My fear have been a motivation to learn, even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.
To me I think that this is actually a good fear, a fear that will drive you to knowledge first before venturing into an art is very much important, because most people that have fell as prey to scammers or that decided to venture into trading and lost their fund was as a result of not having knowledge of how to navigate their way safely in the crypto industry, so going for knowledge is paramount if you must succeed in this industry, not just in crypto, anything you want to venture into, it's very important that you seek knowledge first, so that you won't be served breakfast, and eaten up by fraudster.
