How I Lost 1.5 Million Taking Online Surveys.

When I was younger I was always looking for ways to make money so I took online surveys. One rainy day I took at least 25 surveys and was told that i was going to be paid $5 for each. I took these surveys for hours and was convinced that at this rate of pay that I was gonna make a lot of money. Of course I was only 13 and to make $100+ was a big deal for me.

The next week the company sent me an email saying that it was time to get paid. I was very excited to claim my money and maybe get a new pair of shoes or get a couple games for my xbox. I opened my email and it said "congratulations you are getting paid for your input." It turned out that they paid my in Bitcoin, over 150 of them. Unfortunately 8 years ago I had no idea what a bitcoin was and was so disappointed. I was not sure what to do with it or what a public address was.

Anyways It only gave me a week to claim them and I didn't see the point in claiming them so I just accepted that I was not getting paid for all my work. I could of completely changed my life if I just took 10 more minutes to accept my bitcoin. Thats why you should do research on anything before you decide to write it off.

Today I do own Bitcoin but it cost me a lot more than what should of been $150 and I have a lot fewer than what I could have had. I could have been a millionaire and that is something that I am going to have to live with for the rest of my life.

"idiot" :/
