Before buying Bitcoin, you’ll need a wallet to store it. Wallets come in different forms:

  • Mobile Wallets: Apps like Trust Wallet, Mycelium, or the wallet integrated into crypto exchanges.
  • Desktop Wallets: Software that you install on your computer, such as Electrum or Exodus.
  • Hardware Wallets: Physical devices like Ledger Nano S or Trezor, providing enhanced security.
  • Web Wallets: Online services like Coinbase or Blockchain.info, accessible from any internet-connected device.
