Let’s talk about private keys and addresses.
Most Bitcoin addresses are generated by hashing and then encoding a public key or script. Common formats start with 1, 3, or bc1.
To be honest, I hadn’t paid attention to this before: avoid exporting your private key if you can. If you really need to back it up, don’t copy it into a note-taking app connected to the internet.
Related coin: $BTC is trading at 81599.51, down 1.05% over 24 hours.
It’s safer to keep large amounts in a wallet you control offline, and use only a small amount for everyday transactions.
