I invested few bitcoins into a ponzi site where they assured that they would double my bitcoins in certain hours and pay me with profits, I invested and lost everything.

Well. I hope that you learnt your lesson and will not participate in any kind of scammy looking game anymore. Most ponzi schemes is very bad in 2016.

I've loaned to a few people that never repaid their loans. That was pretty stupid.

Apart from that, I would have to say that I have gambled away some important funds that I have needed badly. However, I have learned my lesson now, and I definitely won't do it again.

You should have checked their profile and trusts (if at Bitcointalk) before deciding to lend them Bitcoin.

Good that you have learnt your lesson and will not gamble away any of your important Bitcoin again. And ... How about not gambling at all?

oh forgot my 2nd worst mistake.. when i forgot the passphrase of my wallet and it wallet's balance is .15btc

That is really a big mistake. 0.15 BTC is a lot today. Make sure you remember your passphrase next time.

The mistake i made was that, when the price was at a fluctuation of $370 to $380 there were some amount of bitcoins with me, I thought that the price will remain there for long time so i don't have to wait any more, so i used my bitcoin for some purpose and after a week the price reached to $440, .
I wish that I hold that for a week more.

I did this type of mistake too. I bought a lot of domains using Bitcoin at Namecheap when the price for a Bitcoin was 200 USD. Today, the price of Bitcoin is 400 USD. I could have bought 2x the amount of domains if I waited six months. Sad.

Mt.Gox.

'nuff said.


Same here as well as Cryptsy, not a great deal but still enough to leave a bitter taste.

Probably getting involved with alt-coins and buying some litecoins and selling them for a less price, Alt-coins is a risky investment and very similar to gambling in a way.

My biggest mistake was thinking I was a alt coin genius.   There is just a lot of unpredictable behavior in some alt coins.

I made good money on some, others I took a loss.  Needless to say I mainly stick with BTC these day's.  Just much more safe overall.

Yes I lost money on Yobit scams, specifically on Bitspenders TAMCOIN scam, that he stole all the funds for and the price crashed.

I also lost money on Bitspenders HIFUN scam.

It was a big mistake and I learned from it.

Ouch I guess that is a lot. I just experience mistakes on losing from gambling and others but not through this kind. I already learned from personal experiences through marketing scams all over our country.

Worst mistake I did was I sent my bitcoins to a wrong wallet address when I transacted for the first time, The amount was not huge though, so now I check twice before sending my bitcoins.

my worst mistake was when i lost all my miney on gambling site it was really an aweful feeling but that was a lesson for me that what i should do to make me better
Yes, Gambling is too risky and you can loose all the money if you dont have luck. So, a lesson is well learnt, Stay Away from gambling to save your bitcoins. Unfortunately most of the bitcoiners here do this mistake even in more worster way.

heard about it but i didn't get in the market, a sad story like 90% of the person here i think
Worst mistake I too feel that I had made with bitcoins was to not buy any amount when the price was low some years ago, I think though that was not a mistake as I was unaware about the price rise.

I once deposited some good amount of bitcoins to a gambling site which later scammed badly, this is the worst mistake which I often regret. I think we should never deposit too big anywhere.

True or if you want to gamble just deposit the amount that you want to use. If it is investing in a gamble site that would be a bad idea. But there are some gambling site which are trusted now. And have remained in the industry since start.

that's worst I think...lesson learned.. you gotta choose now on which to trust, try to read about them first and their reputation, researching and reading about on where you will deposit your money would somehow save you from being scammed again..
