It feels silly but I don’t own any BTC

I’m curious to see who else out there is like me. It’s not that I don’t believe in BTC or that I don’t believe it’s going to go up. Quite the opposite really. However I have my holdings in ETH , ADA and another altcoin. It feels counterproductive but...

What’s your biggest regret with crypto?

Aside from not buying in earlier, I had a sizeable amount of matic on Binance. It was locked in for 90 days which gave me around 15% APY. Matic reached its all time high, about 3 times its current value, and my friends were imploring me to sell the c...

I keep hearing (uneducated) people say crypto is mainly used for illicit activities and it should therefore be boycotted. But they forget that the same cash they use is the main choice for funding illegal activities.

I just read an article about bitcoin in a local newspaper. While the newspaper itself was very critical towards bitcoin, the comments were nearly unanimous. „Bitcoin is mainly used for money laundering“, „Crypto is a safe haven for illicit activity“...

It's almost impossible to leave crypto...

I got involved with crypto back in 2013. I've seen Bitcoin go from a hundred bucks to 60k. I saw Ethereum launch and thought I was a financial genius when I sold my stack at $25 per coin a year or so later. Innocent times. Overall crypto has bee...

PSA: Do not trust a “used” or second-hand hardware wallet (e.g. from eBay or Etsy or Craigslist or Amazon or your neighbor’s cousin). Only trust hardware wallets in their original packaging, purchased directly from the manufacturer (like Trezor or Ledger)

The whole point of the hardware wallet is to keep your crypto safe from malicious third parties. Buying a used, potentially compromised device completely defeats this purpose. A coworker of mine just fell victim, and lost all his crypto after buying...
