Mine was just a random search on the internet some years ago and it took me some time to learn all the basics and other stuff before finally starting my investment let me tell you, it was not successful at first because I invested in some scam cloud mining site which closed after a few weeks of payout. Back then scammers are using cloud mining as bait, right now they using what they see as a trend to hook up people's money and lure them with sweet words. That's why when you first try to invest, make to spend some money that are not really important and make it minimal to avoid big losses.
Yeah this is exactly why I was so skeptical about it in the first place. It took me a lot of research with the help of my friend talking me into it, to finally agree to invest my money on Bitcoin. Scammers has made it difficult for so many individuals to invest on crypto currency. They have used different strategies to take money from people using Bitcoin. So the best any body can do is go online learn more about how Bitcoin works so you won?t fall for any of their scam.
