Thank you for the advice. It should be compulsory before any buys any crypto that they should have to read some simple consumer advice such as you suggest.
Am afraid I have made several of these mistakes, like so many others.
Storing btc on Mt.Gox was painful at the time yet we may get some compensation before the end of the year. Lol!

The U.S. Congress has just issued its annual Economic Report that is rather bullish for crypto as it calls the technology,'''truly revolutionary''. and calls upon the government to examine ways of investing in blockchain.
All crypto investors should look at fundamentals such as this not at get rich quick FOMO.
