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.
