29th January 2017. That was the day when I made the biggest mistake sending my bitcoin to a ''trusted guy'' from Pakistan. He was claiming of making profits in Forex, running a classic ponzi scheme named EliteEarnersClub which later turned out to be EliteScammedClub.
That was a good time of my 'career' as an Internet marketer. I was making a lot of money from commisions. I was promoting revenue shares websites where I have made sales of over $400,000 totally. Maybe for you is nothing but I was happy, basically my life changed...until I realised revenue shares were also ponzi schemes. I was looking for investement systems, I was looking for places where I can earn money while I was sleeping.
Before investing in EliteEarnersClub I've deposited in the middle of 2016 some bitcoins in bittrex and poloniex. Delighted to work alone, I have started watching tutorials about trading on YouTube. After few trades I was getting nervous. I got my bitcoins back in my wallet saying, that trading stuff is not for me. The biggest mistake of my life.
I was almost all day online, on my Facebook Feed watching news and everyone seemed to be happy on Friday.
Why
They were receiving their payments from EliteEarnersClub. All over my news feed I was reading "Long Life EEC". I've taken a look on their website, the owner was offering 10% weekly of everyone deposits. Damn! In that moment I tought I will be a millionaire.
Boom!
I had an idea that this guy can't generate 10% profits weekly, even monthly it's so hard in Forex, I knew it 99% that it was a ponzi but I was hoping I was wrong. And it was not like that, unfortunately. The problems started coming. Of course I received 3 weeks my payment but who was expecting that.
The guy lost around 8 millions dollars in a day, saying it was a bad day for trading.
He went to Dubai, you all know why, but saying for family stuff. He made a live video saying:
I will trade for you and you all will be on profit.
That was the moment when I was convinced my money were lost. And I blame only me, but I am learning from my mistakes.
I died twice but I still have integrity.
same story here, this is how i """lost""" ( didn't earn ) something like 200.000$ on mpca.

There are probably few of us there who haven't lost a Bitcoin or two to failed exchanges / con men / poor trades. If you've made any money on cryptos, your still better off than 95% of the population who's never owned one. I've lost 22. At the time they were about $30 dollars, but now I just block it out of my mind.

People play on your emotions and make you imagine stuff that can only be achieved by making smart moves.
It's sad that people would do such a thing, especially considering the amount of people who put all their trust in it and do something like sell their car.
