Risk warning: Crypto-assets such as bitcoin are high risk and speculative. Their value can go down as well as up, sometimes sharply, and you could lose all the money you put in. Past performance doesn't necessarily give a guide to the future. Some crypto products and services are unregulated, and even under MiCA crypto is not covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme or the Investor Compensation Scheme. Crypto isn't suitable for everyone, so only use money you can afford to lose.

About this page: Bitcoin.ie is a general information site. We don't sell crypto, hold money for anyone or give personal financial or tax advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy. There are no affiliate links on this site today. We may earn a commission from links to some providers in future; if we do, those links will be labelled and explained in our affiliate disclosure, and it won't change what we write.
