How to Set Up a Bitcoin Wallet for Thunderbolt

You’re ready to play smarter. You’ve heard about crypto. Now it’s time to actually use it.
The first step? Set up a Bitcoin wallet. Once that’s done, you’ll have full control over how you move your money.

What Is a Bitcoin Wallet?

A Bitcoin wallet is where your digital currency lives. It stores your Bitcoin, gives you access to your balance, and allows you to send and receive funds securely.

When you set one up, you’ll get a private key or recovery phrase—this is your one and only way to recover your wallet if needed. Keep it private. Keep it safe.
