You must have heard about <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/bitcoin-101\">Bitcoin<\/a> from someone if you are not an active Bitcoin trader. But there are some intricacies of Bitcoin, including its wallets. This is why you need to know how to open a <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-bitcoin-wallet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin wallet<\/a> to start trading Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Since the launch of Bitcoin in 2009 by an anonymous developer, Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has become the pathfinder to the growth of cryptocurrency, with many crypto assets taking a cue from its features. This coin is the premier crypto asset that has experienced a significant rise in price and trading volume.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Bitcoin is not only the world&#8217;s most popular cryptocurrency but also the most popular and expensive crypto asset\u2014having broken the <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/bitcoin-hit-100k-driving-historic-price-surge\">$100K psychological barrier.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin is characterised by a decentralised feature that hinges on blockchain technology to enable a fast and safe transaction when trading in the coin. This means that Bitcoin trading lacks third-party mediation, as we have in local bank transactions. The fortune that Bitcoin portends makes trading digital assets one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/10-best-ways-make-money-online-nigeria\/\">best ways to make money online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can not start Bitcoin trading if you do not have a Bitcoin wallet. Therefore, a Bitcoin wallet is crucial to holding Bitcoin, just like you need a local bank account to save money in your preferred bank.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_A_Bitcoin_Wallet\"><\/span>What Is A Bitcoin Wallet?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8174 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MotleyFool-TMOT-feccc6d4-bitcoin-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Bitcoin wallet on Prestmit\" width=\"1320\" height=\"880\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MotleyFool-TMOT-feccc6d4-bitcoin-logo.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MotleyFool-TMOT-feccc6d4-bitcoin-logo-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MotleyFool-TMOT-feccc6d4-bitcoin-logo-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.prestmit.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MotleyFool-TMOT-feccc6d4-bitcoin-logo-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1320px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1320\/880;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Bitcoin wallet is a device you can use to send and receive Bitcoin. The use of a Bitcoin wallet can perhaps be likened to how you use your physical wallet to store fiat currency. But the fact here is that a Bitcoin wallet does not store Bitcoin in it. So how, then, does a Bitcoin wallet work?<\/p>\n<p>The best approach to understanding how Bitcoin wallets work is the function of your credit cards. This card does not hold physical money, but it does give you access to your money when you use it at ATMs or POS terminals. The difference between your Bitcoin wallet and your payment cards is decentralized, while local banks centralise the latter.<\/p>\n<p>It is common knowledge that your local bank payment cards have your account information linked to the card(s), similar to a Bitcoin wallet holding at least one account. The public Bitcoin address and private key are the two major pieces of information associated with your wallet.<\/p>\n<p>The public Bitcoin address is like your account number that gives a directory to the origin of the Bitcoin. The private key is the secret password that enables you access to the Bitcoin associated with the public Bitcoin address. This private key is usually a 256-bit secret number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Bitcoin_Wallets\"><\/span>Types Of Bitcoin Wallets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two (2) main types of Bitcoin wallets \u2013 hardware wallets and software wallets.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Hardware_Wallets\"><\/span>1. Hardware Wallets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is considered the most secure Bitcoin wallet due to the storage of private keys on a physical device. This makes the wallets inaccessible from the internet or by a computer. How <a href=\"https:\/\/prestmit.io\/blog\/top-5-hardware-offlinecold-crypto-wallets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hardware wallets<\/a> work is that you need to plug in the wallet using a USB cable. The hardware would then be able to authorise transactions without exposing the private key.<\/p>\n<p>However, one key demerit of using hardware wallets is the cost of getting the wallet and its availability. Some popular hardware wallets are Trezor and Ledger.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Software_Wallets\"><\/span>2. Software Wallets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Software wallets are available on devices like smartphones, desktop computers, or web browsers. But this type of Bitcoin wallet is vulnerable to malware, phishing schemes, and viruses because all these computing devices have several applications running on them. Nonetheless, software wallets are ideal for everyday use if you take safety precautions seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, the Prestmit wallet is one of the best software wallets you can use for your Bitcoin. This is a sophisticated crypto wallet used and trusted by many crypto traders.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Prestmit\"><\/span>Understanding Prestmit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Prestmit is an over-the-counter (OTC) digital trading platform that has been the staple for trading cryptocurrencies and gift cards.
