Hey there!
Today I'd like to walk you through how to create a Trust Wallet.
The first reason you might want to consider a Trust Wallet is because it supports more than 100 blockchains, so if you have assets on different protocols, you can access them all with this one app; Quite convenient. The second reason is it's self-custodial meaning you hold your private keys, your seed phrase and thus control your crypto assets.
Self-custody is super safe because your keys are not vulnerable to an attack on a centralized server like Google or AWS. It also means you cannot call anybody to recover your keys or seedphrase if you ever lose them, so you need to be extra careful in keeping them safe.
I use good old pen and paper in a fire-proof safe. and as a back up, I use a cold USB stick that is (almost) never connected to the internet. Only when I use LEODEX and if I ever need to recover my keys.

And I'll even give you a third reason (which I will cover in more detail in another video):
You can use your Trust Wallet to vote on The Dapp List, a website that lists DeFi, NFT, Metaverse, Gaming projects and much more and lets the community vote for the best ones.
These are some of the blockchains currently supported on The Dapp List:

I hope you found my tutorial helpful. If there's any content you'd like me to cover, please let me know and I'll do my best to make it happen.

Hello friend!
This is a really helpful and informative post about Trust Wallet!
You've highlighted two critical advantages that many crypto newcomers should consider:
-the impressive multi-blockchain support
-and the importance of self-custody.
I particularly appreciate how you balanced the security benefits of self-custody with the responsibility it entails.
The straightforward explanation that "you cannot call anybody to recover your keys or seed-phrase if you ever lose them" is an essential warning that many tutorials gloss over. I cannot imagine how many wallets stay in-actives do to this issue.
For anyone considering getting started with cryptocurrency, understanding these wallet fundamentals is crucial. Trust Wallet seems like a solid option for those ready to take control of their digital assets.
Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for making this information available. I have met many people that are new to decentralized everything and the first thing they ask is how safe is it. How can they protect their investments, etc.
So many tutorials online are written to be lengthy for more ads or are videos that drag out, again for more ads.
Your commentary style is great, not too fast, you go into the details naturally. Considering how easily this can become overwhelming for new users your style is refreshing.
Thank you, thank you, for putting video of what you are doing onscreen as well. Too many forget that interfaces could be slightly different so simply explaining where buttons are or what to look for could be different depending on device being used.

It is definitely something that is confusing to people just getting into Web3 and such. I know, I do a lot of discussing the benefits of Web3 on Meta platforms and on Discord and those that stick around and want to learn more get hung up on wallets and such. Simply telling them it is like their online bank is too simplified and somewhat a disservice to the protection a wallet such as Trust Wallet offers.
Most get lost at the decentralized part. Confusion sets in over who owns the platform and such. I tell them, no one owns it alone, it is a community ownership and those that want to invest simply purchase the crypto. Many run back to Facebook because there is a figure head they can blame when their experience is less than optimal, I guess. Lol.
I am excited because I have started seeing others discussing Hive and decentralized platforms in general "in the wild".
Making information like you are creating available is how we grow as a community and help those that are new and need a helping hand. Together we all achieve more.
