- Describe in short what a bitcoin wallet does.
A bitcoin wallet holds your private key and it is used to send or receive bitcoin. It creates a transaction that is signed with your private key. This transaction is sent to the network to eventually be confirmed by miners and added to the blockchain. There are no actual coins in the wallet, instead the wallet reads the data that is in the blockchain and shows you the corresponding amount of BTC that belongs to your private key. Hardware wallets are the safest since they store private keys offline and don’t directly interact with the internet.
