Brits are being warned they risk losing all of their money if they invest in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Although Binance.US is growing fast and is now considered to be one of the top exchanges in the United States, it doesn’t measure up to its parent company, Binance.
Steep rises and unexpected dives in the price of cryptocurrencies are relatively common. As the market stabilises, the volatility has slowly decreased, but irrationality will always be part of the trading game.
Yet some crypto watchers have raised red flags over SafeMoon’s unusual structure. It charges a 10% fee to buy tokens and another 10% to sell -- almost unheard of in the digital currency world. Half of these fees are paid to owners as an incentive to keep holding and the other half goes into a liquidity pool controlled by the developers. SafeMoon calls itself a DeFi token, or one that uses decentralized finance to govern functions through software, but it has a chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Critics also worry about the discretionary nature of the “manual” coin burns used to adjust its circulation.
Some experts say this is high risk as SafeMoon’s success relies heavily on more and more people buying the currency to keep the price up.
It is a meme coin in the same sense as Shiba Inu, but has failed to live up to its promises. SafeMoon is the perfect example of why having a product first is what matters. Investors bought into the token thanks to its promises, and now the token is plummeting. It is a story warning investors of falling for grandiosity.
But to understand the dynamic that led to this year’s depressing year for crypto, we actually should start a few years before 2018. In bitcoin’s early days, Mt. Gox was the go-to service for handling transactions. Then, in 2014, it halted transactions and slowly copped to a crypto-hack to the tune of $473 million, the biggest hack of its kind at the time, and it gave many people pause. But it was still early enough for people to believe that the blockchain system was still getting all the technical kinks out.
The SafeMoon crypto wallet has been drumming up excitement among users because the team has been adding support for more coins. SafeMoon’s Karony revealed that the wallet would see additional listings this week and asked his followers which coins they would like to see.
However, you’ll likely misplace your virtual wallet or lose your coins. There have also been thefts from the websites that exist to store cryptocurrency on the internet. Because the value of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin can fluctuate dramatically, some people are hesitant to convert “real” money into Bitcoin.

SafeMoon was created by Karony and two of his fellow developers from TANO, a Provo, Utah-based video game studio with a bare-bones website. It launched in March with a big social media push, including a giveaway of 100 billion tokens (then trading for less than $0.00000001 each) for “lucky winners” who followed @safemoon, liked and retweeted then tagged three friends.

If you already have a wallet on the Binance Smart Chain, getting Safemoon is as simple as exchanging it for any other token in your wallet on a decentralized exchange (DEX) such as PancakeSwap.
