Like a prodigal child I have returned to the forum after me thinking that I will be able to keep myself motivated to keep investing in bitcoins even without encouragement from communities like this one. I lied! The instability in the value of bitcoin can really affect a young investor mentally who has no encouragement from people in community like this forum, and sometime people who are in this forum overlook it.
Now I know that it is not important for me to come back and announce my return but I just had to so that we understand that the little encouragement we give ourselves in this forum each time the value of Bitcoin fluctuates is really going a long way to help some of us remain as investors in Bitcoin. I have tried investing alone without any form of encouragement from people but I found it to be difficult hence my reason for being back.
If you stayed in this forum and eventually left because you were not being encouraged enough, then I don't think you learnt anything from this forum. No one is going to send you a private message encouraging you never to give up, except maybe scammers who would want to get close just to steal from you.
This forum hasn't failed to remind everyone that investment in Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme. There have been countless threads in this forum discussing Bitcoin's volatility and how to navigate through it. Anyone who has been committed to this forum will create an investment plan or strategy for himself from the topics being discussed here.
I believe you left because you invested what you could not afford to lose, and because of that, you got so emotionally attached to your investment. The forum has done you no wrong; learn from your mistakes this time and enjoy your Bitcoin journey.
