Bitcoin wallets enable individuals to store, send and receive Bitcoin, aka satoshis. These wallets can be broadly categorized into two types - hot wallets and cold wallets.
-
Hot wallets are online wallets that are connected to the internet and can be accessed through various devices, including smartphones and laptops. They are more convenient and easier to use, but are also more vulnerable to hacking attempts.
-
Cold wallets are offline wallets that provide a higher level of security, as they are not connected to the internet. They are typically hardware devices, like USB sticks, that store private keys, making them a popular choice for long-term storage of large amounts of Bitcoin.
