CRYPTO EXPLAINER — WALLETS, EXPLAINED SIMPLY
A WALLET HOLDS KEYS, NOT COINS
PUBLIC ADDRESS
Like your email address — safe to share.

People send coins TO this. Sharing it cannot cost you anything.
PRIVATE KEY
Like your password — never share it. Ever.

Whoever holds this key can move the coins. There is no undo button.
THE COINS LIVE ON THE NETWORK
Your wallet only proves they are yours — and lets you move them.
LOSE THE KEY, LOSE THE COINS. THAT’S THE WHOLE LESSON.
