I am wondering about the storage location of Bitcoin balances. I know that Bitcoin is a digital currency, but where are the actual balances kept? Are they stored online or offline? And how secure are they?

Without the private keys, you would be unable to access or transfer your Bitcoin. This makes the security of your wallet paramount.

Bitcoin's storage mechanism is quite unique. Contrary to popular belief, it's not actually kept in your wallet.

Your wallet, therefore, serves as a digital vault for your private keys. These keys are crucial as they grant you access to your Bitcoin accounts.
