A Bitcoin wallet is an application that allows you to use the Bitcoin payment network. You’re able to download this wallet either directly from their website, or directly from your app store on your device.
Setting up a Bitcoin Wallet
Bitcoin is a permissionless network, meaning anyone can download and start transacting on the network without approval.
Key Takeaways
