I was wondering if there is a lawyer or some other suitably qualified person who could answer my question with 100% certainty. Here it is: Although high risk is involved, is it perfectly legal to invest in a HYIP program that pays in crypto? What happens if the company running it turns out to be illegal, would there be any criminal liability?

Hey there, I totally get your concern about the legal implications of investing in a HYIP, especially when it involves crypto.

It's a murky area, and legality can vary depending on jurisdiction. Personally, I'd tread carefully and seek advice from a legal expert if possible.

It's a bit of a gray area, and the rules can be different depending on where you are. Personally, I'd be really careful and maybe even chat with a legal expert just to be safe.Oh, and speaking of investments, have you heard about fx2 funding? They're all about helping traders, even if they don't have a ton of money to start with. Seems like a smarter move than jumping into something risky like a HYIP.By the way, I recently stumbled upon this blog post on how to find supply and demand zones, and it's been helpful for my trading strategy.
