I see more of success stories of bitcoin, like how people invest bitcoin for their parents, uncles, and themselves to make fine profit. These stories are very interesting one and good to listen of what bitcoin has done for people but it makes me wonder if people don't have stories of failure about bitcoin. In the real life I see people who talk about their failed investment because of not having the right knowledge. But here everyone talks about success stories and it makes me wonder if people are shy to talk about their failures, it can also help other people to learn. Learning is not just about from successful investment.
People have failures in their investments as much as they have success stories, only that they feel more comfortable sharing success stories, while it takes guts to share failed stories. Ofcourse I've heard a lot of failed testimonies on this platform, about how they lost their seed phrase due to negligence and how they got scammed, but we can't deny that success stories are far more. I think sharing experiences are very important in the forum, either success or failure, so that others can learn from them, a little experience shared can go a long way to guide other's decisions.
But actually there's nothing wrong regarding if they could share their failed investment stories since for me this is more interesting to discuss since we could see a more realistic topic which we can learn something valuable for us to consider especially on taking such decisions that we don't not actually sure. Since if we only here some success stories then there would be a huge chance that we will only get blinded with wrong expectations and we don't know if we are bound to commit mistake since we always think that everything is easy for us since we see those people succeed.
That's the reason if someone telling something that they are so good and tell about that they got almost zero mistake made then earn quiet positive returns on all decision they do then I will just think about that person is telling a lie since there's no people earn huge success without experiencing the worse since they won't learn anything if these people will not experience any bad experience when they are trying their best to earn.
Theirs lot of things need to watch for especially those risk that we should avoid just like what you mentioned and it will be great if they share both success and failure stories since this is more worth to read than any bloated success stories out there.
