Welcome to the first in a series of beginner-level cryptocurrency courses designed to give you a solid foundational understanding of how crypto works, and how you can transact and store your digital assets safely.
This course will teach you all about Private Keys. What they are, how they work, and what to do if you lose yours. The course is split into six sections as follows:
- Definition of Private Keys and their relationship to Public Keys.
- How Private Keys secure ownership of crypto.
- Seed Phrases and how they act as backups of your Private Keys.
- How wallets use Keys to secure transactions.
- Security best practices: Why you should never share your Private Keys online.
We will recap each section with a couple of questions to make sure you’re ready to move on, and then you will take a final quiz at the end of the course to ensure you fully grasp the topic.
Let’s not waste any more time. Your crypto journey starts now!
