I trust the provider, and it's a small amount I'm willing to risk. Just don't want to throw it away, be frustrated, or get involved with shady people.

Android/Windows user, btw.

For those people who are wondering why I would ask Lemmy strangers about my money decisions, let me tell you my thinking.

I am in the decision making process. One of the things I do when making decisions is gather information from a variety of sources. I then weigh that information as to how useful I find it, research any possible leads, and use it as a launching point for my own investigation. I find that beats the hell out of googling whatever I can think up on my own in a field where I have no experience whatsoever.

For clarification, I'm not telling anyone else how to do anything. You humans live your life however you want, and I respect you as individuals with opinions of your own. Live how you want to live, choose how you want to choose, be how you want to be.

Much peace to all โœŒ๏ธ

Crypto is a capitalism scam, not an anarchist idea. You should read up why governments want to regulate currency.

True anarchism of value is about owning the means of value. The black market is common people eschewing government set value. Crypto is a grift like inflated stocks where the last one holding it is the loser.

Source?

Also ooh scary buzzwords, that mean nothing in this context.

I might if you link me to some recommend links or sources where I can. My understanding is it is mostly to control the money supply.

Most crypto projects are grifts, I acknowledge that. Even so a few cryptos have actual legitimate use cases like monero.

But I don't see how stocks has anything to do with that. Cash is used for MLM scams does that mean I shouldn't use cash for anything?
