What is a wallet?
A wallet is a medium (physical), program or service which stores public and/or private keys used to track ownership, receive and spend cryptocurrency. A public key allows for other wallets to make payments or transactions to the wallet’s address while the private keys enable the spending of cryptocurrency from your own address.
Cryptocurrency wallets are grouped into two types.
1. Online or cloud based wallets
2. Software on a computer or a mobile device.
3. Hardware with external device.
What this means is that, you can have a wallet on your android or iPhone or on your desktop/computer.
