I learned the hard way that Hodling BTC is the only way. I wanted to grow my BTC so i sold my 1BTC @32K a month ago and put that money in DeFi for yield farming in those high APY. I took some losses and some gains. Now BTC jumped 47K. If i would have just HODL all this way i would have more USDT then if i buy BTC now. Lesson i Learned: Yield farming is useless. People put so much at risk entering smart contract not to mention the daily time waste. Just HODL and you would have more more money than anyone yield farming in long run.
Now realization comes your way after trying to trust other area aside from Bitcoin? now you know how important letting your money in Bitcoin instead of any rising altcoins?
Sad to hear what happened to you but that will serve as example and learning for not to leave BTC all the way, you can take part of it for other altcoins but not ALL IN .
All crypto trends will pass and money will always flow to Bitcoin and the top altcoins. I have seen that through the bull market times from ICO, IEO, IDO to DEFI.
Holding Bitcoin and the top altcoin is an arduous process and we need to be consistent with our stance to become rich.
Actually it is the whales action to Fool other investors to be part in altcoin shining because in the end? they will always goes back to btc investing.
