What is a bitcoin wallet?
If you’re new to bitcoin, you may be wondering just what is a bitcoin wallet and how do they work? Bitcoin wallets are software that store the bitcoin private keys that you need to access a bitcoin address and spend your funds. They come in different forms, such as web wallets, bitcoin clients (programs), mobile applications, or even hardware wallets.
Bitcoin wallets are primarily made to allow users to send and receive bitcoin from the wallet. Just like with fiat currency such as dollars or euros that you store in your physical wallet, you can store your digital bitcoins in your electronic wallet.
There are many bitcoin wallets available on the market besides Copay, depending on what kind of features you are looking for.
