FAQ
Learn Crypto questions, answered
Where should a complete beginner start?
Start by understanding what you are buying and how custody works. Then open an account on a reputable exchange, make a small first purchase, and learn to move it to a wallet you control before investing more.
What is the difference between a coin and a token?
A coin is native to its own blockchain (like BTC on Bitcoin or ETH on Ethereum). A token is built on top of an existing blockchain using smart contracts (like USDC on Ethereum).
Are stablecoins risk-free?
No. Stablecoins aim to track a currency like the US dollar, but they carry issuer, reserve, regulatory and smart-contract risks, and some have lost their peg in the past.
Do I have to pay tax on crypto?
In many countries, selling, swapping or spending crypto can be a taxable event. Rules differ by country, so keep detailed records and check local guidance or a tax professional.
