Wallets
WALLETS
Wallets are like our bank accounts in today’s centralized monetary systems. There are different types of wallets and each offer a different set of solutions with a different set of capabilities. Just like today when we store our FIAT money (government-issued currency) in various locations and accounts for ways of storing, managing and spending money. Bitcoin wallets are only slightly different in the ways of storing, managing and spending, but more efficient in use. We are the ones who have full control, all the time, of our Bitcoin. Here are some of the different types and wallets you can use for each solution.
Cold Storage Wallet
Similar to our savings, retirement savings or safety deposit box accounts. This is where we store most of our Bitcoin offline. Owning more than one cold storage wallet and using multi-signature
is a best practice.
