i think when people get into bitcoin they should know that there is a learning curve and that one bit of malware of an incorrect address can lead to painful loss.
luckily for me, i had made most of my mistakes with shitcoins, the usual ones from rug pulls to failing to backup a seed and accidently losing access to a metamask wallet with a couple hundred bucks in it.
i was fortunate that i was able to self custody before losing money on exchanges and stuff.
what kind of learning curves did you guys go through?
