I have a Ledger Nano X to store… something. The setup asks you to create one or more “accounts”. The n00b has no reason to understand what this is. How many cryptos per account? Is the account tied to one PC/smartphone device? Or shared? One or more Ledger devices? Why do I need any “account”? Why can’t I just send crypto to the device?

Even the receive process is confusing in Ledger Live. Do I need to keep the window open to receive? It may be “obvious” to you, but not to a beginner.

If I am befuddled, then it’s not fit for mass consumption. It may require an Apple type of approach to simplification of this whole stack.

I have the Ledger S, but should be the same process as the X. Your ledger holds many cryptos. You only have to create one account by writing down the seed phrase and connecting to your computer & phone.

I do know people who have multiple ledgers that can merge onto their ledger live app. But to keep it simple, follow the directions/video that comes with it. It is super confusing the first few times, but it doesl get easier.

When I transfer, I have my ledger plugged into my laptop, my Ledger Live open on my laptop and have an exchange tab open to copy/paste the send/receive address.

I learned most everything about crypto from Zen God. He does have a paid course, but has tons of free content on his YouTube. I started watching his videos from bottom up. https://www.youtube.com/c/ZenGod1/videos
