Learn It · Digital assets
Digital assets are a volatile, evolving category with real technology and real losses. Education here is about mechanics, custody, taxes, and risk — not price predictions.
Digital assets span cryptocurrencies, tokens, stablecoins, tokenized funds, and digital collectibles. They differ enormously in structure, backing, liquidity, and legal treatment.
Custody is where most permanent losses happen. Exchange failures, lost keys, phishing, and fake apps have all destroyed real balances.
Many digital-asset transactions are taxable events, including trades between assets. Recordkeeping is often the biggest practical burden.
Because outcomes are wide and unpredictable, the responsible educational framing is risk sizing: only capital you can fully lose without changing your plan.
The category covers cryptocurrencies, tokens and related on-chain holdings. They are volatile and you can lose some or all of what you put in.
Custody is who controls the keys. Holding your own keys removes counterparty risk but puts loss, theft and backup entirely on you; leaving assets with a platform reverses that trade.
Disposals can create taxable events, and recordkeeping is your responsibility. Rules differ by jurisdiction, so a tax professional should review your reporting.
Position sizing matters more than conviction. Size any holding so that a total loss would not damage the rest of your plan.
