what's your story?
Your story is different from mine , Yet here are some kind of similarity. I did not just stumble on bitcoin on the internet rather I was informed about bitcoin by my friend, but instead of him telling me to invest in Bitcoin and continue using bitcoin. He rather told me that I should instead invest in altcoins. That bitcoin is too expensive. That I could not afford it at this time.
It was because of his advice that I missed investing in Bitcoin when I knew about it. However, the rest of the story is a regret, but I am into it now.
As a newbie, everyone will have bad experiences, but we should not regret it. I knew bitcoin quite early through a friend, but he also did not teach me to invest and hold bitcoin, what he taught me was to buy bitcoin to participate in Ponzi projects. I also didn't learn what bitcoin is and just thought of it as a vehicle to invest in those projects.
It wasn't until I lost everything I invested in those projects that I got bored and became idle. I was curious about the name bitcoin and just started to learn and invest in it. I believe most of those still on the market to this day have had many of the same initial experiences as you and me, but I have never regretted it because our lives are all about experiences.
