Create a new crypto wallet
For the purposes of this guide we will use the oldest and most reliable wallet out there, which is obviously METAMASK.
- Go to the official METAMASK page.
- Click on the GET STARTED button. (if you are on mobile it will open either IOS or Android Store.)
For Desktop/Computer users:
- Click on Create new wallet
- If you are not into privacy, Log in with Apple or Google.
However if you are into privacy, click Use Secret Recovery Phrase - On the next screen, create your password. Use a strong password, don’t be a stereotype boomer. The best is to use a password generator and a password manager like BitWarden
- On the next screen you will be prompted to tap to reveal your seed phrase. Its a 12 word sentence that has no meaning other than random words that are stronger than your password and is THE SOLE METHOD of recovering your wallet if you forget the password.
- Tap to reveal the seed phrase and COPY IT on a piece of paper. Yes take the time out of your busy life to find a writing tool and a piece of paper and write the 12 words down on it, make sure you written them down correctly and store that paper where your soul is. This is what the phrase looks like
1.index 2.certain 3.correct 4.portion 5.dance 6.moral
7.juice 8.finish 9.stem 10.into 11.element 12.focus
- After you’ve written your seed phrase click continue.
- On the next screen it will ask you to confirm your seed phrase to make sure you’re written it down like a good person that you are. Put in the words at the positions it asks for and click Continue.
- You will arrive at a screen where it says “Your wallet is ready”. Click Done. At this stage you have a wallet and you are ready to buy your first Crypto coins. Your wallet will look like in the second image below
