Intro To Blockchain: MetaMask

What is MetaMask? MetaMask is actually a company that is the leading provider for crypto wallets. What is a crypto wallet? A crypto wallet is an online storage where a user can keep all their crypto coins. With it being online and all, security is top priority number one. The way that MetaMask get's this done is by having not just an ordinary password, but also a secure set of private key words that is assigned to the user when they create their wallet. With this secret phrase, they can log onto their wallet. Without this phrase, no one can do anything. Literally no one, not even MetaMask themselves. That's the beauty about this, it is so secure that if you lose this secret phrase, you might as well just have lost all the money in your wallet, and as per usual, people in crypto, have alot to lose.
