Not Financial Advice

Nothing on WikiHowCrypto constitutes financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Always consult qualified professionals before making financial decisions.

Educational Purpose Only

WikiHowCrypto provides educational content about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Our guides are for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for making investment decisions.

We aim to help users understand how cryptocurrency works, not to recommend specific investments. Any examples, screenshots, or step-by-step instructions are provided purely for educational demonstration.

Investment Risks & Warnings

Cryptocurrency is an extremely high-risk investment class. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Prices can and do fluctuate wildly, and you could lose your entire investment.

Specific Risks Include

Extreme volatility - Prices can swing 20-50% or more in a single day
Total loss of capital - You can lose 100% of your investment
Regulatory uncertainty - Governments may ban, restrict, or heavily regulate crypto
Technical vulnerabilities - Smart contract bugs, exchange hacks, wallet exploits
Scams and fraud - Rug pulls, fake projects, phishing attacks are common
No insurance protection - Unlike banks (FDIC) or investment accounts (SIPC), crypto has no government insurance
Irreversible transactions - Sent to wrong address? Gone forever
Market manipulation - Smaller cap coins are susceptible to pump-and-dump schemes

Only Invest What You Can Afford to Lose

Never invest money you need for living expenses, emergency funds, or critical financial obligations. Crypto should be considered highly speculative.
