TikTok is really creating problems in this space.

I'm not opposed to learning crypto. I've even attempted it a few times and given up because there's just TOO MUCH. Buy it here. Transfer it there. Move it over there. Convert this. Make sure they have the right type. Make sure you have the right type. And constantly it's "if you send it to the wrong place you will never get it back." I understand that some day that will be my only option and then I will find someone to walk me through it. And, that is why I'm here. To learn.
I feel your pain. I’m going through the same thing. If I’m going to continue with this potentially dangerous “hobby,” then I will need to eventually have to learn crypto. Unfortunately, with my level 1 autism, crypto makes my head explode.🤯 I know it’s easy for people to label people like us as “stupid,” but it’s not that simple. Everyone is wired differently and we all process things differently. For example, I can create incredibly complicated animations using the extremely difficult Adobe software After Effects, but most people can’t. But I don’t think they’re “stupid.”

Here’s a warning for those who are crypto inept: If you use a buyer (middle person who takes care of crypto for you), make sure that their transaction is guaranteed. I went through a buyer on a well-known chat community who had stellar reviews to purchase my first gray order. Just my luck, the first batch I get has a bug (or stopper chunk) in one of the vials. I wrote to the buyer but they chose to ignore me. I mentioned it on their chat site, but was rebuked by one of the moderators saying that there was no proof that it was their product. (Even though I posted pics.) Newbie mistake on my part because I didn’t think to ask if the buyer’s “service” was guaranteed. So now I’m hesitant to use anything from the kit, even with filtering. Lesson learned!

Moral of the story: We are all going to have to learn crypto or find another hobby.😖

Something to remember is that even without a middle man, things just.... Go wrong, sometimes. The middle man can only do so much when the vendor themselves are shady!

Tips for using a middle man like that:

Vet the middle man. See what people have to say about them. Figure out how buys have gone in the past. If something goes wrong, do they argue with the vendor for you, or is this a take it or leave it situation?

Vet the vendor the middle man is buying from. Do THEY honor guarantees if the middle man is willing to do the leg work of talking to them? Is the vendor themselves reputable?

Keep in mind- anyone can go bad at any point. You're adding an extra place where the process can fail!

ASD might make it harder, but we have plenty of members on the spectrum who have learned. You just need to find the right guide. 🫶🏼

(I have also not taken the leap to crypto yet, both because the laws in my location are fucky and because taxes scare me.)

The funny thing is that the middle man had phenomenal reviews on the chat site. Like, there’s a whole topic created about them. And they were highly recommended by many people here. And the vendor is so famous they have their own chat community/forum. So I thought I had vetted them. But to be fair, I don’t really expect the middle man to go through all that hassle over one vial from a first-time buyer. It was a newbie fuckup on my part. I learned my lesson. It’s just funny that my very first order was tainted. Welcome to the World of Gray! 🫠

Yes, I realize that I can eventually learn crypto, but it’s going to be difficult because there is literally no room for error, as @christa_channing pointed out. Her description was brilliant:

Buy it here. Transfer it there. Move it over there. Convert this. Make sure they have the right type. Make sure you have the right type. And constantly it's "if you send it to the wrong place you will never get it back.”
