Lots of people talk about Cryptocurrency. It's in the news all the time but who really knows what it is? In this episode, Wolf reports his research and together we dig into it and explain what it's all about.
Show notes:
Take-aways from the episode:
- Crypto is not really anonymous
- Crypto is both regulated and taxed (at least here in the US)
- Legal uses of crypto outweigh illegal uses. This stuff is legitimate. There are dangers, but crypto is something you might legitimately possess
- There are scammers everywhere. Protecting the private key in your wallet is vital to keeping your money: don’t lose it, don’t let it be stolen, don’t give it away. Stealing your private key is much easier than stealing US dollars out of your bank account.
