Private Key
A private key is a secret code that gives you full cotnrol over your cryptocurrency.
Quick Reference:
Secret Password. Never Share It. If lost, lose funds.
Expanded Explanation:
A private key is like the key to your safe. It proves that you own the coins stored on the blockchain and allows you to move them. Whoever has the private key has complete control over the funds, so it must remain secret. Wallets are built to protect private keys, but if you write them down or keep them insecurely, hackers could steal them. If you lose your private key, no one can recover it. Not even the wallet provider. The golden rule is “not your keys, Not your money”.
