My worst mistake was giving my money to some scheme that I hadn't even heard of.

yeah, its better not to invest anywhere that is offering big returns because the risks of turning it to a scam are really high then and theres no need to take that much risk

i think that my worst mistake was when i decided to send my money to other person as a loan without any of his details, of course he didnt return anything to me, though that was just 13 dollars

I try not to, but a lot of other people go around glorifying these same exact schemes trying to make me think they're promising. Then again, they didn't try. They full blown succeeded.

Don't worry. A lot of these schemes actually don't last very long, and they definitely get reported. Most of the time, it's things like this that keep people away from Bitcoin.

I transfer it to wrong address and that was the worst mistake made by me at the initial stage when I was new to bitcoin, but I have never repeated that mistake again.

What scheme was it?

honest it was so long ago, instantaneous and just all around irrelevant to me that I don't even remember. I really was close to forgetting about it, but this thread made it just come back to life.

Yeah. Always make sure to really thoroughly look into investments before making them. Bitcoin is covered in scams.

My worse was to invest a small amount in the HYIP scam. It was only 0.01 but sufficient enough to teach me a lesson.

Gladly, it wasn't a hefty price amount.

My worst mistake in bitcoin is investing on a HYIP sites and also on networking online donations..my money was lost they scam and scam especially those doublers in just 2 days .thats my worst mistake.

At least, you learned your lessons. I have gone through the same scene, and it was fascinating that scammer managed to scam our Bitcoin with Ponzi scheme. I never thought of that before, and I was scammed once I realize that the 'business' that I 'invested' in was an outright lie.

I saw some ads on internet which were busy in promising to double the coins in few hours, so I invested in it and I lost everything and then I came to know there is nothing like doubling coins.

You can make back all those coins through holding and selling when the time is right

yeah but it is a really hard thing to do to be honest if you dont have a lot of money and its also hard to predict whether the price will grow or not so i doubt that will work

the worst mistake i did with my coins was that i decided to invest it in a hyip that after a few weeks turned to scam, i have lost all my money that i have put into it

How much did you invest? Sad

I think the biggest mistake I currently did was selling much too earlier. It's okay though, as I can easily reload my wallets with the equivalent of one Bitcoin and wait to see if the price will increase.

I was knew about gambling and investing when I known bitcoin. I've got attracted by investment site name golden cow so their site was unique so I decided to invest 0.05
At the first 4 days, they paid but something wrong when it reached 5 days. When I contact the support, he said that he did not involve into golden cow project anymore. I must bear the risk of scamming !

My worst mistake was that I didn't take Bitcoin very seriously at the beginning.

Probably even worse is that I had invested 2 BTC in an altcoin where I ended up with barely 0.3BTC as I bought at the ultimate peak.

I was too greedy. This is however nearly 2 years ago. After that I promised myself to never again invest in altcoins.

The worst mistake I made was that I bought some bitcoins at a very low price that is good. But when the price did go up a bit I sold them all. After I sold them the price was going up more so I could have made more money.

This is not actually a mistake. The mistake will be bigger if you wait until the price reached it peak and dropped back to even lower than what you bought at. I actually encourage people to play safe by not joining hype.

Quote from: Skaven on April 05, 2016, 05:18:32 AM

A couple of years ago I was new and just introduced into Bitcoin. I had some money that I saved and wanted to invest that money into something. I bought some Bitcoins but the price was pretty high but I did not know this.

I believe that it is during the Bitcoin 2013/2014 bubble. You are actually not alone. I believe there is a few thousands people who did what you did. At that point in time, because Bitcoin price keep increasing, people predict that Bitcoin will reach 10 000 USD soon. As such, human typical response is to buy.
