Introduction
In the cryptocurrency world, you are your own bank. This means the security of your funds depends entirely on how you manage your private keys, wallets, and backups. Unlike traditional bank accounts, there’s no “forgot password” button—losing your wallet credentials could mean losing your funds permanently.
In this module, we’ll explore what wallets really are, the difference between private and public keys, how custodial and non-custodial wallets work, and how to store your crypto with maximum safety. We’ll also cover common security mistakes and practical hygiene tips so you can avoid becoming another cautionary tale.
