Seriously (why are you downvoted?). How do you even go about refunds or fraudulent charges in crypto? Are you essentially powerless against scammers and thieves/hackers?
Apparently private wallets are not safe as those are seemingly hacked most commonly, every virus and crack looks for it. Online exchanges get constantly hacked and online wallets have a tendency to randomly rug pull.
Entire crypto scene is basically banking but "we got blackjack and hookers so we are better"
It's gambler mentality. Maybe you might make some money, maybe you'll lose it all.
