Beginners Guide to a Secret Recovery Phrase (aka Seed Phrase), Private Key, and a Public Address

Hello Solana Community!

In this video, I give a visual guide on what is a seed phrase, also known as a secret recovery phrase (being a set of 12 or 24 English words), what is a private key, and what is a public address.

It is meant for a basic understanding, and you can research further for the technical things.

If you are super new to this, check out my friend's video on what a blockchain is as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHybf1aC-jE&t=1s
It's genius!

My goal is to make things super simple as, for most, crypto is too difficult currently.

VERY IMPORTANT: Always check ANY LINKS with official sources in case a scammer uses a wrong address, which happens always, or in case the youtuber makes a mistake.
