Why storage matters
Once you've bought any cryptocurrency, the most important step is to store it securely. This course is about keeping what you hold safe — and making sure the people you love can reach it if anything happens to you.
Not financial advice
This is education only, never advice to buy. Cryptocurrency is volatile and you can lose everything. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. SeasonedBeings does not recommend any specific coin, platform, or investment.
Leaving your crypto on an exchange is convenient, but exchanges can be — and have been — hacked. There's a well-worn phrase in the crypto world: "not your keys, not your coins." It means that if someone else holds the keys to your funds, the funds aren't truly under your control. The safest approach for anything beyond a small amount is to move it to your own personal wallet, where you alone hold the keys.
The responsibility is yours
In ordinary banking, the bank is responsible for security. In crypto, that responsibility rests entirely with you. That sounds daunting, but it's quite manageable once you know the few simple habits in this course.
