For those of us just venturing into the world of cryptocurrency, the question of how to send bitcoins from a paper wallet often arises. Could you please explain, in simple terms, the steps involved in this process? I understand that paper wallets are essentially just printed versions of private keys, but how do I actually utilize this piece of paper to transfer bitcoins to another wallet? Is there a specific software or online tool I need to use? Any advice on security measures to take during this process would also be greatly appreciated.
