Pandora, in Greek mythology, was the first woman created by Hephaestus, by the express order of Zeus for revenge against Promised, for giving humanity the power of fire against his will. Sound epic and mysterious? Without a doubt, it is a story more than beautiful and full of fantasy and a huge imagination. Many of us in one way or another already know this story. This did not stay here, since Zeus sent Pandora to where Prometheus, along with a box, and this "box" contained nothing more and nothing less, than all the evils and misfortunes with which he intended to punish humanity. Prometheus did not fall for the trap and distanced himself. Later Pandora ended up marrying Epimetheus, and despite her husband's warnings, she ended up opening the box.
Some of the versions indicate that the box contained goods and riches and not evils as had been said since ancient times. For sure, no one knows what the box actually contained. It is a box of surprises as it is popularly said.
We do not live in the fantasy stories of Greek mythology at all, but we do live in the reality of a world of cryptocurrencies. A world that is highly volatile and so real, yet intangible. A digital world of 0's and 1's that can bring you smiles or drop you into constant depression. A world that deserves to have a chance in your economy. A world, where there is not one, but several Pandora's boxes.
I remember when I started in crypto. Buy BTC to invest in a Spanish βcompanyβ, with the public CEOs, doing daily conferences, showing their faces. I did not reach 1 year of life and began to give problems. Eventually, Pandora's box ended up opening and we all lost a good deal of capital. The saddest thing is to see friends and even family to whom you presented the project and today, they lost their capital. Despite all the warnings that you should always invest what is allowed to lose, you never stop being blamed, after all, you were the one who dragged him into this.
After a good amount of surprise boxes more, in telegram especially, one learns that life is not rosy, and nothing is given away in this life.
I came to read.cash and learned about BCH, the Metamask, the tokens, the SmartBCH in all its splendor. To understand this universe within this galaxy, or this galaxy within this universe is insane. You have to watch the tutorials twice because it's hard to understand everything. But with patience, trial and error, anything can be done. I thought I had found the goose that laid the golden eggs, but it turns out that one day, some of them went to the beach, and Pandora's box did its thing again.
About two weeks ago @MoreGainStrategies published an article explaining everything that happened, you can read it by following this link. Images like this in your article will break anyone's soul.
Immediately afterward came the repercussion of the whole subject, and everyone was talking about the same thing all the time. Many lost a good amount of BCH in a matter of seconds. We all know how difficult it is to get these BCH, which sometimes takes us months of hard work, so that a snake, disguised as a sheep, comes to run away with the money of others. Obviously, when this happens, the chances of getting your money back are almost nil or at least 0.000001%, which is the same as nil.
Then the hopes, the dreams, the desire to continue of many are lost. Others try to continue despite the pain and learn from mistakes. In any case, the situation is very difficult, and there is only a bleak outlook.
This topic turns my stomach, really. So let's leave it here now. The main thing they have to know and it is the bible of everything in this world of cryptos:
Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, diversify.
That these eggs are not all your eggs, but only the eggs that you are willing to lose.
It is said that Zeus ordered the other gods to bring beauty, wisdom, intelligence, and other qualities to Pandora. The goal was to make her attractive so that humanity and men would fall fools before her. We have to be like Prometheus, and realize, although it is difficult, that it comes with a box, which can be fatal.
This is all friends. I hope you like this topic and learn something, which is always the goal. This topic was suggested to me just about 2 hours ago by @PVMihalache after I asked myself to be challenged to a topic for today. I hope I have done it well, let me know in the comments if you can.

Ah, yeah, I took a break after that whole thing happened and have just returned. I worked hard in the meantime - physically hard. Physical strain helps me deal with emotional pain. It feels like an eternity has passed ever since. Thankfully, I put that thing into the box labelled "my past". Just like Pandora's box, it contains this event now. π
Very interesting article. I have heard about Pandora's box before, but it never occurred to me to look up the whole backstory.
