What's Shy?
Shy is a digital token that helps people exchange value online without needing a bank. Imagine trading your favorite toys with friends, but instead of toys, you use Shy tokens. It exists to make online transactions easier and faster, solving the problem of slow and expensive traditional methods. Shy allows people to send and receive value globally, like sending a digital postcard that arrives instantly.
How can I buy Shy?

Why do people buy Shy?
People buy Shy for its practical uses, like sending value quickly across borders or using it in apps that accept Shy. It's part of a growing digital ecosystem where more services and platforms are adopting it. Shy can also be used for participating in decentralized applications, offering a new way to interact with technology. However, it's important to understand that its value can change, and it's not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Things to know before buying Shy in the United States
In the United States, cryptocurrencies like Shy are legal but regulated. You must complete KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks when buying. Be aware of tax implications; any gains from selling Shy or income from activities like staking may be subject to capital gains tax. It's crucial to keep records of your transactions for tax reporting purposes.
What are other ways to own Shy?
You can obtain Shy without buying it by participating in airdrops, where tokens are distributed for free to promote a project. Some platforms offer Learn-and-Earn programs, rewarding you with Shy for completing educational tasks. Participating in network activities like staking or providing liquidity can also earn you Shy. These methods require effort and understanding of the risks involved, such as market volatility.
How can I store my Shy?
To keep your Shy safe, you can use custodial wallets, where a service holds your tokens, or non-custodial wallets, where you control them. Hot wallets are online and convenient but less secure, while cold wallets are offline and more secure. Always back up your wallet and keep recovery phrases safe. Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication to protect your assets from loss or theft.
