Perfectly stated, sir. This is now probably the third or fourth time I've gotten burned -- EACH time as a result of breaking the cardinal law of "free for play only". The first time was with the BitcoinVideoCasino, which I played several times over a span of two years, and finally (through some research with the help of a buddy who works in cybersecurity) turned out to be a front operation for a company out of Hong Kong (which at the time I told my buddy was "China" - which he didn't understand -- in retrospect look at the situation in "Hong Kong" right now to see how I was vindicated. Also look at what that Chicom Justin Sun did to the entre Steem blockchain. The MAIN life lessons here are : ( 1) don't be too hard on ones' self, as these operations are often well-organized to deceive (my cybersecurity pro friend STILL doesn't understand that BitcoinVideoCasino is (likely) a money laundering operation for those fine specimins of INHUMANITY over there in "The Middle Kingdom", ( 2 ) once you part with your crypto it is LIKELY to be gone with the wind ( unless you get lucky - the key is to not let it go and stick with "free for play", ( 3 ) don't expect that a once "trustable" platform will e CONSISTENTLY trustable ( either through malintent or not ), and ( 4 ) the LESS times you "move" crypto the less risk you have of being "raped", and finally ( 5 ) when you get HIT try to stay calm and remind yourself that you will also have BONUS crypto into the future. This is the only way to stay sane and prevent onesself from "going AWOL" (aka : giving up), which ALSO creates risk that you will miss out on those "bonus" opportunities. In other words, one must sometimes "suck it up" and stay focused with the FAITH that the "Crypto Gods" will shower their grace down upon you.. Easier said than done...
