Hardware wallet

A hardware wallet is a kind of wallet / bank account on which crypto can be safely stored. A hardware wallet is often in the form of a USB stick or something similar. To send the crypto on a hardware wallet to another wallet, the hardware wallet must be connected to an online device. This is usually done via USB or bluetooth. In addition to hardware wallets, there are also software wallets, which are on a device such as a computer or telephone.
