I've been hearing a lot about cryptocurrencies lately, and I'm starting to get interested. But one thing that's been bugging me is the question of security. Can you actually lose crypto in a wallet? I mean, isn't the wallet like a secure container for your coins? Or is there some way that someone could access your wallet and steal your crypto? I've heard stories about hackers and scams, and it's making me nervous about getting involved. So, can you lose crypto in a wallet? And if so, how can I prevent it? Can you lose crypto in a wallet?
