Yeah we've all got our stories of investment regrets. I have LOTS. One of my worst ones came when I first started investing back in 2013 (age 22). I put £750 in the Royal Mail IPO. Sold way to soon for about £1000. Put that into a company called SyQic (SYQ) which looks undervalued but was actually fraudulent. It was then delisted and I had Zero! I know it's only £1k but for 22 year old me that was thoroughly depressing.
"If it makes u feel any better i lost 130k on AST, i even took out a couple of loans and put it in ast, CEO was an absolute lying scumbag!!" --- Never go into debt to invest in a company. That's a universal truth, and especially true when investing on AIM.
Crypto currencies are a completely unregulated banana economy, and ponzi scheme, pumped by Tethers which are NOT backed $1 = 1 Tether like they claim, and full of exchanges who apparently get "hacked" etc to deny you from withdrawing your money. Full of horror stories. I wouldn't touch any of them with a bargepole.
Energy storage is going to be massive. And Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries will be winner in this race (not lithium, not hydrogen), so it's BMN all the way for me. Have a 100p+ target price over there. DYOR

"Vanadium flow batteries are expected to play a crucial role in supporting the energy transition, with the market for this technology predicted to exceed $4.25 billion by 2028. Suitable fort heavy-duty, stationary, high-throughput applications, they are ideal for storing and dispatching energy on demand from industrial scale solar generation, delivering more flexible, more valuable low-carbon energy projects.
Concerns around lithium-ion safety and raw material sourcing practices also present opportunities for non-flammable, sustainably-sourced alternatives, of which vanadium flow batteries are a leading contender."
