Did you know...
that cryptocurrencies are not stored in wallets?
If crypto wallets aren't storage spaces, then what are they?
A crypto wallet is just an application that stores your private and public keys so that you can be able to access your crypto tokens in the blockchain.
The private key is secret, and that is why we're always asked not to reveal our private keys. They are, in fact, PRIVATE, literally.
They're the gateway to our funds. Public keys are literally, PUBLIC.
They are your wallet addresses, so someone that wants to send funds to you will need your public keys…in other words, your wallet address.
