Bitcoin ends the period up 7.91%, but this rise conceals several declines and recoveries.
• The price fell to around 75 026 $ before reaching a peak near $87,363. • At the opening of October 1, it was below that peak. So a gain over the period does not mean a continuous rise. • Your outcome depends on your purchase price. Buying at the high would have produced a different result.
To read this summary, distinguish performance between two dates and the fluctuations experienced during the period.
The security of your account starts with good habits.
• Avoid public Wi-Fi. • Use strong and unique passwords. • Separate your email addresses according to your use cases. • Avoid software and extensions from untrusted sources.
A few simple precautions can make all the difference in protecting your account and assets.
A wallet is not a piggy bank. It’s a system of keys that gives you access to your cryptocurrencies on the blockchain.
THE TWO KEYS OF YOUR WALLET THE PUBLIC ADDRESS
This is your identifier. You can share it safely, like a bank account number. This is how other people can send you crypto or how you receive funds.
THE PRIVATE KEY This is your access. It must NEVER be shared. Anyone who has your private key can access all your cryptocurrencies. Losing your private key means permanently losing access to your funds.
