RE: A Stupid Mistake Which May Cost Me 3,000 STEEM

I feel your pain, everybody seems to be getting very panicky and emotional about the price rises. You've just got to take a breath before you do anything and double check your addresses and so on, I forget how easy and convenient cryptocurrencies are and sometimes that means you fuck up.

It's one of those moments where you have to remember that you're dealing with real money. What's interesting though it also demonstrates just how damn secure cryptocurrencies are generally that you can get locked out of your own account for good if you don't make sure to record your pivate key as you say.

Yeah, for sure. I was pretty excited waking up in the morning and seeing those prices. I definitely should have slowed down and taken a breath. I've been around a bit though, so this isn't the first time I've tried to do things quickly by a long shot. I probably got a little cocky, a little over-confident. Every transaction should be slow, deliberate, and thought out, no matter how many times we've done it.
