How to get started in crypto without getting scammed
In short: Use a platform registered with the authorities, secure your account (two-factor authentication), start with a small amount you can afford to lose and stick to the most established coins. Cryptos can lose more than 70% in a few months.
Before buying
Understand that most cryptos' value depends mainly on trust and demand: there is no company or profit behind them. They can soar or collapse.
Where to buy
Many countries now regulate crypto platforms (in the EU, the MiCA regulation). Check that the platform is registered with your regulator and be wary of unknown platforms recommended by strangers.
Security
Two-factor authentication, a unique password, never share your recovery phrase. For large amounts, some people use a hardware wallet.
