Let's talk about private keys and addresses.
Most Bitcoin addresses are generated by hashing a public key or script and then encoding it; common formats start with 1, 3, or bc1.
One point worth thinking about: you can derive an address from a private key, but knowing only the address won't reveal the private key, so it's safe to share your receiving address with others.
To receive coins, you only need to provide an address. Under no circumstances should you provide your private key or seed phrase.
By the way, take a look: $BTC is currently priced at 81968.03, 24h +0.55%.
