Although cryptocurrency and blockchain have become ubiquitous in the news cycle, there is often a misunderstanding or lack of understanding of how cryptocurrencies work. While people often want to get in on the crypto boom due to the positive portrayal, there has been less information on the potential risks of cryptocurrency. These risks distinguish it from other potential investments, causing many individuals to take on risks they would not have signed up for.
