That is another. The minute you start analysing stories like this you find points that don't hold water. You don't know how true the OP's story is and what his real intention was in writing it.
While reading his story and experience, it didn't sound new to me, I have read similar complaints multiple times in the forum and nothing can be done about it, since it all belongs to the past. The story never ends with a recent action, how much they've invested so far into bitcoin since they found the truth. Or is Op not yet sure that bitcoin is a good investment? Bitcoin aside, any investment should be taken without questioning and observe them to learn. Many people lose money everyday on different things believing that it'll pay off in future. I think Op should start investing now and not regret next time.
