What are cryptocurrency wallets?
09/28/21 • 16 min
To use cryptocurrencies, one needs a crypto wallet. A wallet allows you to see your balance and send and receive funds. Most cryptocurrency wallets look like the banking and payment apps you already use, but they work very differently under the hood.
Today we’ll explore cryptocurrency wallets in 3 parts. First, we’ll discuss how a cryptocurrency wallet works by comparing it to things you’re already familiar with. Second, we’ll dive into the world of public and private keys, which are your identity on the blockchain. And finally, we’ll talk about the different types of wallets you can use and their levels of security.
The Zen Crypto Show is produced by ZenGo, where you can buy, sell, trade, and earn cryptocurrencies with mind-bending simplicity and safety and is hosted by Sebastien Couture.

Second, we’ll explore how they are different from other cryptocurrencies and tokens.

What are crypto scams?
Crypto is exciting but also has many traps and scams that newcomers as advanced users can fall into. In this episode, we’ll talk about some of the most common and easy-to-fall-for scams. We want to help you become aware of the risk and what you can do to mitigate those risks as much as possible.
Lots of the scams we’ll talk about today have existed since before crypto, but there’s a significant difference: there’s no undo button or customer service to call in crypto. And since crypto is global and anonymous, it’s easier for scammers to get away after they’ve stolen a victim’s money. When it comes to avoiding crypto scams, knowledge is your best defence.
