I am not going to post in meta because I do not want trouble. Hopefully someone with a much higher position will look into this matter.

What's the worst mistake you did with your Bitcoin? It can vary from starting to use Bitcoin to buying dumped Altcoin to gambling.

The worst mistake I made with Bitcoin is... Buying cloud mining hashrate. I bought 0.02 GH/s CEX.IO hash rate voucher at SEOClerk for $2 USD - or maybe $1 USD. I thought with 0.02 GH/s, I would be making a profit in half a year.. And I was wrong.

Well, I bought using the free five dollars coupon. So that does not count as making a mistake with Bitcoin. However, the slow profit lead me to buying hashing power from CEX.IO and later on.. ZeusHash using the Bitcoin I earned from signature campaign.. Again, I thought I would be making profit in a few months. Till today, I'm sure I have not make any profit from both the company yet. CEX.IO stopped their cloud mining operation and.. ZeusHash.. What do you think.?

My worst mistake is I didn't believe what my friend say about bitcoin, although he has shown me the profit he got at that time. I really regret about it and when finally I believed him, the price bitcoin was dropping.

Perhaps a lot of us made a mistake of investing to an ICO that later turned out to be scam. I don't have much bitcoin and that I have to do article posting, translation jobs and participate yobit signature campaign to earn some bitcoin only to find out i was scammed.

Worse mistake is investing without investigating whether legit or not.

Worst mistake I ever made? Not putting 2factor authorisation on my main account, which resulted in all my funds stolen

Errors can be performed continuously without monitor and control their income and expenses. The fact that the last recession the cost of bitcoin, very much emptied my purse.

My first and biggest mistake with bitcoin was not paying attention to it a couple of years ago when i first heard about it and the price was lower than $100 per btc.

And I did not take at all seriously bitcoin the first time I heard about cryptocurrency. If at that time put a small amount, now would be a fabulously rich.

It is sad to know.Always double check when you send bitcoin and if possible always break the transaction in two or three parts.

Ouch - well that's one of my biggest fears everytime I'm doing a transaction.

Be careful next time!

the worst mistake i did with bitcoin was I spend my whole day claiming in 10 mins per claim faucet and when i finally reach the treshold i read in the fb group that it was not paying anymore

For bitcoin need care. Working with cryptocurrency any one source of information can not be sent in any case, be sure to check all that you see and hear, otherwise you will lose everything.

I invested 2 times in the same site and i didnt know that it was already a scam

Sound like you fall into the same scam twice. I wonder what makes you fall into it again. More details?

I put $80 into GawMiners before it went full stupid with the Paycoin thing. I sold my miners and got $40 back. Thanks Mr Garza for taking my $80 and magically halving it.

Funny. It is good that you manage to get back half of it. I believe there is people who lost a lot more than you. I have never heard of GawMiners, to be honest.

Not mining in 2009 when you could get literally thousands easily. At least I didn't know about it then or else I'd really be depressed.

Same here. If I know about Bitcoin in 2009 and did not mine, I will be really sad and hate.

i did believe to wrong person, it was when i buy something from him, i got scammed around 0.6 btc by him. he suddenly blocked all my social media

What did you bought? Do your have the transaction address? Maybe some expert 'Bitcoin police' here may be able to look into the Blockchain and find the scammer. Hopefully he does not mix the Bitcoin.

my worst mistake with bitcoins is that i gambled a lot of them, and more i played more i lost more till i lost around 2 bitcoins, so i think that this was a huge mistake with bitcoins

Wow man,im glad you at least stopped it right now...
Losing enormous amount in gambling really touches you,because you know you can never get it back from the same site.
Im sorry for you're loss,but be positive,and think that you could loose even more.

Therefore, the best way to avoid losses or fraud on the part of the site, it does not take part in a project in favor of another. Ie to find a suitable and conscientious casino. Or even find a different location for the investment, or as a hobby interests.
