Is crypto safe?

Last reviewed:

Whether crypto is safe depends on two things: the asset and how you hold it. Many coins and tokens swing in value or fail completely. On top of that, payments usually cannot be reversed, and there is no bank to call if a scammer takes your coins. Good habits, like guarding your keys, lower the risk but never remove it.
