Lessons

2. Keys and seedsA key pair has a public half you can share and a secret half you never do.
3. Choosing a walletCustodial or not, hardware or software: each choice trades convenience against control.
4. Why every account keeps a reserveA small amount of XRP in every account stays put, so the shared ledger doesn't fill up with junk.
