I really wants to share this story, 2017 was the first time I heard of cryptocurrency. The person who introduced me to it completed Sappho my knowledge over education. He wants me to learn about bitcoin but at same time he wants to use me to accomplished his purpose. At first he told me to get wallet is $200 which I gave to create a wallet address, this money is not part of my investment you get, and when he finally show me my wallet, he said he's the bitcoin wallet moderator so he will be incharge of the password and keys as a novice I had no choice than to followed up gradually.
Now I invest $2000 dollars for a start and anytime I open it my money was increasing because those was booming season for BTC but after few days I will discovered that my money is not same amount but rather it has reduced than, this keep occurring at same time, I was receiving hash transactions to God knows where.
One day I was led to open google and verify what's all about bitcoin and altcoin, that's I begins to realized password and keys are personal stuffs no matter who opens the account for you, I loss a $1100 to my friend wallet who happened to have been fooling me all this while. He eventually ran away from my range when I discovered what he was doing.
Lesson: No matter who taught you in schools research is the best knowledge. Education is me telling you something but knowledge is you observing by yourself.
Sorry to hear this, but frankly speaking there have been lots of big red fat warnings signs that you should have noticed when you were talking to your friend. The amount of $2000 you invested is not insignificant and when someone says that he has control over the
password and the keys and you have no choice but to agree, haven't you been suspicious about that? Don't the words password and keys make you feel uncomfortable when somebody else wants them from you? Anyway, I don't know how good of a friend he was for you so I guess that might also play a role when you trusted him. One way or another, $2000 is a lot of money but you can probably be happy that you didn't put even more into that wallet.
This is what these forums are good for. When a situation like that happens, a good advice would be to go to the most popular forum and ask a simple question and you will have many many people wiling to answer you in order to immediately protect you from losing money. I am sure if you had posted even the simplest question like whether it is ok or not to give someone that data, lots of people here would have screamed at you with a big fat
NO!
