🔑 1. Blockchain

Think of it like a notebook that records all the transactions.

✅ Once something is written (a transaction), it can’t be changed.

✅ Everyone on the network can see it, so it’s very transparent.

---

🪙 2. Cryptocurrency

This is digital money built on blockchain.

Famous ones include:

Bitcoin (BTC) – the OG, like gold.

Ethereum (ETH) – more advanced, like smart money.

BNB, Solana, XRP, etc. – different purposes, different speeds, different fees.

---

👛 3. Wallet

Your crypto wallet is like your digital bank account.

You need it to store, send, or receive crypto.

Two main types:

Hot Wallet (online – like Trust Wallet, Metamask)

Cold Wallet (offline – more secure, like a USB stick)

> ⚠️ Never share your wallet’s private key or seed phrase – that’s like giving someone your bank PIN.

---

⛽ 4. Gas Fees

This is the fee paid to process a transaction on a blockchain.

On Ethereum, gas fees can be high.

On chains like Solana or BNB Smart Chain, they’re cheaper.

> 💡 Think of gas like airtime, without it you can't send or do anything on the network.

💹 5. Exchange

A crypto exchange is a platform where you buy/sell crypto.

Examples:

Centralized (CEX): Binance, Coinbase, Luno

Decentralized (DEX): PancakeSwap, Uniswap (you need a wallet to use them)

---

📈 6. HODL

Means “Hold On for Dear Life” – a slang term in crypto that means don’t sell, even during market drops.

---

🧠 7. Altcoins

Any crypto that’s not Bitcoin is called an altcoin.

Examples: ETH, ADA, SHIBA, XRP, MATIC, etc.

---

💰 8. Stablecoin

A crypto that stays stable, usually tied to the US dollar.

Examples:

USDT (Tether)

USDC (USD Coin)

Good for saving value without market swings.

---

🦹 9. Rug Pull / Scam

A fake crypto project where the creators run away with your money.

Always:

Research before you invest.

Check if the project has real people, real code, real purpose.
