Show notes:

Take-aways from the episode:

  • Crypto is not really anonymous
  • Crypto is both regulated and taxed (at least here in the US)
  • Legal uses of crypto outweigh illegal uses.  This stuff is legitimate.  There are dangers, but crypto is something you might legitimately possess
  • There are scammers everywhere.  Protecting the private key in your wallet is vital to keeping your money: don’t lose it, don’t let it be stolen, don’t give it away.  Stealing your private key is much easier than stealing US dollars out of your bank account.
