A Bitcoin stores your private keys and is used to validate a transaction. It creates and signs a transaction and will broadcast this transaction to the different peers in the network. The wallet will read the blockchain and notify you if you receive any funds.
There is NO coins stored in a wallet!!!

Private key to make the transaction. In any aspect of describing the cryptocurrency environment, actually there is no currency at all, instead, there is a database which is being hold by everyone who has a private key as called wallet and the values written on blockchain. Transactions happen when fullnodes enter transaction records to the blockchain. Wallet in another aspec a private key can be on a paper disconnected from the network, can be kept by a full node computer which has a copy of a blockchain or hosted wallets by exchange companiesâ websites who probably stands as a full node with a copy of a blockchain.

A wallet acts more like a keychain than a wallet because it doesnât actually have any âcoinsâ in it but rather it keeps track of UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) and the associated private keys for those UTXOs so that at any time it can sign for a transaction enabling the spending of the coins held by those private keys.
There are paper wallets which hold private keys, but they must be imported onto an online wallet when a person wants to send a transaction, but afterwards they must create a new paper wallet to avoid vulnerabilities from use of the private keys online.
Things like a Ledger or Trezor are hardware wallets which keep the private keys secure offline but sign for transactions when plugged into an online computer.
âHosted walletsâ are not really âwalletsâ as they donât usually maintain the private keys of the account balance. They are associated with a third-party account which maintains the real wallet and private keys for coins, so when someone initiates a transaction like on Coinbase for example, they use the associated app, then Coinbase itself uses the private key to make the transaction.

A: Stores your private key which can be used to sign a transaction, derives a public key from the private key, and provides a user interface with the blockchain so balances and transactions are kept current. A paper wallet is a record of private keys and public keys only and does not interface with the blockchain in real time.

1- A bitcoin wallet stores your private keys on kind of a USB device. This way, your private keys donât actually touch the internet. These keys allow you to sign transactions (therefore verifying your identity) that you create, for example, to send a certain amount of bitcoin to someone. The transactions you create are broadcast to the network where all of the nodes in that network change their database to reflect how much money you have received or sent out.
