Abstract

Throughout the annals of history, governments and their central banks have been alleged to breach trust through the manipulation of funds and the debasement of fiat currencies. Cryptocurrencies, with their underpinning blockchain technology, have revolutionized and democratized the modern finance ecosystem. Their digital, decentralized, and unregulated nature has catalyzed a paradigm shift, disrupting the conventional banking system and empowering individuals with direct and absolute control over their assets. Concurrently, cryptocurrencies can be extremely arduous to wrap one’s head around, especially when shrouded with an intricate web of technobabble and algorithmic complexities. The realm of cryptocurrencies, akin to diverse social media platforms, presents a plethora of formidable challenges and inherent dangers. With the incessant advent of new cryptocurrencies, the proliferation of illicit activities has become rampant, posing a grave threat to the crypto community. Crypto trading/investing entails a high-risk endeavor that could jeopardize the entire investment. This article demystifies the underlying perils that engulf the crypto world.
