Life is a Risk – Here’s What I Learned Losing Money in Crypto

This is a publication based on the suggested topic proposed in the Hive Learners community through their discord, which on this occasion is "THE RISKS WE TAKE".

Welcome, my respectable readers, to my blog. Today I am going to talk about the risks that one takes in life.
Since we are born, we have a panorama that for some is very encouraging, and it is the beginning to live.
To embark on this adventure is a risk in itself because starting to discover a whole universe that is unknown, there is no doubt that it is a very exciting adventure.
It can be seen as something very entertaining, especially when you do not know or do not know about something and you are innocent about it. Like a child, we do not know or know the concepts of good and evil.
But at the precise moment in which a child knows the pain, he begins to feel the difference between good and evil.
And obviously, when you hurt yourself or suffer damage and see that it causes pain, he understands that this is a risk that he is not going to take because he wants to have fun and feel good.
And that is within all the nature of the human being: to seek pleasure and to seek to feel good.
We all somehow seek that our work is done in an easier way. We all seek to have entertainment, comfort, and a better standard of living in the fastest and most accessible way possible. Our bets and the bets of many people are focused on that precisely.
I can tell you about many risks that I have taken in life. The truth is that one of the risks I took, which was not recently but was one of the risks I took, was when the NFT era was in vogue. All YouTube channels and content creators talked about them, and in those days, there were different NFT games.
I remember that one of the ones I took to participate in was the Cryptomines game, which, by the way, is a game that was the initiative of several Venezuelans that ended very badly. They ended up swindling all the people.
You already know what the result was that I am going to talk about.

But my risk was that I decided to invest 200 dollars that I had in that, in buying the NFT, because we had the promise of the developers and the game team that supposedly was very reliable: Venezuelans and with a good reputation, guys from a good house, guys responsible according to what everyone said.
And definitely, at the beginning of the game, it gave me very good dividends, turning those 200 dollars into 2000 dollars in a matter of a short time. In a matter of a month, I already had 2000 dollars. But because of my greed to want more, I decided to reinvest those 2000 dollars again in the game with the promise that things would go well.
And the result was catastrophic because the developers of the game, what they did was make a rugpull with the money.
They changed all the game policy, and what they did was force people or deceive people, telling them to reinvest in another game.
And that all the assets or properties that we had in the previous game, because they made a rugpull and took all the money, they were going to give us a bonus—a bonus that really did not represent anything because again we had to put money in this new game.
They were so cynical and so shameless that they proposed to reinvest in the new project, in the new scam they made.
And this went really wrong because I only lost 200 dollars, but it was 2000 dollars that if I had taken them out at the right time, they would still be there.
The same thing happened to me with several options that are like the crypto world that were in buga, that I lost a lot of money with them.
Another of these issues was the player vs `undead game of the famous PVU, in which I managed to have many assets and I still have the NFTs there with the promise that these assets or these NFTs were going to be worth a lot.
And it turns out that the game disappeared completely and was completely devalued, as it happened with so many other NFT games that only have a season and you have to take advantage of it.

And these were the risks that I took: invest all the little money I had in that.
A third thing that happened to me, more recently, was to invest 300 dollars in a funding fund, a company that supposedly was in charge of investing all the money we lent in cryptocurrencies and different things in Binance.
And we had a legal agreement and everything through a lawyer, but they swindled a lot of people. And these people are the people of candle trading —you can look for them on Instagram— who are some swindlers. They stole my money, my 300 dollars, and they stole a lot of money from many people with the promise that they were going to multiply that money in a period of a year.
And well, these were the things: three episodes in which things went wrong for me.
I'm still in a WhatsApp group where it is discussed what is going to happen with these swindlers of candle trading, who have my 300 dollars and who have a lot of money from other people.
Because we were close to 600 people affected to whom they stole money, where there are people who have a lot, who invested a lot—up to 20 thousand or 30 thousand dollars with them—and they have not returned their money.
Anyway, this is what I can say about the risks and that life is a risk.
And currently, I am running another type of risk that, of course, I will not comment here because I want my projects to be carried out and arrive at safe port.
And commenting them here, well, it would be exposing my thoughts and what I'm doing to the eyes of other people, and I do not want to have any type of competition in this. That's why I do not assume the risk of telling you, and I will not assume because it is something very personal.
This is what I can say about today's topic.

2000 dollars is not a small money at all. Most times we loss money in this space due to greed. Not taking risk is already a risk but learning how to manage risk is so important in life. Am glad you learnt good lessons there. Thank you for sharing
Still hurt those $2000, because with that I could have bought the computer that is missing and the replacement to my cell tlf that the company is already forcing me to change to 4G and that means spending money on a phone with that capacity (my current phone is 3g only).
Lecciones de vida y más
Interesantes anécdotas que aún cuando salieron mal los propósitos algún aprendizaje dejaron.
Me pica la curiosidad si el proyecto tiene que ver con Hive. Neófito como soy aún en este tipo de inversiones mi mente está como una esponja dispuesta a aprender aún cuando meta la pata inexorablemente (como ha sucedido ya). Todo forma parte del viaje.
Saludos y afectos.
Gracias maestro,la verdad que procuro no comentar los proyectos ajenos a hive , porque no me gusta tener competencia, y mucho menos tener gente de hive involucrada en los otros espacios en donde me desenvuelve, porque aunque no me lo creas,me hacen sentir incomodo. Es un buen proyecto, es algo que me va a permitir no depender tanto de hive y estoy muy feliz por ello. Ya son 2 cosas ademas de hive que tengo para redondear mis ingresos y apuntar a mi independencia economica.
Un saludo master!

Le deseo todo el éxito del mundo
Sé que con la energía y la inteligencia que pone en sus proyectos seguramente habrá buenos resultados
En un principio creí que era algo relacionado con Hive. Por eso mi comentario en ese punto.
Abrazo, querido amigo
