A crypto wallet does not store money like a bank app. It stores private keys — secret codes that prove ownership on the blockchain.

If you don’t control your private keys, you don’t control your crypto. Exchanges hold keys on your behalf, which means you trust them completely.

When exchanges freeze withdrawals or get hacked, users learn this lesson the hard way. “Not your keys, not your coins” exists for a reason.

Self-custody wallets give freedom but also responsibility. Lose the keys, and no customer support can recover your funds.

Crypto rewards those who understand responsibility. The wallet is not just a tool — it’s your identity in the decentralized world.
