Beware Of Hardware Wallet Phishing Scams
Entering the exciting world of Bitcoin can feel like discovering a treasure chest – except instead of gold coins, you have digital ones secured within a “hardware wallet” or, as some call it, a “signing device“.

Inscriptions Taking Down Chains
Inscriptions and the Bitcoin spot ETF approval have been hot topics in recent months, with both deployments splitting investor opinions and inciting fierce debate online.
