I started my journey in 2018 investing blindly in Bitcoin and other coins without understanding what blockchain is and end up loosing money sending BTC profits to Litecoin address - silly me! Then the next biggest mistake I did was to follow the social media influencers posting their future trading profits and I end up loosing a lot of money.

However this experience was really valuable which allowed me to focus on learning what projects are doing and how different blockchains operates. I signed up for many test nets and end up getting beta tester roles in many reputed projects which allowed me to earn bounties and airdrops and made up for some of my loss.

My advise for everyone is to first learn and understand the basics of everything of what you do in Crypto be in trading, investing and stop looking at what others are earning. Focus on learning!
