Used an app called Ben in 2019 and was given a small amount of Bitcoin. How can I retrieve it?

I found my written down wallet address, but it seems the app doesn't exist anymore. Any tips on how I can get my (very small bit) money out?

What was the hardest Bitcoin concept for you to understand as a beginner?

When people first get into Bitcoin, there are a lot of concepts that sound simple until you actually try to understand how they work.

Things like:

  • private keys vs. seed phrases 
  • hot wallets vs. cold wallets 
  • Bitcoin mining 
  • transaction fees 
  • self-custody 
  • the halving 
  • market capitalization 
  • why Bitcoin has a fixed supply

I'm curious: what was the Bitcoin concept that confused you the most when you were getting started?

And if you understand it now, what explanation finally made it click for you?

I think collecting simple explanations from people who have already gone through the learning process could be useful for other beginners here.
