An account is a container for a user's balances
this statement technically isn't correct.. although, conceptually probably not bad to think about it this way. accounts really only have this saved:
type BaseAccount struct {
Address string `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=address,proto3" json:"address,omitempty"`
PubKey *anypb.Any `protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=pub_key,json=pubKey,proto3" json:"pub_key,omitempty"`
AccountNumber uint64 `protobuf:"varint,3,opt,name=account_number,json=accountNumber,proto3" json:"account_number,omitempty"`
Sequence uint64 `protobuf:"varint,4,opt,name=sequence,proto3" json:"sequence,omitempty"`
}x/bank is the one that stores balances, it does so by mapping address-denom -> balance
if it's not meant to be technically accurate, its likely fine. but just thought i'd flag.

| An address is not the same thing as a public key. The address is derived from the public key, but it does not reveal the public key directly. | ||

| When an account receives tokens for the first time, only the address is needed. The chain can credit balances to that address without knowing the public key. |

for the first time
seems to imply that this is not the case after the first time 🤔
