I would not agree with that statement, many people learn from other people's mistakes, and I see no reason why it could not be the same in your case. You looked for software that had been abandoned for years, you ignored the security warning of your security software and after all, instead of taking urgent action, you went to a party. You are every hacker's dream.
Yeah that's true as long as there are careless people who ignored to secure their coins scammers will continue to exist, people should continue to read how people got scammed and what they did to lose their coins, we are our own in Cryptocurrency if we are careless to ourselves you cannot careless on your coins, it really hurt putting up money to invest then you lose it because of your carelessness
