From my own experience, I scammed multiple times before in some HYIP platforms, it was when I was starting to introduced in Bitcoin, I lost a lot of Bitcoin because I use them to convert into some random cryptocurrencies too.
You’re not alone on that “journey,” lol. I’ve been in the same situation before, I trusted a lot of altcoins and ended up selling some of my Bitcoin. Over the years, I’ve actually earned more than 100 BTC, but I couldn’t hold on to all of it because I kept experimenting with altcoins and withdrawing Bitcoin here and there. Now, I’m back to accumulating Bitcoin for the future, though I’m still a bit more aggressive with altcoins. They’ve got huge growth potential, but yeah, the risk is definitely there.
