How to Send & Receive Crypto
How do crypto wallets work?
Every Cryptocurrency wallet has two keys- A private & a Public Key (which is the wallet address). The private key is supposed to be your identification and the proof for holding a wallet and enables you to send the cryptocurrency and finish the transaction.
