❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to the most common questions from beginners

Is trading cryptocurrency legal?
The legality of cryptocurrency trading varies widely by jurisdiction. Most developed nations permit trading but impose **Anti-Money Laundering (AML)** and tax regulations. Always ensure you use **licensed or registered exchanges** that comply with the financial regulations in your region.
How should I choose a cryptocurrency exchange?
Prioritize exchanges with **strong security records**, **high trading volume (liquidity)**, and a **clear regulatory status** in your country. For beginners, look for platforms that offer **easy fiat currency (USD, EUR, etc.) on-ramps** and simple user interfaces.
Do I have to pay taxes on crypto profits?
In most countries, crypto profits from sales or trading are considered **capital gains** and are taxable. The rules (e.g., short-term vs. long-term gains, income tax vs. capital gains tax) vary significantly by country. It is crucial to **consult a qualified tax professional** regarding your specific situation and local tax laws.
How can I buy crypto with my local currency (Fiat)?
The safest method is to **register on a regulated, local exchange** (like Binance, Coinbase, or a local compliant CEX), complete **identity verification (KYC)**, and link your bank account. You can then transfer your local currency via bank transfer or credit card to buy crypto like Bitcoin or stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC).
What are the common crypto scams to look out for?
Common scams include **"Pig Butchering" (fake romance/friendship investment schemes)**, **impersonating exchange customer service**, **"guaranteed profit" trading groups**, and **phishing websites**. **Remember: Anyone who promises "guaranteed returns" or asks you to transfer crypto to a private wallet is highly likely a scammer.**
What is a Cold Wallet? Why do I need one?
A **cold wallet** (or hardware wallet) is a physical device (similar to a USB drive) that **stores your private keys offline**. Because it is not connected to the internet, hackers cannot steal your assets remotely, making it the **most secure storage method** for long-term holders of significant assets.
What is the difference between Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)?
**Bitcoin** is primarily seen as "digital gold," serving mainly as a **store of value and a payment network**. **Ethereum** is often called "digital oil," acting as the **fuel** for smart contracts and decentralized applications (like NFTs and DeFi) on the Ethereum blockchain. Their core purposes and use cases are distinct.
