Last edit: May 27, 2016, 05:05:35 AM by jacktheking #1 Edited (27 May 2016): This thread was moved from Bitcoin Discussion to Off-topic by someone with the ability - not me.

I am not going to post in meta because I do not want trouble. Hopefully someone with a much higher position will look into this matter.

What's the worst mistake you did with your Bitcoin? It can vary from starting to use Bitcoin to buying dumped Altcoin to gambling.



The worst mistake I made with Bitcoin is... Buying cloud mining hashrate. I bought 0.02 GH/s CEX.IO hash rate voucher at SEOClerk for $2 USD - or maybe $1 USD. I thought with 0.02 GH/s, I would be making a profit in half a year.. And I was wrong.



Well, I bought using the free five dollars coupon. So that does not count as making a mistake with Bitcoin. However, the slow profit lead me to buying hashing power from CEX.IO and later on.. ZeusHash using the Bitcoin I earned from signature campaign.. Again, I thought I would be making profit in a few months. Till today, I'm sure I have not make any profit from both the company yet. CEX.IO stopped their cloud mining operation and.. ZeusHash.. What do you think.?



Edited (15 May 2016):



First edit since this thread was posted. Anyway, after reaching more than 100 pages (103 to be exact), today I will list down some common ones.



1. Gambling

2. Not knowing Bitcoin earlier.

3. Participating in HYIP & Wrong trading technique (both Altcoin and day trading).

4. Sending to wrong address & lost of wallet.

5. Cloud mining & scammed trade. Hi ya!

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.

sending to the wrong btc address

what happened is i'll be sending BTC 's to 4 different addresses and I just copied and paste the address to my wallet then send

after a day I received an email saying that they she did not received the BTC

when I checked the transaction id's I sent BTC s to an address twice and left 1 with no BTC sent

good thing the one who got paid twice is honest and returned my BTC

Ahh. That was one of the worst mistake I make other than cloud mining. I made a thread saying that I will update it once I make a profit (or maybe not) during June on YoBit.Net. The first week went good. Make some profit ~5%. The second week was bad.. I almost lose all my Bitcoin. So I stopped updating the thread. Wanted to start training on Bittrex but.. Afraid that I might make the same mistake again. Currently, I'm holding Bitcoin and some other Altcoin with good daily volume such as Hyper. Ahh.
