Ok, calling all the crypto people to help, I know nothing. Looking at my stupid robinhood app, that I have like one share of Ford in that I forgot about a few years ago, and looking at Monaco and crypto.com as an alternative, any thoughts on where to start (like, $500 investment maybe, that's -all- I can really afford to risk on anything, so not going much higher). @freemo ? Anyone?
@freemo @Coyote If you asked me about cryptocurrency, I would say nothing about making an investment. But if you want to use a currency, I can say something about that.
@likho @freemo Sure, I'll listen. I like to get as much information as I can before I do the opposite and lose all my money. LOL
@freemo @Coyote Your private key should be top secret. You should never share it with anyone. Whenever you enter anything like a seed phrase or a password, you should be doing, so on a secure system. This actually disqualifies a lot of computing devices such as smartphones and modern PCs. For example, a DMA engine on most intel CPUs past 2006 should be considered insecure.

Most don't worry about this, but it's something you should be aware of because the NSA's hacking tools were leaked back in 2016.

@likho

Or just use a hardware wallet, this addresses that problem and allows you to safely store and transfer money even on insecure systems.
