Topic: You only got what you deserve (Read 913 times)

I don't think that anybody will deliberately plan to fail in their crypto investment, people plan their investment based on the level of knowledge that they have, so in that sense I wouldn't really say that they deserve the failure of investing in shitcoins, it's just the lack of adequate knowledge. So the main reason why people with good intentions to invest and make profit fail is because of ignorance, lack of proper research to equip themselves with the right knowledge about reputable crypto coins that will guarantee them ROI , like Bitcoin and top altcoins like Ethereum. Unless you want to say that investors deserve what they get based on the level of their knowledge, then I can agree with the OP to an extent.

All of us has different pathways, different way on how we handle our money. If we are a trader or a holder then there are two possible outcome which is we got a profit or we loss our coins. So its difficult to say that we are becoming a successful in a short period of time. And if we are too greedy then there's a chance that we loss our money but id we have a self control and discipline then we can make things happen success is on the top. If we put an extra effort to our self then we become a successful someday not now but in the future like in bitcoins if we hold it for long time then for sure profit is waving.

You are responsible for everything that’s happening to you. If you succeed, that’s because you go on extra miles and give your best shot in crypto whether its trading or hodling alone. But if you lose, I believe you still give your best shot but that’s still not good enough, which means try harder and work harder and see gradual progress later on. You are the only one responsible for all your losses and gains, and what you have certainly become now is what you actually deserved.

If you are in a community like this then I find it difficult to understand to the reason why you would actually do something stupid with your investment because their are so much knowledge here about how to actually handle your way through an investment so making a mistake is uncalled for except only you are the ignorant type then you would make a silly mistake by investing in some shit coin that lose value rather than going slowly with DCA if the money is not available at a stretch.

Yes you only got what you deserve in crypto, because most times people don't stay patient and observe how there coins moves once there is a down stream they become scared.so you need to be informed because some coins are not what investing on.

The volatile world of cryptocurrency often reflects the decisions and actions taken by those individuals. Uninformed trading and impulsive investing of assets in cryptocurrencies can put your money at risk. Investing with patience and discipline by gaining knowledge and changing your perspective on risk will yield long-term results that will keep you away from undesired outcomes. Success in the crypto space is through own decision making and strategic planning.

because the market situation, assets, and reality in our lives sometimes do not match what we hold and plan. That's what makes investors or traders end up changing their initial plans because of several conditions that may not be understood or even conditions that urge us to do things that are not planned.
People who have held assets for a long time may not have experienced problems that prompted them to take actions that were not according to plan. But regardless of whether you gain or lose in a position like that, traders or investors will have valuable experience for planning their investments in the future.

for beginners in crypto, keeping it simple and diversified can be a good strategy. I agree with you, because cryptocurrency, like every other form of investment, is largely about informed decision-making, experience and patience. 3 years ago, I started trading in small amounts but still regularly minimized risks associated with market volatility. Because we know the crypto market can plummet suddenly. If you have taken time to thoroughly research, practice patience and held on to reliable assets like Btc.

Well, I think you sound like a pained lecturer. People act based on the wealth of information available to them and their level of discernment at that time. For me, when I first bought my bitcoin, bitcoin experienced a bear run almost within two months of my investment, causing me enough pain and panic and the only information available to me then was to sell off before things gets worse, none of my friends back then had better information. Would you say we got what we deserved?, of course not, we acted on limited information.

Your victimizing others because you've been opportune to be in this forum and get access to quality information that has shaped your mindset correctly, lest you're not different from those making mistakes. For those on the right path of investment, they have good information,more balanced emotions and good fate too. I mentioned good fate because some investors actually hit unplanned rocks and had to sell off their investments to keep them alive.

I'll still validate your points with respect to some people actually being very careless in with their Crypto handling and leading them to terrible loses.

We deserved not to lose but it was unfortunate that it was also the result of our wrong practices. Most of us especially newbies underestimate trading, we'll think it was just an easy game and do trading without preparation and lack of knowledge. It is hard to say but being innocent is not an excuse to make losses as we neglect the fact that trading is risky and losses are certain if we don't have an idea about this.

That is why I hope that newcomers will have to listen and take a huge consideration why we should have to earn ideas first before starting. Otherwise, we can be one of those thousands of traders who suffer the consequences.

The "you get what you deserve/you don't get what you don't deserve" is quite a neoliberal thinking that puts the merit and the blame on the individual. In almost everything in life, luck plays an important (many times decisive) role in one's success, and crypto is not any different.

We cam agree that doing your own research, managing risk, having the vision where others don't, etc. is key to succeed, but even more important is the fact that, if the market goes up, you'll almost certainly win, and if the market goes down you'll almost certainly lose.

So don't blame on you if you lost money because it is natural and you were brave enough to try, but don't believe that you are any better than others if you won it instead, because it could've been the other way too and what market decides doesn't depend on you.

As far as I'm concerned, if you jump into the crypto space without knowing anything you'll get what you deserve. Newbies have less experience and tend to rush more the moment they get their availability. If you can't research the market well and work hard how can you get good results? Take what you deserve according to your merit. There is a lot to learn in the crypto space, without patience you will never be able to correct your path.

There are some things you will do in the crypto space that will make you feel you are gambling. Trading without it's knowledge is a typical example. Your chances of making it is just by luck. Learning in the space sometimes may cost you money. This is why some newbies will prefer jumping directly into crypto without it's knowledge and at the end they will still get what they deserve just like OP as said.

Plain and simple, this is why I don't feel bad whenever I got the wrong results, I know I can reshape things and get the right results if I work hard at it, if you rush too much in this crypto space you will get what you deserve, if you fail to seek for information you will still get what you deserved and if you are someone with lots of patience, you will eventually get what you deserve.

It's also better to accept whatever happens in your journey as your fault or mistake, you will be able to make amend with yourself when stupid mistakes happens, it's inevitable to avoid mistakes and that's one of the ways we learn as a human, don't give up because of your own decisions, get better at whatever you are doing, Rome wasn't built in a day.

You are completely correct on that , there are many of us who just wanted to Jump making
money while they did not understand the ins and outs of crypto in which made their decisions ruined and
indeed they Blame either the market or someone to cover their mistakes .
That is right because if you wanted to really earn then you must understand and learn first ,
there is no quick money and those who fails? are the one that keeps seeking for instant riches .

In the cryptocurrency you can see and get the results from the words with the words mi. If you pay for Bitcoin, you may want to try it . Either way, without any visible signs or from anywhere in the world, it is possible to send it to someone else This means that you can achieve the final result of the results

Yes I agree with you. The decision people make in cryptocurrency is what they deserve. If you choose the wrong coin to invest because of lack of patience and greed you will definitely get what you deserve in investing in altcoins. Cryptocurrency is so straightforward that it gives people the exact results just as they handle it. That is why it is important when investing or trading cryptocurrency things needs to be done the right way just gey better results.

Nature gives according to what one desire, as no body can work faster than it shadow so is to every work man do the results is always equal to effort made. I doubt people who blame on furfather and some uncle as there course of failure when there is no personal impact or help you have given to yourself, in this our generation any body that failed should not blame anyone because it's your inability to work hard and smartly because the both must go to achieve it. I want Tell that today some has made their night day just to reformed their future and person who don't work, will expect anything is not possible not only in crypto space it includes other aspect of life what you put in determine your output.

By deserving we can directly refer to fate. We may never get more than what we are destined to receive, but we can change our deserving or destiny by our own effort and our own skill. Now you invest by buying bitcoin at current price now if bitcoin makes new ATH and goes to all time high then if you leave it to luck without selling then of course you have to sell if you don't sell and more  If you wait to receive then a kind of greed will work in you that greed will spoil your luck in this case you can never blame your luck. So before doing anything you must try and if there is a craving you have to get rid of it but you can only take as much as you deserve.

I don't think that people deserve to get scammed. Many people enter this market because they hear stories of high returns, they see hype about blockchain and cryptocurrencies and decide that this is something that really has potential. And the problem immediately starts with the fact that they don't have knowledge, experience and analytical skills to recognize that most of these cryptocurrencies have no real value. Does this mean that people deserve to get scammed by those who blatantly lie that their coin will perform well? Because in traditional markets like stocks you can be brought to court if you lie to your investors and basically pocket their money without even trying to deliver anything. But in crypto this is the norm.

Humans are emotional beings, especially when they are very happy or depressed. This is the time they take the wrong action so if you are not in your average mode it will be better to take a break and sometimes change your modes. There are a few areas an investor can work on to lower the risk of an emotional trade. A money management strategy can secure your portfolio from not only emotional trade but also anything that goes wrong with your investment strategy.

Ignorance most times make people to invest in shitcoin. They believe it can be pumped at anything thereby giving them good profit. But they never look into the negativity of it been dumped and making them lose their fund. Just like OP has said, you deserve anything that comes from your action in any investment you made.

You are right. Even if you wait for years by buying the wrong asset, there is no chance of any profit. So it will be its own reward for itself.
A lack of knowledge in the cryptocurrency space can put an investor at a disadvantage . Moreover, investing slowly through DCA method reduces the purchase price a lot and then waiting increases the chances of getting profit . So wait for the bull market by gradually investing in DCA method.

They're are so many hazards involved, new traders should learn everything they can about trading before getting started. That is why anyone planning to trade should be well-versed in the subject in order to minimize losses. Investing in cryptocurrency necessitates adequate education. Because what you don't know is bigger than you, in this situation, everyone who truly intends to succeed in trading should conduct research and comprehend every aspect of trading.

Morever in the realm of cryptocurrency, knowledge is more than simply a benefit—it's the key that opens the doors to financial independence and a comprehension of blockchain technology. Additionally, it is in our best interests to avoid having an emotional or sentimental tie to any cryptocurrency trade, and to occupy our time with thorough research so that we may make well-informed judgments that will enable us to achieve financial freedom.


Yes, that is mostly what we're facing at times when we decided to invest. Greed is a powerful selfish urge, and the only way to escape it is to educate ourselves on crypto trading so that we can reach our goals.

Cool OP and don't be afraid of missing out on the price, there are always corrections at any time if you want to win in the game, apply a pattern that doesn't cause headaches in trading, always set an appropriate purchase price and take a reasonable profit because even though it looks small, if collected, it's very sizable in a day.

I think that's right, I was the one who got it lol. a few years ago I lost a lot of money on shitcoin whose price fell to -90%. I then made the situation worse by doing futures on Binance with a lev of 125x, within a few hours my funds were hit by a margin call, I really lost everything. Even my cellphone was destroyed because I slammed it when I got the margin call notification. but finally I accepted the fact that after experiencing sadness for months, now I am fine... let this be a lesson for me.

Not only cryptocurrency but this applies to every asset. We only get what we deserve because we can only get profits from what we invest in.
Identifying and executing the right strategy is the only way to make profits but in the process many tend to fail due to greed.
Greed is our biggest enemy which takes us away from our goals.

Arguably you could say everyone gets what they deserve. The chemist will tell you, every action has an inverse and proportional reaction. Some other times, you do suffer for an action that doesn’t sterns from you but just because, you happen to be at the wrong place and at the right time or at the right place in the wrong time.

Coming to investment, some persons have been able to make their fortune through these shit coins, it doesn’t make it any less a shit coin as there are always victims. In most cases, these shit coins boom for a time and then those who are knowledgeable or adhered to there skepticism enough would withdraw while some others might prefer to wait, some others might see the growth and then invest without been aware that these coins are ready for a turn around towards the dip.

It’s an idea that has beseeched shit coins over the years that, most investors just wants to withdraw once it pumps, this might cause a dump for the project never to rise again. When you don’t share this idea, it’s more like you actioning what might be your downfall.

That’s why, most investors rely on Bitcoin, it’s got the idea of patience always gets you to profits.

People also want to make instant profit, so when you inform them that Bitcoin is a long-term investment they don't want to put in money. They usually prefer investments that will give them profit in a few days or weeks. This is why many people become victims of scams and Ponzi schemes. It takes patience and bravery to invest in Bitcoin because there will always be events that will generate FUD which might make one want to sell off.

There is no guarantee that your income will be steady. Some emergencies like job losses, health issues, wars, natural disasters etc are some situations that can make a hodler consider selling. These emergencies can exhaust your emergency funds steadily and cannot have money and die of hunger because you want to a make profit in the future. A Palestinian in Gaza will gladly sell his Bitcoin to facilitate immigration to a safer nation.

Hodlers need to be patience and be self confidence in what they do. Self confidence is what newbies lack and this is because they are new in the space. Most do fair to lose money but want to make profit always. This is why you see them selling out their bags out of little dip.


That's human nature. If the money doesn't exist anymore, we will definitely sought for it through another means but since it's still available, most times it will definitely be our first alternative.

HODLing isn't for everyone... If you've got a steady income and can possibly survive any vises without the HODLed funds, that's exactly when you're ready!... It's also the reasons why we keep advising newbies to not jump into HODLing 'em coins because they've heard so many people doing so... BIG QUESTION IS - How patient can you be??! What if the money vanished into thin air, won't you source out for an alternative over your said problems?
Patience is a virtue.. not everyone has it. So in cases like this, some would survive and make profits while others would become profitable to the miners.

I can't agree more with you, but we should also look into another fact that most people (mostly dumb ones) do not see in the first place that if a person has got some deserving place or thing, he must have worked so hard for it. It does not mean you can get to that place in no time. For example, I have seen people spending 2 to 5 years in the learning phase where they act as junior or lower ranks but after so many years when they get a deserving place, people only see how they got that place. He did nothing.

If he can get that place then why we can't, and they ignore the process to reach to that point and end up saying that the person (who is asked by people for guide) is misguiding them or not telling them the right way to achieve that deserving place. I have seen so many examples of this. I hope you understand my point here.

Knowledge is profitable in all you are doing, if you lack knowledge in the crypto trading, I will advise you to do everything possible to look for way to acquire the knowledge so that you will get positive results from your trading which are those things knowledgeable traders deserve in the business.

When you failed in some tactics in your trading just know that it will not be forever which you have the right to change somethings that will make you get it right and it will help you to recover all that you have lost in the past.

Life is gabage in gabage out, is what you put in that will determine your result. Emotion has side effects and not planning well, such as not following the right investment or trading you will put all effort and energy in waste bag trading right give a good reflection be of good hard work put in place . I come across someone who was narrating how he becomes a bitcoiner and the level he operate actually the story is all about this topic he got what he deserves effort made was not a wasteful one, to every hard work there is always result in all aspects of life.

It is certain that there will be profit and loss in trading, but the profit and loss must be calculated within the income of who has more benefit and who has less benefit. A person who faces a loss in trading must be new and extra greedy, that's why his money sits for more profit despite the profit. These greedy people have losses in trading, experienced people who can take small amount and right time trades and sell trades gain in trading. If you want to trade, you have to deal with greed first, then you will get success in trading.

Agree with you. We also often hear the expression that says that all efforts will never betray the results. But what if the opposite happens, do we still try to do dca on bitcoin? Even though we have tried hard, our efforts never produce good results, but we continue to train hard but victory never comes. Does that mean we should stop trying to dca bitcoin? Of course not. Because the correct answer is as you said, never give up, stay patient and stay consistent. I think success will definitely come. Because in bitcoin investment the most important thing is patience and consistency in doing dca.

Certainly, I understand your point of view. Working hard and putting in effort are essential steps, and the concept of "Ikhlas" can be complemented by perseverance and dedication. It's like a partnership with God's will, where we strive, pray, and remain sincere in our efforts, believing that success comes from a combination of hard work and divine guidance. This balanced approach aligns with many beliefs and values, creating a harmonious synergy between human endeavor and faith.

Many people tell us their life success stories after coming to crypto currency and there are many who tell us their failure stories. By listening to success and failure stories we can find the difference between why a person has succeeded and why a person has failed. One user has done trading and he must know well about trading and then traded, on the other hand, another person has directly followed other's success, then here the difference is very easy to find out who's trading strategy was right and who's wrong. Sometimes we should learn from the common mistakes we make.

An investment success story is when an investor invests in a long term plan and after waiting for a long time he makes a profit when he sells his investment. On the other hand, when another person invests, he expects the same profit as that person, and when he does not get the same profit as that person, he proves himself to be a failure. That is the difference between success and failure.

What a topic! As funny as it might sound, it's spot on. Knowledge and patience are indeed the two important tools one needs to anchor in order to smoothly navigate the crypto terrain. I know the message is for everyone but I feel like the newbies really need pay more attention to it. When you know the approximate time to buy Bitcoin and hold longer, you'll get what you deserve. If you don't know anything about altcoins why not buy Bitcoin and hold instead of buying some bag of shitcoins that are actually worthless. Same applies to your wallet security, If you're careless about it, you'll definitely get what you deserve.

Makes sense because we need such belief which will help us to cope with any loses which may be temporary loss but we will feel everything goes against us and eventually people gets trapped in depression. But, if we understand that our job here is to work hard and keep upskilling ourselves and learning new things and trying to do things differently regardless of outcome as sometimes we don't get the desired outcome but what follows is much better than that. But we should take this as an excuse for our laziness wherein one shouldn't put in efforts and thinks they will get what they deserve without any efforts, because one don't deserve anything without any efforts.

I resonate with this perspective as it aligns with my religious beliefs. It emphasizes that our sustenance is predetermined by a higher power, encouraging gratitude for what we receive. Despite our efforts and hard work, if something is not meant for us, it won't materialize. Learning to be content and sincere, I've adopted an "ikhlas" approach, letting go of outcomes while actively exploring alternative income sources. This mindset allows me to navigate life with humility, acknowledging that what comes our way is a part of a larger plan set by a divine force.

Definately we are the results of what ever thing we do. Just like they say " what ever a man soweth that shall he reap" just like the way people complain about shitcoin and how tempting and useless they are, and people actually go for it, and when it falls or disappoint, then we complain, forgetting we have been warned about it.

If those who have worked hard but still have not received a reward that is commensurate with what they have worked for, this must be considered a quite important process for each of them. Because one day they will also succeed with more rewards as long as they don't give up by continuing to try consistently on the path they have taken so far.

And those who are reluctant to work hard at what they have started are the ones who are simply not consistent enough because they give up more easily when there is no appropriate reward. In my opinion, this is not good because giving up working hard is not the best option for those who want to be successful with a target of big rewards through something.

The result each of us gets on what we do depends on our approach and strategy of how we go about it. If someone should go about investing in Bitcoin with a DCA strategy, we will find out that they will surely make profits from it in the long run. However, there are situations when people are unable to accomplish their anticipated targets of making much profit in bitcoin. Nevertheless, we all get caught up with what we deserve based on our knowledge and level of preparedness toward them.

The example you provided is a good illustration of it. An investor using the DCA strategy for nitcoin will surely end in profit since that is what they deserve.

In short, each individual receives the result they put in

Very true, gaining knowledge should be the prerequisite to any decisions making, alot of time, many have taken the wrong decisions because they never take the time to understand what their next decisions will be and how the outcome of that decision can affects or benefits their life's, this have reflected in the experience their get from the whole thing, but despite that, we still have lessons to learn and our ability to work with those lessons to better our future outcomes and results is what matters most as an individual.


First one need to take time to understand everything that involves what the idea or project's are and also try to relate that to our personal life, whether or not those ideas or project's plans and programs fit into our individual life, this are the things that one need to constantly check so as to be in a better positions and informations that will aid your better decisions taking process.

Indeed, in the world of cryptocurrency, there is no such thing as a second chance or a "pardon me, I don't know." We should educate ourselves about it beforehand to know what we are getting into and understand how to go about it so we don't end up losing money and having a horrible first experience. Everything that occurs to you when trading or holding is entirely on your head, and you really got what you deserved.


Knowledge is key to everything especially in the crypto space, with knowledge you will know the right step to take and the best decisions to make. Those who lack knowledge and wants to invest will think investing in bitcoins will require a huge amount to start up but with knowledge we have come to understand that the easiest way to accumulate bitcoin is to adopt a DCA strategy using an amount one can afford to lose. No pressure, no stress and no fear of losing your investment. DCA strategy allows us to invest at our own convenience with the little income we make.

Knowing your way around in the crypto space and earn profits is all down to the knowledge you acquire and all those people who make profits from crypto investments are not magicians neither are they special they just achieve so much because of the knowledge they possess and like OP I would say they got what they deserve. People who lose so much in trading or holding cryptocurrency can be linked to the lack of knowledge about cryptocurrency and so they also got what they deserved because they invested out of ignorance.

Any trader or investor with sufficient knowledge will be able to comprehend that all of the trading methods mentioned above are not ideal and are extremely risky for any trader. They will also be aware that emotional regulation and self-control play an important role for all traders.


As previously stated, the outcome of a trade is solely a reflection of the trader's performance, which is determined by how thoroughly he researched and grasped the market, as well as the effort he put into his trading career. Results do not lie, a trader may be lucky, but if the results are consistent, it is noticeable that it is no longer luck. If the result is consistently negative, it's clear that the trader got what he deserved.

Circumstances can't always be predicted Investors and trader sometimes losses alot of profits in times of transportation And marketing we always pray for the best to come for you get things right you need to work hard and prayer full for it,as a team that wants to win most train harder.a student that wants to pass his/her waec or jamb must read hard to get flying colors but sometimes we work hard and yet get a little for return and this may discourage a lot of people to work hard we most not forget to pray hard to overcome any circumstances

Profits and losses are simply the reflection of how its investor or trader perform its task. If one is done with high caution and mastery in the market, most likely we will see positive results, but if it's done with greed and impatience in the market, the result will be likely negative. So we only got what we deserve. Not just in trading or investing, but mostly in life's aspects, if not done with perfection, we cannot anticipate perfect outcome as well.

Trade and invest with knowledge and required skills. That way, if ever you lose, that will be temporary because sooner as you learn your lessons, the probability to succeed also increases and become more visible.

Everything lies in your own hands. If you chose to acquire knowledge and skills throughout the years, then you will most likely become successful in every endeavor you plan to make, and you deserve it because you work for it. If you want to stay on your comfort zone and not risk taking new things, still you deserve it because that's what you prefer not to do anything. The crypto space offers vast opportunities so that's up to you on how to take advantage on it, or you'll keep missing opportunities like this.

Things that you experience right now are actually what you deserved. Be it profits or losses, that is only the result of what you've been risking since from the start.

Things never happen without a reason. You win when you have faith on what you're doing so you put extra efforts on it, but you lose when you ignore the consequences of your action and decision, and chose to even continue doing it. Same things happen in trading or investing. You reap what you sow, you get what you deserve.

If you think you never follow the right methods in trading, expect that success will be hardly attainable. But if you trade with caution and trade on your average funds, you will seldom face losses but mostly successful and profitable trades. Always assess your actions or decisions whatever the outcome of your trading or investing in crypto.

I'll just generalise your point and say that we only get what is already planned for us. Because in the crypto space, many people may start together and one will become better than the other over time. While others want to learn more and improve their trading knowledge, others are simply looking for a click bait project that will make them rich overnight. Everyone got what they deserved because of their mindset.  You will also get what you deserve if that is what you intend to achieve and work hard to achieve. No one is perfect, but exploring and understanding before taking action is the best way to avoid failure in the crypto space.

Why don't you lose money if you invest in bitcoin because bitcoin doesn't cause harm? Even if we buy at a high price, there is no loss in Bitcoin as long as we don't sell it. as long as we still hold bitcoin of course they will not lose because bitcoin always has a four year cycle which shows bitcoin will create a new ATH.

For me, there are only two losses in investing in bitcoin, being hacked and losing the wallet key, apart from that as long as you still hold bitcoin you can't say you have lost.

No matter outcome we get from our decisions we need to take it like that. We also need to ask questions before we make any financial decisions because this can have a critical effects on us if we are not careful. The market is risky and what every outcome we get from the decisions we make is left to us and we don't have to blame anyone for our decisions. The market can be lucky for us to make especially when we make decisions that benefits us as a result of buying or selling along the trend of the market giving us profits.

it is certain that when investing in bitcoin or trading we will get appropriate results and in accordance with what we sacrifice and do, likewise by investing in altcoins of course we will get appropriate results, but indeed investing in altcoins is very risky but of course the enthusiasts altcoins do not decrease because the profits from altcoins are always large, but the losses incurred from altcoins are also very large, so it is true that we will get results commensurate with our sacrifice and hard work.

However, only Bitcoin is the safest crypto which has of course been proven. Yes, in this case it depends on each individual, but what is clear is that knowledge must be prioritized because without knowledge we will lose in investing and lose in trading. In this life we ​​will indeed get something that is appropriate and commensurate with our hard work, which of course is not only from the crypto world but also from other things in real life. We will definitely get appropriate results, namely according to the steps we take.

this is good advice op

This is realistic and a fact. Sometimes we hope for really wow results for ourselves. Meanwhile, our efforts are only limited compared to other people's efforts. That's why other people are more successful than us. Our habit is that we initially see other people's wild results so that when we start learning trading, we will fantasize about having such abilities easily. Without wanting to learn and starting everything with thorough preparation. and it's actually just a small effort from us. and we feel like we are the ones who are hurt the most because we actually lose money and feel like we have tried optimally to get that result. In essence, there is no victory without appropriate effort.

As investors, we also have to be smarter about how to manage Bitcoin investments properly and provide profits. Bitcoin investment is a good long-term investment because the increase is quite extraordinary. It depends on what price you buy and definitely don't give in to FOMO when buying. Those who buy at ATH are still losing money and will definitely soon exceed the last ATH price and make a new ATH.

It might look too simple OP but may not be as what you presume.
There might be many reasons to why a person can loose what he/she has invested, can be at the early stage of choosing which currency to invest into, considering the time of buying and as well when to sell. Selling your Bitcoin due to a little down trend is definitely a bad idea and for sure will face the consequences.

In the case of Altcoin, it's kind of difficult to be smarter than the Devs they know perfectly how to trap their investors. Altcoins are considered as an investment base on luck like the gambling. Knowledge is helpful but that does not certify you making any profit from the investment.

You are correct, buddy, everyone in the cryptocurrency space gets what they deserve. If you invest in bitcoin and hold onto it for a long time during a bull run, you will profit, as that is what you deserve. As for those who invest in shit coins believing they are the best option, and later lose money or make money, they also received what they deserved. Did you realise you deserve everything you get in this life, no matter what path you choose? Since a lot of people don't know, some people act without second thought. If you're a novice, it's best not to even heed the advise of those who don't recommend investing in bitcoin.

Although some people are very intelligent when it comes to trading and buying some shit coin and they get a good profit there, when it comes to bitcoin, as long as you can hold your coin without letting anybody else have access to your wallet, mate, I believe you will never regret doing it. So as you say, mate, everyone got what he deserves, and that's true. For me, however, I will advise every newbie I see to invest in bitcoin because if things go well and he really understands my advice, he will thank me later.

I don't think early adopters of Bitcoin will agree with you on that. They got what they never expected. A lot of them just threw a few pennies into it because they weren't that intentional it would amount to anything. The rest of us are just playing catch-up now and are in expectation of what value it can bring. We're deliberate in our investment but not many have that patience of a long wait.

We should always factor in the right time of buying and hodling of Bitcoin and not always glamourise it as if there aren't those who've suffered losses investing in Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin remains the surest investment in this industry but losses are still there with it. Those who bought at ATH arent yet in profit (that's if they're still hodling till now).

I find this statement true in life, not just in this space.


These are not vagues statements, its true undeserving may get money due to luck, but he'll not be able to secure it while those having financial education will know how to secure it/multply it.

Well not all mindset is the same. Revenge trading is inevitable sometimes especially the user has temperamental type of guy. Like a guy investef $1k and turn that into $10, this will enable him to hit the market back hard. But thats not a good approach hence we should always consolidate ourselves to be more discipline which also a tough one to handle.

I agree with you. It is up to you if you want to do something you want to do and if what you are doing lets you earn money then you deserve it and if it's about gaining knowledge then you deserve it. What you do in crypto space is your own decision and no one can decide for your own that is best for your although you may ask for guidance from another person but at the end, it's still up to you on what you decided after asking someone.

You are the one in control of your own life, so whatever happens to it or whatever you achieve in life simply reflects on how you managed your own life. You get what you deserve because you work for it with the help of crypto. However, if you are waiting for big changes in your life without doing nothing, then you deserve to gain nothing because you did nothing as well. Whatever you sow, you will reap in the future. Just like if you plant good things, you will gain positive outcome as well.

Life is what you make it. You don't hold guarantees in life, so make sure to plant something good so your can expect good returns in the end.

You are 100% right, I still consider myself a newbie in most cases where I am unaware of something and I have to consider myself newbie in order to learn the things, and newbies do make one mistake that they do not realize what mistake they might be doing. For example, I had all of my holdings in BTC, but, before that, I was not into BTC, I was trading in alts when I started my time here on this forum.

I was in lose due to the alts but when I accepted in campaigns and started to receive BTC then I started to hold them too and till now I can say, BTC is the best currency to hold and with time I have learn that. And if someone would ask me to make money with most assurance and lesser risk then I will recommend BTC to him.

But at that time I was not in BTC and now I am totally into BTC but being totally into BTC is also not a good strategy because there is no diversification in it. In order to manage risk you have to diversify your portfolio and the alts is not full of shit coins as it do have some good coins with good use cases like dot, eth, link etc. etc. Which are doing good and worth to have some of your investment in them. They can also give you good return and maybe more than BTC would do.

As a newbie trader, you should not go into details. You want to diversify your investments, and thus adding Bitcoin by 1% to 10% will enhance the strength of your investment portfolio over time. The simplest strategy is to buy a fixed amount of Bitcoin on a monthly or weekly basis for an average of 4 cents as a minimum. The more knowledge you have, the more opportunity there is to achieve higher profits with low risks. However, trying to increase your profits without in-depth knowledge of the nature of the investment is closer to gambling with a losing bet, that is, with a profit rate of less than 20%.

Anything someone gets in this life is exactly what he deserves because you can't get something that isn't yours, if you didn't invest in bitcoin when the price increases, people who invest will get profit because they invest because they want to make money, if you didn't do anything you won't get anything because you didn't wake up and do something that will help you out, sometimes I'm surprised when some people say they need money and won't work They believe that money will come to them without any effort, money come to someone who works hard and achieves what they desire.

We all get what we deserve, including newbies that will come and be complaining that they lose money to either shitcoins or a scam platform; they got scammed due to ignorance, and even though they can get all the knowledge they need before they start, they jump into it without knowledge, which is why they lose money or get scammed. Bitcoin investment is the best, which is why the DCA method is encouraged so that low-earners can get the chance to invest gradually, and since bitcoin is a store of value, they will always be in profit provided they hold it for a long period of time. Although some altcoins are profitable, they are not too good for long-term investment due to their centralized nature because the project can shut down at any time.

What a man does, that's what he gets. He reaps what he sow. So if he sticks into bitcoin and hold for indefinite years, he will gain massive profits in the future. But if he chooses altcoins over bitcoin, he might lose and eventually all his funds will be lost. That's more likely the cause and effect of every action taken or done.

We are the ones making our future. That is the reason why we should always do things in timing and definitely with caution.

Sometimes lack of the right knowledge is the major cause or should I make it more appropriate by calling it ignorance because most people know of the DCA but tend to ignore and choose a faster route to their Bitcoin portfolio and knowing full the risk involved they still take it and it's always a two sided coin when it's comes to taking huge risk, it's either you win or lose it all and if you ask me I think slowly gathering your portfolio will be better as their no certain fear of losing all saving at any wrong turn of choice making.

Well, there is always a saying that in every rule there is always an exemption, those who fell into a situation that they need to sell their holdings no matter how they wanted to hodl for a long time is I think unlucky.  I may say they are victim of a situation and I do not think they deserve to experience such things that will force them to sell their BTC holdings even before their intended timeframe.

But for people who have all the luxury to have knowledge about cryptocurrency and the needed capital to hodl for very long time buy instead decided to sell at the very first sign of he price of BTC going down, they deserve to lose or miss out on profit because they do not have faith in what they are investing, and people who are into altcoin and see the pump going and decided to hodl longer because they wanted to sell at higher price and ends up bag-holding worthless altcoins, they deserve it because they are too greedy not to sell at a profit and wanting more.

Circumstance of events like this can happen to anyone irrespective of the person you are when you first come into the world of cryptocurrency. What guides people the most is the first knowledge they get when they first join the space. If you’ve had the knowledge to make profit through altcoins and you followed it well, you would be lucky and make a fortune from it. Also, if you do the same for bitcoin, the rewards still remains for you. Your saying that everyone only got what they deserve in this space is too direct, although you’re right. But just know that circumstances happens, but in all, it is to help guide people to make the right choice or decisions going forward.

Many people are impatient and greedy in this space and you can’t blame them because me that’s how humans are been programmed to react to things like this. Everyone knows bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency to invest in and make a worthwhile out of it in the long run, but the profit that comes at an instance with some of the altcoins makes people want to risk their money to invest in them also. At this point, no need of being judgmental of what decisions people make in this space as long as they already know the basics which is knowing the difference between bitcoin and altcoins.

I think for someone to deserve something very good then s/he has to stop following the trends I think it's mostly deceitful without knowing those people already had target on when and how to exit the market even before newcomers or investors starts making their investment into that particular assets.

I know we all deserve to reap something good from our investment but then we don't apply the right techniques to lead us successfully to whatever investment we are venturing especially to those with mindset of following the project that would give them the possible percentage they needs within the period of time they projected without also knowing that such projects mostly ends in pump and dump.

The bitter truth is that people refuses to have patients towards holding a particular asset it could be Bitcoin or any other reputable altcoin and not just newly launched projects.

Why not? I agree with you. If one is fully knowledgeable about crypto, they will reap the profit that comes after, and they deserve it basically because they had the right knowledge and did the right thing at the right time. I take the example of people who will see Bitcoin trading around $40k+ today, but they will wait till around the bull market when the price has reached $90k. That's when they will purchase their first Bitcoin, which might be as a result of fear of missing out because they may believe that Bitcoin will get to $100k and above. At that moment, even if the price dumps and they end up losing, they caused it for themselves because they bought when the price was high instead of when the price was low.

There are people who are always in favor of making a profit in altcoins because they have studied how to go about their investment in altcoins, they know when to buy and when to sell, they do research and analyze the market before they invest, they are aware of the degree of risk they are taking, and if they finally make a profit from their investment, they deserve it.

Not everything that happens to a man is of his doing, there are somethings that are bound to happen so that we can learn from it. Some people it is because of their greed that makes them run at loss. They have the knowledge that bitcoin is the best to invest in by holding for long term, but because they need big profit within a short period of time.

This is same with trading, and they forget to understand that trading is more skillful than hodli and it is more professional, they think that they can use trading to double their bitcoin, when they cannot control their emotions and they enter the market when they don't understand the market.

To be honest I don't understand why you are posting this message in the Beginners & Help section instead of the Discussion one. Do you really think it will help beginners to say that? First of all, BTC hasn't being designed by Satoshi Nakamoto to be a financial investment otherwise it would be declared by the SEC as a security. It has been designed to be an online "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" actually. So you should encourage newbies to use it instead of trying to just make profits from it.

That's true and those people that just can't be patient at all are the ones that losses more money. They are preferring what others strategy that works for them but not for own selves.

We've got different journeys if it's about trading and investing on this market. And the crazy part is the comparison of how others are finding the so called gems and make a lot of money from them while someone who's just chill on the market doesn't.

It's also the reason not to look at others portfolio and holdings and how much they are making because you have a different approach towards this market's volatility.

If anyone gambles with their money on any shitcoin, it's on them to take responsibility for their action, but your assumption that in the crypto space, what you get is what you deserve is absolutely wrong. Yes, I said so. So does anyone deserve to lose? Does anyone deserve to gain? It all depends on the circumstances. You can lose in Bitcoin too; it's volatile in nature; it goes either way, so don't exaggerate holdings of bitcoin as the only way to profit.

Assuming I bought an alt like SOL at $1 and now it's $100 plus on the coin market cap, does that mean I also deserve to lose because I didn't buy Bitcoin? So look at things critically, both negatively and positively, before you conclude.

I'm not disputing the fact that DCAing into Bitcoin is good, but let's not overexaggerate things.

So you are literally considering every other alts as shitcoins, that's where you are wrong, many people won't be here today if there is no alts, the hope and dream of making money like those who buy Bitcoin from the beginning is why many people are in crypto space, they knew that getting such ROI as those who bought Bitcoin years ago is now not very possible with Bitcoin anymore so they are looking elsewhere. 

If we are to consider that all other coins except bitcoin are shitcoins, what about those that bought Ethereum at $1? I am not going to consider all other alts as shit, yes Bitcoin is the best and the safest, but the most part where I made the best money is from altcoins.

I am not afraid to take risks on alternative coins, and right now I am reaping what I deserved, taking risks makes you stronger, mine thought me how to pick the good apples from the basket of bad apples.

How and who determines who deserves to receive and who does not? What do you need to do to move into the "deserving" category? You know, these are all vague abstract statements. In cryptocurrencies, those who deserve it become only because of luck or a simple coincidence. Those who were the first to buy bitcoin received a good profit. Is there any highest merit in this? Hardly. Their achievement is only in the presence of patience (or in the absence of an urgent need to cash out the invested money), thanks to which they were able to save their bitcoins.

When investing or trading, you need to act prudently and only with a cool head. There can be no place for any emotions here. In this space, people get what they can take, not what they deserve. If you managed to make a successful deal, you are in chocolate.

Sometimes patience makes you afraid of taking risks. Many people do not want to invest in Bitcoin for anything other than because they are afraid of trying something new. Therefore, taking risks and taking steps that may not seem carefully drawn is a good thing sometimes, but the result must be a risk-calculated adventure and not just an emotional investment.

You are too categorical, OP. Sometimes circumstances beyond a person’s control arise when you have to spend something that you would like not to touch for a very long time. But basically, you are right. Anyone who plans to make investments should think about every expense and not invest their last dollar. As for trading, in this craft, all you need is a good nervous system and a character that is difficult to break into impulsive actions.

Any decision taken
Has a corresponding consequences
We should be ready to bear the consequence of our action whether positive or negative.
But sometimes things are outside our control
Would you say those that lost their funds during the Mt.Gox hack deserved it?
Mind you the DEX was one of the, if not the most used exchange as at that time dealing with Bitcoin.
Other scenarios exist like that
We can't have everything in our control
We make decisions with the little knowledge we have and hope for the Best.

I agree with this. As long as you take the effort to understand the ropes, you will be able to swing around somewhat safely.

This does not apply only to Bitcoin either, failing to understand how anything works fully and jumping into investing in it will most likely end up in a loss. Invest in gaining knowledge as the first step and the next steps will be much easier to make.

Where I will differ with the op is that some people cannot readily get the right source of information despite their willingness to understand how something works.

In cryptocurrency generally you only got what you deserve, we might complain of how bad  or the terrible experience you have had during trading or holding the wrong asset, but in reality you only got what you deserve.
Look at those that have DCA into Bitcoin over the years, right now, they will still be in profit because that's what they deserve, you might decide to hold an alt and let go at the right time and come out profitable, because of the knowledge you have on how to navigate your way in the crypto space make it deserving.
You might decide to lose your money by holding shit coin, instead of Bitcoin because of your lack of knowledge in the crypto space.
If you still want to keep holding Bitcoin, which means you believe in it, so when the bull runs comes and you start reaping your rewards, you deserve it.
Because you were patience enough to hold the right currency which is Bitcoin.

As a newbie or experience trader, if you decide to do revenge trading, emotional trading or high leverage trading, and you lose everything, that's what you deserve, because you lack the knowledge and discipline required to know when to stop and when to continue.
In this space we all get what we deserve.
