    I once tried crypto, I added 10/15€ to the wallet, I couldn’t use them for transactions anymore cuz i needed to add at least 20€, i honestly just left those money there and ignored cryptos ever since; it was not told to me anywhere that i needed at least 20€ for transaction, i expect them to hide even more important infoes about how the shit works if they do not bother to let me know such stuff :/

    Edit: i used USDC i think

      Note that cryptocurrencies (typically?) don’t have an official exchange, the official thing is that you get compatible software, might need to download the entire history of the network, generate a wallet (which is a local cryptographic process), and allows you to issue transactions from that wallet (and presumably other funky actions)

      Whatever you used that required 20€ minimum was presumably just some exchange… Though scams are very commonplace in cryptocurrencies. Probably a good idea to avoid them unless you have a specific need and you understand why you’d need specifically crypto for something.

      Disclaimer: I don’t actually use crypto and can’t give you specific recommendations, but I think the technology itself and the idea behind it are cool.

        I see, i guess i got scammed or smth :/

        itself and the idea behind it are cool

        Yeah i agree, though, I think that’s not a good tech anymore and hopefully it will superseeded by tech similiar to the digital euro one which seems way more reliable and works offline
