Hello everyone It's me again @Oslec08 , Mobile cryptocurrency wallets, multi-crypto wallets, desktop, and hardware wallets, check out wallets where you can store your crypto in this article.

A cryptocurrency wallet is a piece of software or application where you *store your Bitcoin, ether, or any other virtual currencies that you have.

Think of it like the wallet where you store your money. You put your paper bills in the wallet. Everyone knows you have a wallet (unless you don’t, which is very very alarming), but only you can take the money out of your wallet. Continue reading if you want to know more about cryptocurrency wallets not just for btc but for all coins.)

Private and Public Addresses

The cryptocurrency wallet has private and public keys (or private and public addresses). When you send your friend John an altcoin, you send it to his public address. Remember that blockchain is a public ledger Everyone John transacts with knows his public address. Everyone even knows how much altcoin is in his wallet.

But only John can take the coin out of that wallet. That’s because he’s the only one who knows the private key (or private address) to open his wallet.

Characteristics of Best Cryptocurrency Wallets

Wallets come in different forms. there are different wallets for different cryptocurrencies. Well, there are wallets where you can put many coins. Examples are wallets on cryptocurrency exchanges (like the one on Bittrex).

But wallets on an exchange are not secure. Furthermore, because exchanges trade millions of Bitcoin per day, they are a prime target for hackers. I will list down the best cryptocurrency wallet for users in the Philippines.

Note: Every wallet listed here are wallets that you can freely download. Technically, all wallets are available globally, but some, like Abra, Coins, and Bitbit also have a team on the ground in PH. Some provide a watered-down version of their platforms, like Coinbase that only allows us to store our coins. Meaning, its wallet functions are available to us. But their other features, like quick exchange and trading are not available for users in the country.

I'm using coins.ph wallet too. I can access from mobile app or on my desktop. I love this wallet because you can convert you crypto currencies to Peso. Coins.ph is also free, secure, and trusted mobile wallet that lets you access financial services from your phone, even without a bank account or credit card. And coins.ph is regulated and licensed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to offer electronic money, remittances and transfers, and virtual currency and exchange services. They also provide simple, safe, and secure ways to make digital payments, as well as cryptocurrency buy and sell services. That's why coins.ph has many users here in the Philippines.
