What is a Crypto / Bitcoin wallet?

A crypto or Bitcoin wallet is a digital application or device that allows you to securely store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. There are various types of Bitcoin wallets. A wallet typically includes a public address, which is used to receive cryptocurrency, and a private key, which is used to access and manage the holdings stored at the public address. The private key must be kept safe, as it is the only way to access the cryptocurrency stored in the wallet. There are several types of crypto wallets available, including software wallets, hardware wallets, and paper wallets. Each type of wallet has its own set of features and benefits, and it's important to research and choose the one that best suits your needs and security preferences.
