A Bitcoin wallet is a tool that allows you to store, receive, and send Bitcoin. It doesn't hold physical coins — instead, it stores the private keys that give you access to your Bitcoin on the blockchain.
Types of Wallets:
-
Software Wallets: Apps or programs for desktop or mobile.
-
Hardware Wallets: Physical devices that store your keys offline.
-
Paper Wallets: Physical printouts of your keys (less common today).
Your wallet is like your bank account, but you’re the bank. That means you are responsible for keeping it safe.
