Episode 2: Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, and the Blockchain
Manage episode 483415449 series 3660315
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.
