A bitcoin wallet is a hardware device used for storing bitcoin's safely rather than leaving it vulnerable to attacks when it's saved digitally online. Btc wallets are like a hard copy of your savings. Ledger is a very good wallet of your considering to invest in one.

A Bitcoin wallet is a software program where Bitcoins are stored. To be technically accurate, Bitcoins are not stored anywhere; there is a private key (secret number) for every Bitcoin address that is saved in the Bitcoin wallet of the person who owns the balance.

1.Web Wallets (Hot Storage)
             Easiest but the least safest.

2.Desktop/Mobile Wallets (Hot Storage)
             Better than web wallets but depends on a 3rd party server.

3.Hardware Wallets (Clod Storage)
             Simply a USB dongle.

4.Paper Wallets (Clod Storage)
             The private key printed on a piece of paper.

5.Other types of wallets
             Eg:-Meta Wallets,RFID enable chip

Inside the wallet you will find the Bitcoin Address. BitcoinAddress is the ID used for transactions with others, the concept is the same as the email used for paypal transactions. If you want to transfer bitcoin to someone else, you need to get Bitcoin Address from your transaction opponent.

As it was written above, there are different wallets (Web Wallets, Desktop / Mobile Wallets, Hardware Wallets, Paper Wallets, Other types of wallets,), in my opinion the most reliable is Hardware Wallets. BTC can also store crypto-currencies on the exchange.

A Bitcoin wallet is a collection of private keys but may also refer to client software used to manage those keys and to make transactions on the Bitcoin network.

A Bitcoin wallet is a software program where Bitcoins are stored. To be technically accurate, Bitcoins are not stored anywhere; there is a private key (secret number) for every Bitcoin address that is saved in the Bitcoin wallet of the person who owns the balance. Bitcoin wallets facilitate sending and receiving Bitcoins and gives ownership of the Bitcoin balance to the user.  The Bitcoin wallet comes in many forms; desktop, mobile, web and hardware are the four main types of wallets.

When starting out and reading about wallets I thought it was confusing but it's surprisingly easy. While you do hear about people getting their wallet compromised I don't think it's as common as it may look. Most of my friends that have been doing this for years have never been compromised. I would just jump the gun on a simple wallet and then as you learn the basics you'll move to a more secure one.

A bitcoin wallet has both a online payment software and information component. The online payment software provides security and encryption for the personal information and for the actual trusted transaction.

as far as i remember there are lots of possible wallets that you can use to store your Altcoins that i found on the internet.
here are some of the example:

Online Wallet
Mobile Wallets
Desktop Wallets
Hardware Wallet
Paper Wallets
Multisig Wallets
Multicurrency Wallets

you can try doing some research on how those wallets works but as for now i am looking forward on using a Cold wallet since most of the persons i ask on the site advised me to use.

hope i was able to help you man.

A bitcoin wallet is a piece of software that you use to communicate with the bitcoin network and then you can tell a bitcoin network when you want to send or receive transactions. The functioning is similar to email address. It contains public key like an email address and a private key like an email’s password. You can do the transaction by logging into your account. It's highly recommended to keep your private key secure.
