I was so much curious about bitcoin some years back and end up scammed up my hard earned money which make me fearful and negative towards cryptocurrencies.
I think everyone here have been scammed one way or another, specially if you are really a noob and knows nothing. I was scammed by this bitcoin doubler way back 2017. But since then, I've gained enough experience and promise myself not to be con by this criminals. So sometimes you really need to go to that bad experience to gain valuable lessons.
But slowly i have learned a lot of things, experienced more and i'm changed and now things have changed. Now i am a hodler and very positive for the future and will always be consistent in it.BTC
Good this is really a journey, sort of marathon and not a sprint, so best of luck to you.
