Ever since I became a full grown adult, aware of his adulthood, I have realised that I make mistakes a lot, but one of the best gift you can gift yourself as an adult is never beating yourself up too much. Mistakes are inevitable, you cant avoid, but you can learn from them. I have made mistakes in all aspects of my life, family, relationship and money, making mistakes with money is the least because, there is a huge chance of making that money back. But relationships or mistakes that have to deal with people’s feelings, there is a slim chance.

 In crypto, especially the decentralised part, mistakes can be done easily, miss a figure or a letter in your wallet address and your money is gone, approve the wrong contract without reading properly, your money is gone. Someone mistakenly accepted 52 USDC for an NFT while thinking it was 52 ETH, he didn’t read properly before approving, was used to the game, hence the reason he didn’t read. Last two weeks, I used a plena wallet to send MATIC to my bybit account, before sending, a message prompt appeared notifying me that sending to a centralised wallet will result to me opening a support ticket, but guess who didn’t read that, me. I spent one week rectifying that issue. 

Today, I wanted to buy a one click node set up, it cost $50 for it, I was supposed to input $50 but instead inputted $100, I approved it and didn’t send the $100. Inch complained to the customer support about it and I was asked to top it up because I inputed a fee that I didn’t fulfil and this has cause a glitch in the system. I had to top it up with extra $50 all because I didn’t read properly, now I have to wait for a couple hours for my node to start running, how is your day going?
