The Account Model
The Account model of Aptos behaves where each user has their data stored in global storage. Think of this as a giant
mapping between the set of Address and Resource Name to a single storage slot.

There are two types of accounts today:
User Accounts
User accounts are the standard accounts that users create to interact with the Aptos blockchain. They are
denoted by the resource 0x1::account::Account and are used to hold assets, execute transactions, and interact with
smart contracts. They are generated from a signer and are associated with a public key. The public key is then hashed
to create the account address.
Resource Accounts
Resource accounts are accounts that are separate of a user account. The accounts are derived from an
existing account, and can have a SignerCapability stored in order to sign as the account. Alternatively, the signer
can be rotated to 0x0 preventing anyone from authenticating as an account.
