Now its good that we have whales and dolphins and minnows..... but we could use some sharks to make it complete :)
So my account balance just got robbed and i lost 2.7 Steem dollars!! But don't panic because that was my own mistake.
It happened like this. I saw a post in facebook about Steemdice, that anyone can earn 15 steemdollar as promotion after making 15 bets. I thought why not right, i had nothing to do and only had 1 steemdollar in my wallet.
Then i started to play and made 2.7 steemdollars totally, and then i thought that is enough il quit. Because i did more then enough bets for the promotion amount, but i never got the promotion amount, so i placed a comment in the post who came up with that idea, as you can see here.
But then i got another reply from the owner of Steemdice, saying that it was fake and that i needed to change my password.
As you can see here.
And when Steemdice explained this to me, i when to check his site and saw the same template, and from that i assume that it was the same site. That was the second mistake i made. The first one was, using the wrong link and the second mistake was, that i did not compare the domain names from the site of the post, and the link of @steemdice1.
I only use the template to judge if those sites are the same, and after i saw that they looked the same, i thought everything is ok.
Until an hour ago, i was drinking my coffee and notice that i suddenly get 9 steem dollars?? And then a moment later i get 22 steem steem?? Then i rushed to my computer ,to see what is going on. And then i saw 22.5 steem was transferred to blockchain..... I thought WTF, then i rushed to changed my password and started to follow the trail of the 22.5 coins and then i realized that i was robbed.
So this valuable lesson costed me 1 steemdollar, the cheapest you can get. But what i don't understand is, that i only logged in with my active key and not my password... or are they the same? i don't know.
But anyway i did not lose much, and this amount is nothing compare to those amounts what other lose here on Steemit. So i don't want to make a big problem about it. What just happened, was my own mistake because i did not look good to those links. And it can happen to the best. So my advice is, only use links from apps what is connected to steemit tools, or you might get robbed as me.
Now to come to back to the point of those sharks. Im the type of guy who always seek for a positive side in every situation. That means there are people on Steemit who like to troll, or do fake stuff or come with those hack nonsense. And if you ask me, then they are like the sick fish in the ocean, the weak who needs to be eaten, to make sure the eco system stays in the right rotation. And the same thing we can use here, a shark pack to clean up those fish, who are only here to make a mess.
Another point is, i created a group called "POWER", what is for people who have minimal 40 in reputation and is for members who have to be active and want to socialize with others, and who also want to share cryptocurrency trading.

- Asking for votes, followers is forbidden in the group.
- Comments should be about the content of the post, and can't be used to share another link.
So anyone is free to join.
Now please don't get me wrong, i could make a post about how i got robbed and that's it. But i don't believe in complaining, and i don't believe in problems, because to me is everything a challenge. And there for i thought about a way what can be good for the future, instead of complaining about today.
That i lost the 2.7 steemdollars is annoying to know, but is nothing compare to others who had lost more. And there for i thought that those guys should not get away so easy, in fact they should be hunted down, and on the same time joining a group can make sure that some risk are smaller, then being alone here in this big ocean of Steemit. Together we are stronger!
Thanks for reading,upvotes, resteems and follow friends!
