Hi,

We everytime see new products coming with the term: WALLET, and this one is the most used in the cryptocurrency world !

When we see PURSE is less used.

What is the real difference to favorite WALLET than PURSE ?

I can't tell If you're being serious or not but a wallet is usually used to store credit cards or money while a purse can be used for other items and since bitcoin is considered as a currency (money) It make more sense to use the word wallet.

Actually I wants to know your real intentions behind this question that why are asking but for your concern, prose is a thing where we use to put our valuable things and casual things as well whereas on the other hand wallet is a word used when we are talking about money , currency, credit and debit cards etc so more precisely speaking Walker is used for keeping our confidential economical things safe so I guess that is why word wallet is used with bitcoin not purse.

Purse may be gents purse or ladies purse.  Though gents purse mostly kept in pocket containing cash and or cards but ladies purse may contain small mirror; cosmetics; one comb etc etc  ;D
Wallet has not such distinction; it is neither ladies nor gents (I think).  And it is not used to keep other articles as purse can be used to keep.  So wallet is used to keep currency notes; debit credit cards; driving license etc and bitcoin / crypto being another digital form of currency and for keeping this currency it the word wallet is used ; I think it is more appropriate.
Though you may use the word purse for you if it gives pleasure to you
 ;)

This is because Purse is feminine while Wallet is masculine. Do not forget that the globe is a Man's World. Whether we admit it not, malechavenism rules the world.

This should answer your question:

>A wallet is smaller than a purse and can fit inside a purse.
>A wallet is a small flat case designed to hold cash, credit cards and identification documents such as driver’s licence, etc. a purse apart from holding currency also carries other paraphernalia such as a woman’s personal items, etc.
>A purse is a fashion accessory that has been fashionably designed. A wallet is more practical and convenience based.

Because i think WALLET is more appropriate for digital term. If we use purse its very conventional and out dated term. Also wallet term is more widely accepted.

And that`s why cryptocurrencies might fail to conquer the world.Because females don`t use them.
They are too much NERD stuff and a little bit complicated for the ladies.
By the way,the word purse is used in purse.io,which is a popular platform,that can be used to buy amazon products with crypto.

That's a good answer. But I think the OP has also revealed a gender bias. It could have been called a purse just as easily. What does this tell us about Satoshi?


I have said too much.    :-X

Well, Because purse and wallet are not same thing. A purse is a fashion item. There are two types of purse gents purse and women purse. Purse can be used as a wallet also. So you can see that Wallet is the universal word for storing your credit.
