Crypto Wallets & Security Basics
Beginner’s Guide
Protect Your Crypto Like a Pro
A crypto wallet is your personal bank for storing digital assets.
Types of Wallets:
🔥 Hot Wallets (Online, easy to use) – MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom.
❄️ Cold Wallets (Offline, highly secure) – Ledger, Trezor.
Best Security Practices:
✅ Never share your private keys. Think of them like your ATM PIN—if someone gets them, they can access your funds.
✅ Use hardware wallets for long-term storage. Cold wallets keep your assets offline, away from hackers.
✅ Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). Adds an extra layer of security to your exchange and wallet accounts.
⚠️ Beware of phishing scams! If someone asks for your wallet details—it’s a scam.
