Storing #Bitcoin vs gold

So shiny though! 🤗
That's a signing device.
A signing device is like a debit card with a microchip.
Why there is no such thing as a "wallet":
The big difference isn’t in the wallets, but in their contents. The modern wallet contains ATM/debit cards. It’s no coincidence that ATM/debit cards entered the market around the same time as machine-readable standards enabled a transformation from physical to electronic money.
The more we rely on electronic money of whatever kind, the less we rely on wallets. The quantity of electronic money out there now outstrips physical money by about 20:1, and each card in the modern wallet can contain balances dozens of times greater than the antique wallet could hold.
