Could you elaborate on the workings of a cryptocurrency wallet? I'm curious to know how it securely stores and manages digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Does it function similarly to a traditional wallet, or does it operate in a completely different manner? I'm particularly interested in understanding the security features and how they protect against potential threats. Additionally, I'd like to know if there are different types of wallets and what are the key considerations when choosing one. Thank you for your insight.
