About Crypto Money Basics

Our Mission

Crypto Money Basics exists to provide clear, honest, safety-first education about cryptocurrency as part of personal finance. We believe crypto education should be:

  • Risk-aware: We always discuss the risks and limitations first.
  • Educational only: We never give investment advice, make price predictions, or recommend purchases.
  • Security-focused: We prioritize teaching people how to protect themselves from scams and loss.
  • Accessible: We explain concepts in plain language without unnecessary jargon.
  • Honest: We acknowledge what we don't know and what remains uncertain.

What We Are NOT

To be completely clear:

  • We are NOT financial advisors and do not provide investment advice.
  • We do NOT make price predictions or market forecasts.
  • We do NOT recommend specific cryptocurrencies, exchanges, or wallets.
  • We do NOT use affiliate links or receive commissions from crypto companies.
  • We do NOT promote trading signals, courses, or "get rich quick" schemes.
