Most People Are Clueless About These 10 Crypto Realities

Bitcoin has a limited supply

There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoins—once they're mined, that's it. Scarcity is built into the code.

The creator of Bitcoin is still anonymous

The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the person or group who created Bitcoin, has never been confirmed.

Lost crypto is gone forever

If you lose access to your private keys or wallet, your crypto is irretrievable. Billions of dollars worth of crypto are permanently lost this way.

$ETH is more than just a currency

It’s a platform for building decentralized apps (dApps), not just a coin for transactions.

Crypto mining uses more power than some countries

Bitcoin mining consumes more electricity annually than entire nations like Argentina or the Netherlands.

There are over 20,000 cryptocurrencies

Not all are legit or useful—many are copycats or scams.

Smart contracts are self-executing

Once conditions are met, they automatically carry out terms without human involvement.

Crypto is taxable

In many countries, including the US and South Africa, crypto gains are subject to capital gains tax.

Some coins are deflationary

Coins like $BNB and $SHIB regularly “burn” tokens to reduce supply and increase value.

You can earn crypto without buying it

Through staking, airdrops, play-to-earn games, or even learning about crypto via platforms like Binance.
