Is using crypto complicated?

Not really! It might seem tricky at first, but using crypto is as easy as using a regular mobile app. Creating an account in a crypto app or exchange is super simple nowadays — plus, there are tons of detailed video guides online to walk you through the process.

Once you have a crypto wallet, you can send, receive, and store coins. Some apps even let you buy stuff or trade crypto with just a couple taps. The most important thing is to be careful: if you lose access to your wallet or send coins to the wrong address, getting them back is nearly impossible.

What types of cryptocurrency are there?

There are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there, but here are the three most important ones you should know as a beginner:

• Bitcoin (BTC) – The first and most well-known cryptocurrency. It’s often called “digital gold” because of its high value and global popularity.
• Ethereum (ETH) – The second biggest crypto, widely used to build apps, games, and other blockchain projects.
• Tether (USDT) – A stablecoin tied to the US dollar. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, its value doesn’t really fluctuate, making it ideal for simple transactions.

Pros and cons of using crypto

One of the biggest advantages of crypto is how fast it is — you can send money anywhere in the world within minutes. Plus, you’re in full control of your funds, no banks involved. A lot of people also see crypto as an investment, hoping the value will go up over time.

But there are downsides too. Crypto can be volatile — prices can skyrocket, but also crash hard. That doesn’t apply to stablecoins like USDT, though. So if you’re only buying CS2 skins with crypto, USDT is your safest option.
