I stopped my crypto journey way back last year because of so many losses and got busy with my school works, it was last year in February when I lost a huge amount of my money investing in altcoin and got rugged, I was depressed that time and sad because I lost a huge amount of money which makes me stop my crypto journey and just focus on my study.
Two weeks ago I saw my friend on Facebook posting such luxury and cars he already has and I know that person is into cryptocurrency so I know that he got all those things because of cryptocurrency that inspires me now to continue my crypto journey and I will start it with this forum as I know I can have a lot of lessons and advice here.
I just realized how risky cryptocurrency is, especially for those people who have not yet have good knowledge about it, I've learned from my mistakes last year and j am now here exploring again and will be careful this time.
It always interest me seeing people learn from their past mistakes, As you've learnt so far, the crypto industry is very volatile and you should invest with caution, if you had invested with the amount you could have afford to lose, I don't think you would have felt the negative impact that much, to the extent that you almost quitted your crypto journey.
However, I would advise in my little experience here that you should have plans, don't be greedy and quick to recover loses let the past be in the past and see this as a new beginning of your crypto journey , hence if come back with the mindset of recovering the past loses , I bet you might still get it wrong the second time if you don't take care.
