I trust the provider, and it’s a small amount I’m willing to risk. Just don’t want to throw it away, be frustrated, or get involved with shady people.

Android/Windows user, btw.

For those people who are wondering why I would ask Lemmy strangers about my money decisions, let me tell you my thinking.

I am in the decision making process. One of the things I do when making decisions is gather information from a variety of sources. I then weigh that information as to how useful I find it, research any possible leads, and use it as a launching point for my own investigation. I find that beats the hell out of googling whatever I can think up on my own in a field where I have no experience whatsoever.

For clarification, I’m not telling anyone else how to do anything. You humans live your life however you want, and I respect you as individuals with opinions of your own. Live how you want to live, choose how you want to choose, be how you want to be.

Much peace to all ✌️

    1. Open crypto app on phone

    2. Point phone at QR code

    3. Press okay

    Watching people bitching and whine about technology like crypto and AI while I just use it like a normal human that’s uses technology to make my life easy is fun. My life is getting easier, if you learned how to use technology instead of bitch moan and drag your heels. You know old people that can’t send a email? You’ll be an old person that can’t pay for your food in 30 years.

        You have to choose a bank, then you have to pick which credit card you want based on credit limits rewards and invest rates. Either go to that bank or install their app to activate your credit card. Then you have to store those numbers which are visible right on the cards and transmitted wireless safely(which is not possible), figure out how to pay off your credit card. Make sure there aren’t any fraudulent charges, double, fees etc. And each of those steps has a dozen subsets, and requires trust in an industry that is constantly wait, never lies to people.

        You sound like a boomer that still uses cash and doesn’t know your phone has been able to be your credit card for the last decade.

            I buy street food with bitcoin using 3 taps on my phone in 30s, but go ahead and continue your anti technology theater. Nobody actually using modern tech bitches and whines like those opposed to it. Bye bye boomer.

              So you either pay an extra 20$ in fees to expedite the transaction, you’re not actually using bitcoin but some bank equivalent where you never actually hold your own keys, or that 30s is impossible in my experience.

      don’t forget the part after “open crypto app” where you find out your favorite coin crashed overnight and you now have 29 cents
