I believed in Hi p but trade war came and I hodl till delisted, lost about 1k....

2 years back, curious about owning and buying stocks, i bought Ezion stocks for a few hundreds. Months later it suspended trading and presently so. :D

For crypto, i got myself into this Dragonglass ultility tokens. Their plan as to use these tokens in their own ecosystem (to-be-developed games. for its Initial Coin offering, one has to buy the dragonglass token using Eth, and i started with Coinbase. I was surprised at the amount of trasaction fees needed which i later learned that i could set it loer for slower processing Coinbase defaulted it to a faster processing rate and hence higher cost. Bought some dragonglass token through the ICO and there were regular updates in the telegram channel. I stop following the channel and years down the road, i wondered why i hadnt seen any updates. The CEO prevented members from writing messages in the telegram group. i couldnt find any news online about what happened to it and i messaged him directly. Unexpectedly, he replied, saying that the funds from the ICO has been used up for development and "we were operating for a long time actually". Almost a year and a half i guess.

i didnt spent alot on it, but i was absolutely stunned at how the company disappeared silently.

Giving my wife my pay👋🏻

Just copying what other people are buying without doing my own research. Get in and out at the wrong point for wrong reasons.

Not doing fundamental/technical analysis and intrinsic valuation.
