@dae2walker I am so proud of you Jahdae. I remember making you do tequila shots with me back at Laker Village when I went to visit Gio back freshman year. Telling you that one day I will be watching you in the NFL. GOD HAS BLESSED YOU. ⚓️⬆️
There are two main types of wallets:
🔒Custodial Wallets
• Ex: @coinbase , @binance
• Easy to use — they manage your keys
• But if they hold the keys, they own the crypto
(You’re basically renting access)
🔑 Non-Custodial Wallets
• Ex: @MetaMask , @phantom
• You own the private keys
• More freedom, but more responsibility — lose your seed phrase and it’s gone
🔥 Hot or ❄️ Cold — both styles exist.
But only non-custodial wallets give you TRUE CONTROL over your assets.

WTF is a crypto wallet — and why does everyone say “not your keys, not your crypto”?
Let’s break down what a wallet actually is, how it works, and why it matters. 👇
Crypto is about ownership and empowerment — not panic.
Taking control of your keys doesn’t have to be scary.
✅ Start small
✅ Follow simple safety steps
✅ Build your knowledge over time
You're not in this alone.

“Not your keys, not your crypto.”
You’ve seen it. Let’s decode it 👇
If your crypto sits on an exchange like @coinbase or @binance — they hold the keys.
You're basically borrowing your own money.
If they go down, freeze withdrawals, or get hacked...
You're out of luck.
👋 Who’s behind this?
Not a "guru".
Not a LARP.
Not here to shill or sell you a dream.
Just someone who’s genuinely fascinated by crypto and how it can reshape broken systems — and wants to break it down for anyone curious but overwhelmed.
Crypto isn’t coming — it’s already here.
And it’s rewriting the rules of finance, ownership, and the internet itself. 🌍

Im thinking about starting a CRYPTO JARGON series discussing topics like:
- Differences between Layer 1, 2, and 3
- What is Web3
- What are RWA and why they are valuable
- Smart contracts
- Blockchain
and other concepts that are important to understand if you’re new to crypto.
