Crypto Keys. What You Can Share, what to back up. Walkthrough of Ian Coleman's BIP39 Tool.

Keep all your crypto safe & upgrade to a Ledger Nano X Hardware Wallet https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x?r=5243ecbb8427

Alternatively, if you prefer a 100% Open Source wallet, a Trezor One is also a great value wallet https://shop.trezor.io/product/trezor-one-white?offer_id=14&aff_id=2922&source=YouTube

A bunch of people have been scammed recently due to not understanding how their 24 word seed works, which parts of their keys they can share and which parts they need to keep secret. This video gives a quick walkthrough of Ian Coleman's BIP39 tool to look at what each part of it means and what the implications are if someone gets their hands on them. (Useful for anyone with a hardware wallet, Trezor, Ledger or Keepkey)

If you are new to Crypto, my suggestion is that you start with buying ~$150 worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin @ Coinbase and get familiar with storing it, moving it around, etc.

For your first purcahse, just stick with CoinBase: https://www.coinbase.com/join/5691c9d0a4c3a05dfa000151

For Trading, just start with Binance: https://www.binance.com/?ref=18111926

By sticking with large, reputable exchanges for your first purchase (Coinbase) and first trade (Binance) you can avoid getting scammed right at the start by purchasing a non-existing coin off a scammy exchange. (You would be surprised how many people fall into this trap)

Don't have a hardware wallet? Be safe and buy them direct from the manufacturer. (Not just through some random on eBay, Amazon, etc) Get a Ledger: https://shop.ledger.com?r=5243ecbb8427 (If you are just starting out, I would just recommend a Ledger Nano S)
