📚 Lesson 5 of 10
❓ What’s a wallet, and how do you protect your coins from theft?
Your digital coins aren’t “inside” the wallet — they’re recorded on the blockchain itself. What’s in your wallet is the “private key”: the secret signature that proves these addresses belong to you and lets you move what’s on them.
And there are two types of wallets you need to know the difference between:
1) Custodial wallet (on a platform): the platform holds the keys for you — easiest for beginners, but its security depends on the platform’s security.
2) Self-custody wallet: the keys are only with you — full control, and full responsibility too.
Self-custody wallets give you 12 or 24 recovery words — their rules are sacred:
· Write them on paper and keep them in two separate places
· No photos, screenshots, email, or cloud — ever
· Any website or “technical support” that asks for them = 100% a scam, no thinking
For large amounts, there are also cold wallets — devices separate from the internet.
The golden rule: whoever has your recovery words has your money.
📌 Summary: A wallet stores your keys, not your coins — and whoever has the recovery words has the money, so never give them to anyone.
