I’ve thought of it but was worried of losing my benefits
I'm in Australia. I'm on disability pension. I have many disabilities and a brain tumour. I work part-time (who could afford not to). It's a struggle stress as we know plays a huge part in control. Our centrelink (social security) allows a certain amount then takes 50c in the $ plus what tax takes. Contact your social security they'll help.

I agree with Rusti, checking with the Social Security Office would be the safest way to go. I have heard once ss benefits are disrupted it's quite hard to get them back.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, check with Social Security Income. I am not sure on how you are allowed to use them along with SSI. I think it is just like if you are collecting SSI and working part time. There might be a reduction on your SSI while using Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin. With SSI not keeping up with the rising costs, it sounds like a great idea using them. But check with Social Security first. I don't think the laws have been revised since Cryptocurrency or Bitcoin came along.
