Why Security Matters
Crypto is irreversible. Unlike bank transfers, once you send crypto to the wrong address or a scammer, you can't get it back.
⚠️ Real Risk:
Scammers target crypto users because transactions are final. In 2023, over $2 billion was stolen from crypto users worldwide.
Your Responsibility:
- ✓ You control your keys = You control your crypto (and your security)
- ✓ No customer service can reverse a blockchain transaction
- ✓ Education is your best defense against scams and hacks
🇬🇭 Ghana Context:
Mobile Money fraud is common, but crypto scams can be even more devastating. Learning security basics protects your hard-earned money.
