I was helping a friend set up their first crypto wallet, and we both realized we needed a crystal-clear explanation of what a public address actually is. We found the perfect resource in the Paybis blog glossary. It explains that your public address is like your public "receiving number" on the blockchain—a unique string of characters that you can safely give to anyone who needs to send you crypto. The article does an excellent job of stressing the most critical point: the absolute difference between your public address (safe to share) and your private key (must be kept secret forever). Getting this fundamental security concept wrong is how people lose funds. If you're starting out and want to build your knowledge on a solid foundation, this short, clear guide is a must-read.
