Not your coin, not your keys. So does a popular poem on the forum goes. Been an investor requires lot of risk and determination. Although as a novice to the crypto industr loosing your coin to ponzi happens to be part of the experience but misplacing your key out of anger and frustration wasn't the best approach.

If you value a thing you guide it with wisdom. I believe you were told to write out your private key while creating your wallet but you ignored the process. All the same as an investor you shouldn't just give up.

Learn the lesson and forge ahead. More beautiful opportunities still awaits you in the crypto industry. Study invest and earn massively. I wish you luck this time
