Crypto is something that you hear a lot about lately, but I've never gotten a grasp on what it is or how buy it and use it. Is there a good non-jewed video I could watch or something I could read that explains it and shows you how to get into it? I've tried to watch a few videos but they're all over the place. There's a ton of foreign concepts to me like wallets, block chain, etc.

Just remember, don't ever store your private key/seed phrase online, and never give it to anyone. The private key is the money. If you even take a picture of it and store that online, you'll be robbed. Write it down and store half of it in multiple places to be safe.

I wouldn't even trust it being on any wallet on any online-connected device. Too easy for it to leak the key.

Good to know. If you trade through an app like coinbase or robinhood then how do you keep safe?

With those services you aren't directly moving crypto, so you don't even have the key. They own the ceypto and just trade it on your behalf (a benefit is lower transaction cost). The only credentials you have is your login to the site.
