🔑 Basic Concepts in CryptoSecurity101
1. Private Key
It is the main password to your wallet. Whoever has the key owns the coins. Never share your private key.
2. Wallets
Hot Wallet: Connected to the internet, like MetaMask or Trust Wallet. Easy to use but less secure.
Cold Wallet: Not connected to the internet, like Ledger or Trezor. More secure but less convenient.
3. Seed Phrase
A phrase of 12 or 24 words that represents a backup for your wallet. Keep it in a safe place, do not store it digitally or share it with anyone.
4. Phishing
Fake websites or messages that try to trick you into revealing your information. Always verify the link before entering.
5. Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Adds an extra layer of security when logging in. Use an app like Google Authenticator.
