Wallets

Wallets & Security

Wallets & Security explains the part of crypto that has no equivalent in ordinary banking: whoever holds the private key controls the money, and there is usually no one to call if it goes wrong. The section covers what a wallet actually stores (keys, not coins), how seed phrases work, the trade-off between leaving coins on an exchange and holding them yourself, and the common scams and mistakes that empty wallets every day. If you read only one section before owning crypto, read this one.
