Whether you're tracking Bitcoin's skyrocketing value or diving into Ethereum's smart contracts, understanding cryptocurrency is becoming a big deal.

What is Cryptocurrency?

Let’s break it down. Cryptocurrency is basically digital money. It’s used to secure transactions and manage the creation of new coins. But here’s the twist: unlike the cash issued by governments, cryptocurrency operates on a decentralized network powered by blockchain technology.

Picture blockchain as a huge digital notebook that everyone in the network can see. This makes transactions transparent and trustworthy.

I'm planning on getting a hardware wallet for better security, but one part of that which concerns me is backing up my seed phrase. I know I can back it up onto a dedicated metal card which is my plan, but I feel uncomfortable with the idea that my seed phrase is just sitting in my house or something out in the open.

I know it's not advisable to store your seed phrase in a password manager, but I was thinking I could split the seed phrase up and put part in my password manager and part on the physical backup? Something along those lines? I just want to make sure that there isn't a single place where someone would have to compromise, but instead they'd have to compromise both my digital and physical spaces.

Has anyone who has the same concerns come up with a good solution that works for them? Would love to hear about it.

I'm having trouble understanding what it is and how to use it. The project website seems to be filled with buzzwords but no actual usecase.

The name hints at a being a DEX, but that doesn't seem to be it. They talk about banking for everyone, but they don't have a coin. What exactly is it and how can one use it? Is it usable by laymen?

Maybe @[email protected] can answer or anybody else who understands it...

"The Oslo Freedom Forum, held annually by the Human Rights Foundation, has become a worldwide cornerstone for human rights activists. This year, the 16th edition of the forum was centered around the theme "Re-claim Democracy." It brought together activists, thinkers, and leaders to discuss the challenges of rising authoritarianism and how bitcoin can support activists fighting against oppressive regimes."

This exchange claims doing ~30% of Monero XMR trading volume following CoinGecko markets tab.

Monero is a good example because it's not that much speculated (more used as a currency), when looking kraken or tradeogre.

On an other side, nobody mentions Gate as a platform to buy Monero or as a liquidity provider for instant crypto exchanges.
