I also struggle a bit with not being able to tell how sketchy some digital websites are. Sometimes, I try making further research about them, but little is revealed, since using crypto as money in the physical world hasn't been around that much. But it's really great to bridge the gap between the two, it's like a glimpse of what may become common in the near future.
Yeah same it's not easy to tell with some sites. I’m at least using my tools like brave browser, information protection strategies etc to minimize potential issues but only time will tell if it works.
It’s interesting to see it as a glimpse in the future though I hope to use a faster/less expensive coin like litecoin for these things. This one didn’t let me though but I’m sure in the future it will be easier to do that.
