  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video emphasizes the importance of protecting digital assets through cryptocurrency wallets, particularly cold storage hardware wallets. It acknowledges the complexities and overwhelming jargon associated with setting up cryptocurrency wallets, such as private keys, wallet addresses, and blockchain technology. The video aims to simplify these concepts and make viewers comfortable with transferring their crypto from exchanges to their own wallets, while also highlighting the speculative and potentially lucrative nature of early adoption in cryptocurrency.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The video explains cryptocurrency wallets, comparing them to traditional wallets but clarifying that cryptocurrencies exist on a blockchain, not physically within wallets. It describes how wallets create and store private and public keys, interact with blockchains to monitor balances, and enable sending and receiving digital assets. An analogy with traditional online banking is used to explain public and private keys. The video introduces the concept of different wallet types, specifically mentioning sponsors like I Trust Capital and Tangem Wallet, recommending cold storage as the best long-term solution.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The speaker details the distinction between hot wallets, which store private keys online, and cold wallets, which store them offline. Hot wallets, connected to the internet, carry higher risks of being compromised. Cryptocurrency exchanges are highlighted as insecure for long-term storage due to their vulnerability to hacks and lack of crypto backing. Cold wallets, being offline, are presented as the safest secure method for handling significant cryptocurrency investments. The importance of only purchasing hardware wallets from official manufacturers is stressed.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:24:42

    The video demonstrates setting up a Trust Wallet as a hot wallet, emphasizing the importance of securing the seed phrase, as these seed phrases are the key to accessing crypto funds on the blockchain. It showcases a scenario where a wallet can be compromised if the seed phrase is leaked. The video concludes by highlighting the importance of having a hardware wallet for maximum security and discusses diverse wallets that do not use seed phrases, suggesting diversification in wallet types to minimize risks.

Mind Map

よくあるèłȘ敏

  • What is a cryptocurrency wallet?

    A cryptocurrency wallet is a software that creates and stores private and public keys, interacts with the blockchain, and allows sending and receiving digital assets.

  • How do cryptocurrency wallets work?

    They work by storing your public and private keys, which allow you to access, send, and receive your digital assets on the blockchain.

  • What are the types of cryptocurrency wallets?

    There are two main types: hot wallets, which store keys online, and cold wallets, which store keys offline.

  • Why is it unsafe to store crypto on exchanges?

    Exchanges are online and are more vulnerable to hacks. They may also have insufficient funds to cover all users' assets if everyone withdraws simultaneously.

  • What is the difference between public and private keys?

    A public key is like a bank account number that others can use to send you crypto, while a private key is like a password that allows you to send crypto.

  • How can you protect your private key or seed phrase?

    Keep it secret, secure it offline, and never share it. Losing it or having it stolen may result in losing your funds.

  • What's the safest way to store cryptocurrencies?

    Using cold (hardware) wallets is the safest method as they store private keys offline, making them less vulnerable to cyber attacks.

  • What happens if someone gets your seed phrase?

    They can access all your cryptocurrencies and transfer them out of your wallet, effectively stealing them.

  • Why is it important to diversify wallet types?

    Diversifying helps to mitigate the risk of losing all funds if one wallet type is compromised.

  • What should you consider when choosing a wallet?

    You should consider security features, ease of use, compatibility with cryptocurrencies, and whether the wallet's private keys are exposed.

    so what is a cryptocurrency wallet? 🔒 When we  hear the word wallet, we immediately think of
  • 00:02:24
    the pocket or purse accessories that hold our  cash đŸ’”, IDs, credit, and debit cards 💳 However,
  • 00:02:29
    unlike cash, digital currencies are not stored  in a specific location and do not exist in
  • 00:02:34
    physical form. Instead, cryptocurrencies, account  balances, and transactions exist on computers...
  • 00:02:40
    a network of computers 🖧 using a blockchain  or similar technological foundation. So what
  • 00:02:46
    is blockchain? ⛓ Blockchain is just a fancy term  that describes a running ledger of transactions.
  • 00:02:52
    Without losing sight of this video, if you would  like to learn more about blockchain and why it was

    developed, you can check out my video guide for  beginners by clicking on the link above đŸ–Č ⬆ Nice,
  • 00:03:00
    back to wallets a cryptocurrency wallet has  software that creates and stores your private
  • 00:03:06
    and public Keys interacts with the blockchain  monitors your cryptocurrency balances and allows
  • 00:03:11
    you to send and receive digital assets so to send  receive store and monitor your cryptocurrency
  • 00:03:17
    balances and other digital assets like nfts you  need to use a cryptocurrency wallet and what's
  • 00:03:23
    funny is we shouldn't really use the word wallet  when talking about crypto because a wallet in
  • 00:03:28
    the traditional sense makes us think of our cash  actually physically inside of our wallet or our
  • 00:03:33
    credit cards actually inside of our wallet while  a cryptocurrency wallet is more accurately a key
  • 00:03:38
    to access our phones because our cryptocurrencies  and digital assets are not actually inside of our
  • 00:03:43
    wallets they are on the blockchain which is a  running Ledger of transactions distributed all
  • 00:03:48
    around the world so in reality our crypto is  basically assigned to our wallet's private key
  • 00:03:53
    and our wallet gives us access to the crypto and  the ability to view our balances send and receive
  • 00:03:59
    crypto stake it interact with smart contracts Etc  awesome hello I'm cryptocasian in this video we
  • 00:04:05
    are going to explore how cryptocurrency wallets  work the different types of cryptocurrency wallets
  • 00:04:09
    available on the market and why it's important to  use multiple cryptocurrency wallets to diversify
  • 00:04:14
    the risks associated with investing in new  speculative technology let's hit it [Music]

    any special offers they have for us so how do  cryptocurrency wallets work we are going to go
  • 00:05:19
    through a very simplified analogy to help us wrap  our heads around around how cryptocurrency wallets
  • 00:05:24
    work together please note this is not exactly how  the technology works it's just an analogy so a
  • 00:05:30
    simplified way to understand how cryptocurrency  wallets work is to consider how your traditional
  • 00:05:34
    online banking applications work imagine your  bank is the blockchain your bank account number
  • 00:05:39
    is the public key your crypto wallet is your  online banking app and your online banking app
  • 00:05:45
    login credentials are your private key so your  bank records and tracks all the transactions
  • 00:05:51
    going to and from your bank account just like the  blockchain records and tracks all the transactions
  • 00:05:56
    going to and from your public key using your  online banking app you are able to check the
  • 00:06:02
    balance of your bank account and send or receive  transactions just like a cryptocurrency wallet
  • 00:06:07
    allows you to check your balances and send or  receive crypto however in order to log in to your
  • 00:06:13
    online banking app you need to first type in your  username and password which is like using your
  • 00:06:19
    private key to access your cryptocurrency wallet a  public key is similar to your bank account number
  • 00:06:24
    in that if you provide anyone with your bank  account number they can send you funds keep in
  • 00:06:30
    mind that public keys are also commonly known as  wallet addresses however having your bank account
  • 00:06:35
    number alone would not allow someone to take funds  from your account this is also how a public key
  • 00:06:41
    works people can send cryptocurrency to you using  your public key or public wallet address but they
  • 00:06:48
    cannot take funds from you using your public key  on the flip side giving your online banking app
  • 00:06:54
    login credentials to someone would allow them to  send funds from your bank account to somewhere
  • 00:07:00
    else this is similar to a private key if you give  someone your private key they can access your
  • 00:07:06
    cryptocurrency and send it somewhere else unlike  traditional banking if you give away your private
  • 00:07:12
    key and your funds go missing you will likely  not be able to recover them this is why it's
  • 00:07:17
    so important to keep your private key private and  before sending and receiving cryptocurr currency
  • 00:07:22
    you must first make sure you are sending the same  type of currency to a wallet address or public
  • 00:07:29
    key that supports that particular cryptocurrency  for example you can only send Bitcoin to bitcoin
  • 00:07:35
    addresses and you can only receive ether  from either addresses and the simplest way
  • 00:07:39
    to understand why Bitcoin addresses only work with  Bitcoin ether only works on ethereum Solana only
  • 00:07:44
    works on Solana Etc is to think of them like  software applications on Mac versus PC versus
  • 00:07:51
    Linux or like Apple versus Android so they are  just different Tech foundations using different
  • 00:07:57
    code which is why Apple apps can't be installed on  Android devices there has to be an Android version
  • 00:08:03
    of the app to be supported on Android cool so if  you have another person's public key or address
  • 00:08:10
    you can easily send them some corresponding  cryptocurrency and vice versa and when
  • 00:08:15
    cryptocurrencies are sent or received no actual  physical or digital exchange occurs between the
  • 00:08:21
    wallets remember cryptocurrency wallets interact  with the blockchain and the blockchain is where
  • 00:08:27
    all cryptocurrency transactions are logged and  it's also where balances are tracked so just to
  • 00:08:32
    recap a cryptocurrency wallet has software that  interacts with the blockchain stores your public
  • 00:08:38
    and private Keys monitors your cryptocurrency  balances and allows you to send and receive
  • 00:08:43
    cryptocurrency nice what are the different types  of cryptocurrency wallets there are many different
  • 00:08:49
    types of cryptocurrency wallets to choose from and  each of them have their own pros and cons let's
  • 00:08:54
    break down crypto wallets into two categories  hot and cold a hot wallet creates and stores
  • 00:08:59
    your private Keys online while cold wallets create  and store your private Keys offline so examples of
  • 00:09:06
    hot law include desktop or mobile app software  these wallets operate on your computers and cell
  • 00:09:12
    phones which are connected to the internet so  when you set up these wallets your private key is
  • 00:09:17
    generated on a hot device which just means it's  connected to the internet which could be more
  • 00:09:22
    vulnerable to being compromised especially with  AI scamming tactics becoming more sophisticated
  • 00:09:28
    Etc however by far the least secure way to store  large investments in cryptocurrency for the long
  • 00:09:34
    term is on an exchange why well first of all it's  online therefore hot therefore more vulnerable to
  • 00:09:42
    hacks and on top of it cryptocurrency exchanges  are huge targets for hackers since obviously
  • 00:09:48
    there's a ton of potential crypto that can be  stolen with any wallet we manage on our own
  • 00:09:52
    a hacker has no idea how much potential funds  there are to steal while crypto exchanges are
  • 00:09:58
    a guaranteed Gold Mine of swords and second of  all due to lack of transparency and regulation
  • 00:10:03
    there is an artificial supply of crypto meeting  real demand because exchanges lend out crypto
  • 00:10:09
    you stake infinitely between other people and  exchanges which basically means that one ether
  • 00:10:14
    you are looking at on your account could also be  the same either five other people on The Exchange
  • 00:10:20
    are looking at meaning cryptocurrency exchanges  don't actually have all the crypto backed one to
  • 00:10:25
    one for all of their customers so if there was a  massive run on exchanges where everyone wanted to
  • 00:10:30
    move their Bitcoin and ether to their own wallet  there would not be enough to go around like we saw
  • 00:10:35
    with FTX there are also some bad players out there  gambling with our funds we leave on the exchange
  • 00:10:41
    and can go bust and third of all as we see with  coinbase regulatory bodies like the SEC can go
  • 00:10:47
    after them sue them demonetize them by forcing  them to de-list a significant amount of crypto
  • 00:10:53
    which would destroy their profits which puts  them at risk of going under as we've discussed
  • 00:10:58
    at length on the channel exchanges need to be used  as a tool to exchange Fiat for crypto crypto for
  • 00:11:04
    crypto and crypto to Fiat not for storing crypto  Investments we need to be transferring any crypto
  • 00:11:09
    we want to exchange to them and when we are done  transferring our crypto back to our own wallets
  • 00:11:16
    sweet now let's learn about the safest most ideal  way to store significant amounts of cryptocurrency
  • 00:11:22
    for the long term cold wallets cold wallets are  also known as Hardware wallets Hardware wallets
  • 00:11:28
    are designed to safely create and store your  private key offline and when sending receiving or
  • 00:11:34
    managing funds you will need to use the hardware  wallet device and go through more security steps
  • 00:11:39
    in general which makes your funds less vulnerable  to theft by creating and storing private keys
  • 00:11:45
    with Hardware wallets your funds are safer from  hackers and other potential security issues that
  • 00:11:50
    hot software wallets are more likely to experience  so store your cryptocurrency on a hardware wallet
  • 00:11:55
    is the safest most secure way to manage your  funds so if you scroll down to the description
  • 00:12:00
    area below you can access the correct and official  site of my recommended Hardware wallets note there
  • 00:12:05
    are two important things you need to know about  buying a hardware wallet first only buy Hardware
  • 00:12:10
    wallets from the real manufacturer do not buy used  Hardware wallets and do not buy them from other
  • 00:12:16
    other companies or individuals this is because  hackers may buy a hardware wallet tamper with
  • 00:12:21
    the software and resell the Hacked device to steal  your phone and second as with all crypto related
  • 00:12:27
    activities make sure you double and triple  check the URL you are accessing to buy the
  • 00:12:32
    hardware wallet make sure the address is correct  and that it has an SSL or secure sockets layer
  • 00:12:38
    which uses the https protocol instead of HTTP  there are a ton of phishing scams online that
  • 00:12:45
    will pretend to be the real website you intend  to access and if you access a fake website you
  • 00:12:50
    may lose your funds or receive a hacked wallet so  again if you're interested in my recommendations
  • 00:12:55
    using the links below get you where you want to  go safely all while supporting the channel since
  • 00:13:00
    Ledger's announcement of their recover Services  software update to their devices tangent wallet
  • 00:13:05
    an alternative that never reveals our private key  or seed to anyone has been blowing up like I said
  • 00:13:11
    there is a wait for the next batch of wallets so  make sure to get your spa online earlier rather
  • 00:13:15
    than later it looks like a credit card uses  the highest standard of security among crypto
  • 00:13:20
    wallets known as eal 6 Plus which is a level  of protection used by NASA and in passports the
  • 00:13:26
    source code for tangem's mobile app is all open  and available for review on their GitHub which is
  • 00:13:32
    important for full transparency to ensure there  are no backdoors built in and that funds can be
  • 00:13:37
    accessed if the company shut down for any reason  instead of a seed phrase as the only way to back
  • 00:13:42
    up our crypto wallets backup copies of the wallet  are created and used on other tantrum cards that
  • 00:13:48
    we encrypt with our own unique access code we  create breach card also note the pricing for this

  • 00:14:23
    protects our private Keys differently than Ledger  trezor and other wallets that use seed phrases by
  • 00:14:29
    clicking on the link above since the vast majority  of cryptocurrency wallets use seed phrases to back
  • 00:14:34
    up our wallets and access our phones at large  while we wait for the next batch of tangent
  • 00:14:38
    wallets or wait for whatever Hardware wallet  we've chosen to go with like Ledger treasure
  • 00:14:43
    BC Vault to arrive let's create our own hot wallet  together using a mobile app called trust wallet it
  • 00:14:49
    transfers some crypto to it get ready we are about  to have the Eureka moment we've all been waiting
  • 00:14:54
    for about what happens if your phone dies or if  your Hardware wallet breaks or if it's stolen
  • 00:15:00
    Etc when it uses a seed phrase as backups let's  in it how to set up your own crypto wallet in
  • 00:15:07
    this video we are going to set up the trust wallet  together on our mobile device step by step open
  • 00:15:12
    the app store on your phone and type in trust  wallet and click download and install it then
  • 00:15:18
    open the app tap on create new wallet tap to check  the box agreeing to the terms of service next we
  • 00:15:24
    are going to create a passcode to add an extra  layer of security when using the app then confirm
  • 00:15:29
    the passcode by entering it again and now we are  going to back up our secret phrase which is the
  • 00:15:35
    master key to your wallet and anyone that has it  can access your crypto so never share it which is
  • 00:15:41
    why I recommend backing it up manually versus to  your iCloud as it could pose more vulnerabilities
  • 00:15:47
    if your iCloud is compromised so we are going to  tap backup manually on the next screen the app
  • 00:15:52
    gives us more information stating this secret  phrase is the master key to your wallet tap on
  • 00:15:58
    all check boxes to confirm that you understand the  importance of your seed phrase tap the first box
  • 00:16:03
    that read if I lose my secret phrase my funds will  be lost forever tap the second box that reads if
  • 00:16:10
    I expose or share my secret phrase to anyone my  funds can get stolen and tap the third box that
  • 00:16:15
    reads trust wallet support will never reach out to  ask for it then tap continue and here are the 12
  • 00:16:21
    words you need to write down in order and secure  to protect any crypto use into it after these next
  • 00:16:28
    few steps it will become clear how our crypto is  on the blockchain and how private keys or recovery
  • 00:16:34
    phrases are merely keys to access our funds that  are on the blockchain and how anyone with these
  • 00:16:39
    words can steal all of your funds if you do not  properly secure these words these 12 words are
  • 00:16:44
    the keys to your wallet literally by memorizing  these 12 words you can carry access to hundreds
  • 00:16:51
    and thousands millions and billions of dollars  worth of crypto right here in your brain stay
  • 00:16:55
    tuned for the end of this video when I show you  how I can gain access to your funds using these
  • 00:17:01
    12 words anytime and anywhere but regardless of  whether you lose this particular phone or not it's
  • 00:17:07
    for this reason I do not recommend backing this  phrase up to iCloud which is something that could
  • 00:17:13
    also be hacked I don't recommend ever storing your  wallet private key on any device connected to the
  • 00:17:18
    internet password manager or similar so don't  take a screenshot of it or picture the best way
  • 00:17:24
    is using good old-fashioned pen and paper for now  securing it in multiple geographical locations in
  • 00:17:30
    case of a fire flood or similar in this video  we are just doing a simple short-term solution
  • 00:17:35
    for storing our own crypto together to get it off  of exchanges until we can get a hardware wallet
  • 00:17:40
    so for now like I said I recommend writing  your secret phrase down on paper and storing
  • 00:17:45
    it somewhere extremely secure like a safe or  inconspicuous like into your house in a book
  • 00:17:50
    on a shelf or similar cool next we need to verify  the secret phrase by tapping the words to put them
  • 00:17:56
    next to each other in the correct order and we  are done we have officially created our very own
  • 00:18:01
    self-custody crypto wallet where we can completely  own and control our digital assets using the trust
  • 00:18:08
    wallet we can buy crypto deposit and store nfts  and deposit crypto tap deposit now let's say
  • 00:18:15
    we have some ether we can send to our new trust  Wallet tap ethereum and from here we can scan the
  • 00:18:21
    QR code or copy the address for our first example  to show you how easy it is to use tangent wallet
  • 00:18:27
    we are going to send some ether from tangent  wallet to trustwallet so I'm going to tap the
  • 00:18:32
    copy button to copy our trust ether address then  I'm going to open tangem's mobile app and tap scan
  • 00:18:39
    card then using my physical tangent Hardware  Wallet card I'm going to tap it to my phone
  • 00:18:44
    then enter my access code then tap the card again  and here we are at our tangent wallet dashboard
  • 00:18:50
    I'm going to tap ethereum TAPS in paste The Ether  trust wallet address into the address field enter
  • 00:18:57
    100 worth of ether looks like the network fee to  process the transaction is about two dollars make
  • 00:19:02
    sure everything looks good and tap send to verify  the transaction I'm going to enter my access code
  • 00:19:07
    again tap my tantrum card to my phone and success  the transaction has been signed and sent to the
  • 00:19:13
    blockchain so now if we open our trust Wallet  app enter our passcode hear almost instantly on
  • 00:19:19
    the trust wallet dashboard we see the hundred  dollars worth of ether has a wrap amazing next
  • 00:19:24
    here comes the part that will probably be a  lot easier than you think transferring your
  • 00:19:28
    crypto from The Exchange to your new self-custody  mobile wallet for Simplicity I'm going to assume
  • 00:19:34
    your crypto is on coinbase in this guide however  no matter which exchange you use you should be
  • 00:19:39
    able to log in choose a send function and follow  similar steps to move your crypto on your computer
  • 00:19:45
    or phone log into your Exchange in this guide  I'm accessing The coinbase Exchange app on a
  • 00:19:50
    mobile device on the coinbase mobile app dashboard  TAPS in let's say we want to send Bitcoin from The
  • 00:19:56
    Exchange to our trust wallet so tap Bitcoin and  on the Trust app tap Bitcoin to see the QR code or
  • 00:20:03
    or copy the address in this video we are scanning  the QR code like so then tap continue enter the
  • 00:20:09
    email of Bitcoin to send I always recommend that  beginners and seasoned crypto investors alike
  • 00:20:15
    send a small amount to a new wallet first to make  sure everything goes smoothly before sending large
  • 00:20:20
    amounts in this video we are going to send 100  worth tax preview make sure everything looks good
  • 00:20:26
    the fee will be about 73 cents it'll take about 30  minutes to complete the transfer tap send now if
  • 00:20:33
    you have 2fa setup enter the six digit code from  your authenticator app and it's been successfully
  • 00:20:38
    sent tap done and we can see after a few minutes  the Bitcoin has arrived to our trust wallet
  • 00:20:44
    brilliant here we are we now are in complete  control of our Bitcoin and ether where it's
  • 00:20:50
    stored on the blockchain and we are the only ones  with keys to access it rather than it merely being
  • 00:20:55
    an amorphous pool of Bitcoin controlled by the  exchange so secure your secret phrase and repeat
  • 00:21:01
    these steps to transfer all of your cryptocurrency  currency on exchanges you're looking to hold for
  • 00:21:06
    the long term to your new mobile wallet that  is until your Hardware wallet arrives now for
  • 00:21:11
    the Eureka oh my God I finally get it moment as it  relates to secret phrases and access to our crypto
  • 00:21:17
    let's just say I come across your 12 words and  just your 12 words not your phone not your address
  • 00:21:24
    or passwords or anything that has any connection  with you to it at all if I found a piece of paper
  • 00:21:30
    in the middle of the street with these 12 words  and I wanted to take your crypto this is how it
  • 00:21:35
    can be done you can pretty much use almost any  other mobile crypto Wallet app to do this quickly
  • 00:21:40
    in this example I'm going to download another  crypto mobile app called Exodus next I'm going
  • 00:21:47
    to open the app but instead of choosing to create  a wallet I'm going to select I have a wallet and
  • 00:21:52
    on the restore wallet screen I'm going to select  secret phrase and start typing in the 12 words on
  • 00:21:58
    this paper I randomly found on the street note  that while it's like Ledger and trezor create
  • 00:22:03
    24 words and you can do the same exact thing if I  found your 24 word Ledger private key I can do the
  • 00:22:09
    same exact thing and take all of your funds cool  okay so all 12 words are entered and now I'm going
  • 00:22:15
    to tap continue and restart to restore this wallet  after a minute or so we've been notified that
  • 00:22:20
    the restore was successful in voila here is the  hundred dollars of Bitcoin and hundred dollars of
  • 00:22:26
    ether we sent to our new trust wallet but since we  didn't secure our 12 words I was able to download
  • 00:22:32
    another crypto Wallet app and restore access  to it using just the 12 words from here I can
  • 00:22:38
    easily send the funds elsewhere to another wallet  I control and you do not effectively stealing all
  • 00:22:44
    of your crypto and digital assets that fast and  that simple check it out here's the Bitcoin and
  • 00:22:51
    it's gone and here's the ether and it's also gone  the next time we open our trust wallet we set up
  • 00:22:58
    but did not secure properly we can see our balance  is zero that's why it's so important to guard your
  • 00:23:04
    private key recovery phrase 12 or 24 words  whatever you've got and to consider getting a
  • 00:23:09
    horror wallet that generates a private key offline  and stores it offline for maximum security or we
  • 00:23:15
    can also consider different wallets that do not  use seed phrases that can easily be stolen or
  • 00:23:20
    in some cases we can be socially engineered or  tricked by scammers that pretend to be Ledger
  • 00:23:25
    or similar and try to have us type in our seed  phrases into a big website or by having us text
  • 00:23:30
    them or email them our seed phrase then by similar  steps we just went through using the words to
  • 00:23:36
    drain your wallet wallets that use alternative  ways to secure crypto wallet private keys are
  • 00:23:40
    BC Vault and tangent wallet for example with the  tangip wallet the private keys are actually never
  • 00:23:45
    exposed to anyone ever so if I found your tandem  wallet randomly on the street and downloaded the
  • 00:23:51
    tangent Wallet app and scan the card the the  requirement of an access code prevents me from
  • 00:23:56
    accessing your crypto and sending it elsewhere  to steal it at the end of the day with this new
  • 00:24:00
    speculative technology it's important to  diversify where we store our crypto long
  • 00:24:04
    term by using several different types of wallets  so we don't experience a total loss if something
  • 00:24:09
    happened to Ledger vs trust wallet versus BC Vault  or tangent so be sure to scroll down and use the
