With cryptocurrency, you have to be careful with any fraud and theft. and usually many people who are caught in the losses in the world of crypto is:
1. Not Backup Key
2. Electricity Billing Mining More
3. Lunes In Phishing Sites
4. Buy Coin With Rumors
5. Create a weak password
6. Steal With Stealth ICO

With cryptocurrency, no bank or other institution or regulation will protect you in the event of a loss.


This is the reason behined why their are some investor's losing big amount of money. Because some of them picked scam ICO project, hacked private keys due to their carelessness, they choose fishing sites, an so on that can lead their money lost. That is why we have to be vigilant in every action and decisions that we made, especially we are engaged in our investment in crypto currency. 
In my opinion, the reason behind losing money in crypto currencies is lack of knowledge or you can say that people do not understand the nature and behavior of coins. They want to make money from it in blink of an eye which is to be honest, not possible. No doubt that cryptocoins provide us with a way of making easy money but that does not mean it includes no work and patience.

I agree with these. For me one of the poor habits that we keep on doing while having bitcoins is that we usually unnecessary spend our money to the things that we dont really need and excessove spending may be a huge loss to us specially that there is no significant date when we can be able to get our next profits, savings will definitely save you for being broke better to keep working and spend lesser.

As long as I am in the world crypto there are two mistakes that I did, first I do a investment for a new coin that the price continues to bearish and whether the coin still has the opportunity to rises or not is uncertain, the second I entered phishing site that was causing my private key in steal. Through all the incident made me more careful and I get an important lesson.

Investing with minimal knowledge on cryptocurrency to begin with.
People end up investing on coins that won't even get listed and some
turn out to be scams. I think the next one is the negligence to diversify
investments during times prices are low and affordable.

The mistake many people make when investing in this market is that they do not have much knowledge when investing. Not having much knowledge but investing in large numbers, the failure rate is very high.

Yes, we definitely need to be very careful when moving in the crypto money market. Things can go a lot worse.
It will not get worst if you are armed when you go to war. I think most of us create mistake at the first and we will keep the lesson to avoid creating another mistake. We get poor because we don't have enough knowledge in crypto world and we still take that risk.

In my case, "Buy Coin With Rumors" may well suit. Months ago, I invested more than 20k that ended up with only 100 bucks. That was the worst investment in my side. Well, I take it as a lesson for better research before putting money.

As for me, the worst mistake happens when you initially choose the wrong altcoin. It means that you will lose in the future. The other great mistake is to sell your cryptocurrency when it is falling.

Good List but you missed the main one, it is GREED! That is one factor which makes us poor while investing in cryptos. I know a lot of people who had bought bitcoin during late 2017 and proudly announced that move in facebook with a lot of hashtags. All of them are in loss today. SOme of them even used their credit card to purchase bitcoin hoping to make astronomical profit to cover the credit card interest fees and enjoy with the rest of the money.

GREED is one factor that drives us towards unrealistic profit making businesses. If greed is the factor that drives your instinct, you are pretty much doomed before you even start.

right. But where is the gray line between looking for earnings and greed?

If someone is given a chance to be a millionaire wouldn't someone grab it? I would. I think being greedy whilr stepping on someone's rights is wrong, but if you work you butt off to earn wealth or power could also be categorized as greediness.

Greed while minding other's right, and you should be fine I think. Smiley

I got wiped out on a sh*tcoin because I believed in it and put all my eggs in one basket.  Never do this.  No matter how good it seems.  You need to leave yourself an out.  This was a very painful mistake.

Hi, all those reasons are quite common for sure.

I've always tried to do things right. I discovered the cryptos and the blockchain last year. I participated in two or three ICO, no more, all the projects that spoke to me, none was a scam. I was on Archlinux, a clean PC, a clean browser. I had zip with password all my keys and passphrase.
My basic investment was a few hundred € transformed into a few K€ over a few months. Everything was going well. A lot of my ERC-20s were on MEW.
My error: An error of attention of a few seconds, a pretty site of phising of MEW, then the disappearance of all my token.
If I can avoid this for others, I would do what I can, like not hesitate to tell this story.
Be careful
When it comes to trading, expand your time scales, and you'll have a quieter mind to start with, and gradually you'll go down the time scales to do intraday trading.

I think that for that to make us poor, we had to play big from the start, which is not given to everyone basic lol
As mentioned above, greed but also stupidity, sorry, but it's true

Mistakes can make you 100% poor. It is essential that you do not have to make those mistakes, and that money is very risky. Those who do not have knowlodge, these are the people who have lost many of these fraudulent things.

Those reasons are quite common but they are easily avoidable if you are just not lazy and you are concerned about your money that you have earned, so my advice is the similar you need to always be concerned.

yes right, you have to pay attention to all of the above.
I also want to add one, don't be too ambitious to get huge profits. get just the right profit. do not be too brave to speculate and risk if you do not want to regret.

Well, things are always bound to get a lot worse when the person refuses to get equipped with the necessary knowledge needed to stay on top of their game. In any investment, even outside crypto, being vast in that area will always help you never to make some sort of silly mistakes in the long run and with that it would be easy to make good call and decisions as the case may be and without it, it gets easy losing even much more unless you just get lucky.

Committing a mistake is natural for anyone but only wise people are not repeating the same mistake whereas all other people are doing same mistakes again and again and finding themselves poorer after certain period of times.

Actually i do not consider this as a mistakes because these are just weakness and not having preventive measures that these things could really happen. These are considered as cautions to everybody who do involve on cryptocurrency. Anyway we have common sense we know what we should do.
There are number of investors who are busy in investing their money into different crypto currencies but not all of them are getting this opportunity to make some good earning and the reason behind is the lack of knowledge and self-motivation to being some positive change in their lives. It gets very much difficult for them most of the time to control their nerves and that they end up making wrong decision.

That's why when you are going to invite some new folks to try crypto then you should heed then in advance about the risk, mistakes like this one, warnings, not going to rich overnight, basic technical and security stuff to crypto wallets and more most especially the technical stuff, they should be aware of the wallet stealers, cold storages backup, passwords and stuff.

I think most people commits mistake when they joined any investment with zero knowledge of what they are joining. People should be aware that cryptocurrency is not that simple where you can just earn profit immediately but to become more effective with your investment, people should be more familiar with cryptocurrency first. People should be have the knowledge so that they can learn how to analyze the market trend to become successful with their investment. When joining ICO's, check everything what is necessary about the project.
I agree. The conclusion is, those who want big profits without considering I agree. The conclusion is, those who want big profits without considering the risks to crypto investment. in the end, they will lose and regret their deeds the risks to crypto investment. in the end, they will lose and regret their deeds
There are normal missteps which influences you misfortune to benefit simply like contributing without information on it.There are heaps of ICO ventures rising these days so basic sort of speculators botch is they hop effectively into those undertaking without assurance.That is why rather they will win they have misfortune in their investments. Carelessness will likewise prompts inconvenience like your records will be hacked or you may get misled effortlessly.
