Hello there, I'm a bit new to the world of cryptocurrencies and I have a question that's been bugging me. Do I really need a wallet for crypto? I've heard some people say it's essential, while others seem to manage their coins just fine without one. Could you please clarify this for me? I'd like to understand the importance of having a crypto wallet and how it differs from just keeping my coins on an exchange. Also, if I do decide to get a wallet, are there any specific features or security measures I should look out for? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

However, not all wallets are created equal. While all wallets can store keys, not all can access the blockchain directly.

Hot wallets, in particular, are designed to facilitate quick and convenient transactions by maintaining direct access to the blockchain.
