There is the risk that cryptocurrencies get outlawed, that exchanges get hacked or that you remove
your cryptocurrency key.
In keeping with the Jaxx philosophy,
all cryptocurrency keys are created and held on your local device.
You can also protect yourself with a paper wallet, keeping
your cryptocurrency keys in written form.
That's why it's safest to store
your cryptocurrency key privately, either on a Ledger wallet, or a piece of paper — and this advice applies to both during the fork and during stable times.
Cryptocurrencies are a high - risk investment because there is the risk that cryptocurrencies get outlawed, that you lose
your cryptocurrency key, or that exchanges get hacked.
