 What's the most expensive lesson you've had over the last 5 years?

#asknostr 
 Don't sell your #bitcoin , ever.  
 Don’t trust other people when they say where to park your car. 
 Ooft. That sounds ominous! 
 Don't send your Bitcoin to any platform to earn yield. 

Fortunately it was one of my first Bitcoin lessons so wasn't large amounts. 

Not your keys...  
 Working on “crypto” (before learning Bitcoin) - it wiped out my savings, affected my health, and filled my mind with noise instead of signal.

I’m glad it’s fully over now. 
 I am sorry to hear that. Rough ride. Everything is a tuition fee en route to Bitcoin in my experience

At least now you have a firm base to build from for the the rest of your life 
 Thanks again Jake! Yes, now I focus on sound incentives only, and ended up writing an entire book about innovation, entrepreneurship, and bitcoin, so that others don’t have to learn the hard way. https://image.nostr.build/a9f64c8eaafe280fc3ae0123f2c492e08b4389bc858a6b517bb810407d8c0b90.jpg  
 How do I buy a copy? 
 I’ll send you a free digital copy once I finish implementing the feedback from the first 12 beta readers :) - Following the spirit of open innovation, it will be free under CreativeCommons, that’s what Satoshi would do :)

Eventually, people who want to pay for the comfort of having it on Kindle on Paper will be able to get it on Amazon (unfortunately, there’s no good alternative for that) 
 I stopped stacking when it hit the bottom last time. 
 Don't let fear or greed be the motivator of your action.
