I started realizing this just two weeks ago, before I used to think I was OK with my crypto knowledge. Well I am following the Steemit Crypto Academy, which by the way I highly recommend, but one of the homework involved swapping Tron for another coin on the Tron network and staking it. Well I was able to swap the coins and it turned out all right until I tried to stake, along the way I lost the coins I had swapped and couldn't do anything, I was stuck. Well I missed posting my homework and lost any votes it could have gotten, plus apparently I lost about $10.00 worth of Tron, no big deal, still a loss is a loss.

Then today here on Publish0x I saw a way of staking Banano, I had about $19.00 worth so I figured I would try it, well I did everything I was asked to do, but again along the way I lost my Banano. About $13.00 worth. This time I think it was because I clicked a button before I think I should have, I hadn't set aside for gas and what I should have done was cancel the transaction. Well I was upset, not with the author of the post, not with banano or Meta Mask, I was upset with myself for losing money through my own fault.

But after I got over this, I checked my Tron wallet and decided to see if I could find where my money went and fortunately I found it, so now I am only missing 500 Banano, which I hope will show up one of these days.

Ok, before you laugh, I am going to be 60, I live in a third world country where crypto is practically unknown, and I have actually cashed out some, money which has been very useful to me. So in spite of being a dumb and clueless crypto lover I too know what it feels to win sometimes. That is what makes me not want to quit crypto, in fact I am every day looking for new ways to obtain it.
