Have a question regarding cryptocurrency
Salam, brothers and sisters! I hope y'all are having a nice day. Long story short, I need a special medication that is hard to find in my country, and is even harder to get without the prescription. As a result, I have to get it online all by myself. The problem is that most of the places that sell the medication require cryptocurrency. I didn't want to get involved with crypto, for I utterly despise the mere concept of it, but there is simply no choice left anymore. It's not like I am going to invest in cryptocurrency, just convert real money to it in order to buy the medicine, that's all. My question is if it's still considered haram to own crypto? On the one hand, money and gold change their value, which is going up and down everyday. On the other hand, since the scheme behind cryptocurrency looks, well, like shenanigans, I am not sure if it's halal to possess it... So, I need an answer. I'd appreciate any insights and opinions regarding this topic!
Note: I need the medication for my mental health and stability. It's not like I am going to die without it, but the lack of it still makes me feel so, so miserable.
