Explain a crypto wallet to a skeptical friend

Your friend keeps saying 'crypto is a scam' but is curious how a wallet actually works. Brief an AI to explain without the hype.

Difficulty: Intermediate · Genre: Explain

The scenario

Friend: 35, software-adjacent, knows tech but not crypto.
Friend's stance: skeptical, doesn't want to be sold.
Goal: 6-8 sentences explaining a wallet — keys, custody, why 'not your keys' matters.

The goal

An AI should explain wallets like a calm engineer, not a Discord pumper: keys vs custody, hot vs cold, and the 'not your keys, not your coins' line in plain terms.

What a strong brief covers

Should specify: the audience's skepticism, the no-hype rule, the 3 concepts to cover, the length, and one real-world analogy.
