would say "hard live lessons are the best teachers" and that comes with learning how to navigate the lanes in your life. I see BTC as a way to not have BIG Brother keeping an eye on all your funds but with comes all the bad elements too. Welp time to sign off and best wishes to all.
