how i lost my first investment in cryptocurrency using bitcoin!

Hi everyone! My name is Carlo who lives in a small in the Philippines.
this will be my first time posting a blog about my recent experience in the so called cryptocurrency.

I first heard about cryptocurrency when i was celebrating my birthday last October. Me and my hubby decided to take a quick tour to one of the popular destination in the Philippines called baguio.

We had a great day in our first day in baguio and decided to spend the night in our room since we were really exhausted from walking the whole day. while i was doing a catch up on what i have missed from my news feed in facebook, i stumbled a facebook page called coins.ph(a virtual wallet used to store bitcoins) as this is also being promoted by my colleagues from work. Being a totally noob, i had to do a bit of research about bitcoins as i was curious since the page mentioned mainly talked about bitcoins and other cryptocurrency out there.

I was not satisfied with what i have read from some articles so i decided to talk to my friends who was already into this kind of business. I was lucky that they sent me a quick response about how this thing work.

this is where my nightmare is about to start.

i was first asked to create a virtual wallet using coins.ph

A friend of mine suggested to try doing cloudmining as you get your investment in less than a month.

this is the start of the abyss.

Some cloudmining sites offers 10% daily return based from your investment.
i got hooked up and decided to try one of the so called HYIP(high yield investment program) since the offer is promising and you get your money back in 10days anyway .
i had to wait for 2 days to get back in metro manila to add some fund to my coins account to get started with cloudmining since i cant find a convenient store while i was in baguio.

i decided to try auroramine since the feedback that i saw and read was great plus it was in youtube!

tada! this was my initial investment!

since i was able to get some return in the following day, i decided to add more!

i was able to get a return of $30 in a span of 3 days so i decided to add $200 more.

in the 6th day of my investment, this is where i started to panic as the site is now having some issues.

after 7days the site was reduced to this

this where you see my sad emojie face

the site never cameback even up to now.

morale lesson?
there is no easy money. better look for a long term investment if you are planning to start trading cryptocurrency.
alot time to do further review before joining.

hope this will help everyone avoid the same faith i have experience!
