Hot wallets, cold wallets, hardware wallets, custodial wallets, lightning wallets, holy crap! What does all of this mean and how do they relate to your keys and your bitcoin? That is what we are covering in today’s episode, Bitcoin Basics episode 4, all about wallets and transactions.

Here is a reference to all of the wallets I use most often and for you to explore when setting up your own. I will also have this available on bitcoinaudible.com so it is easy to find down the road.
