What is the difference between private key and the mnemonics we get while creating a wallet?
When working with crypto I am used to have a public address, a private key and a password. These are usually the elements that are giving me access to my wallet (private key + password) and receiving funds (public address). But I see that when creating a wallet in some app you also get a mnemonic for it. I wonder if this replaces the private key in any way or if you don't need that anymore. Hopefully you can bring some light on that, thus the next question.
