                <div class="card">
                    <h3>Fiat On/Off Ramps</h3>
                    <p>Moving between USD and crypto requires a centralized exchange (Coinbase, Kraken) because they have banking relationships. You cannot directly deposit USD into MetaMask or Phantom.</p>
                </div>
                <div class="card">
                    <h3>Network Matters</h3>
                    <p>Always verify the blockchain network when sending crypto. Sending ETH on wrong network = permanent loss. Ethereum tokens use Ethereum network, Solana tokens use Solana network.</p>
                </div>
                <div class="card">
                    <h3>Custodial vs Non-Custodial</h3>
                    <p><strong>Custodial (Coinbase, Robinhood):</strong> They control your crypto<br><strong>Non-Custodial (MetaMask, Phantom):</strong> You control private keys = you own it</p>
                </div>
                <div class="card">
                    <h3>Trading Pairs</h3>
                    <p>Not all cryptos can be directly swapped. Most use USD, USDT, or BTC as intermediate. Example: To go DOGE → SOL, you usually do DOGE → USD → SOL.</p>

                    <li><strong>Double-Check Addresses:</strong> Crypto transactions are irreversible. Wrong address = lost funds</li>

                    <li><strong>Save on Fees:</strong> Use exchange's "Pro" version (Coinbase Pro, Binance.US Pro) for lower fees</li>
                    <li><strong>Withdrawal Limits:</strong> Exchanges have daily withdrawal limits. Increase with KYC verification</li>
                    <li><strong>Tax Tracking:</strong> Every crypto trade is a taxable event. Use CoinTracker or Koinly</li>
                    <li><strong>Security:</strong> Enable 2FA on all exchanges. Use hardware wallet for large amounts</li>
