Protect your crypto by using a combination of easily accessible ‘hot’ wallets and more secure ‘cold’ wallets.

Start small, learn from your experiences, and gradually increase the amount you invest as you become more comfortable and knowledgeable.

Axios drops a bombshell (no pun intended) about the Pentagon’s plans to give Iran a “final blow,” and the crypto market reacts like it just got a whoopee cushion under its seat. Geopolitical tension? More like crypto depression!

The crypto market’s in the spotlight again. Why? Because nearly $16.4 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options are expiring this Friday. Big whoop. Like we haven’t seen this circus before.
