Hey All -
I started buying BTC about a month ago in a Coinbase account. I have transferred some of the BTC to Xapo...
I keep seeing people mention how important it is to not lose your private key. To write it down and put it in a safe deposit box.
What is the private key? Is it just my wallet address?
Thanks!

I have read this before and I have downloaded the BitCoin client, so how do I identify my private key here? I also noticed with my wallet, I only have one bitcoin address, how do I have so many more on CoinBase?
