Can Someone Explain "Wallets" Please?

I was at a bar on Sunday and some dude was chatting me up about how he's all into crypto. So we got to talking and I was bitching about how our company pays cheap and he's like how much? Then he asked me for a job lolhaie said:

Do not use them. The end.Sources said:If you really want to understand wallets, understanding public and private keys is helpful. I think people generally underestimate how ubiquitous encryption is these days.
I trust @haie . Q: do you have to have a wallet to buy crypto? Or are the trading platforms otherwise available?
I understand block chain but do not mess with crypto atm.
Like the above poster said, if crypto wallets just go off of RSA or some other private/public set up, that is a decent starting point. Tons of articles explain that really well.
My general thought was to not trust mobile app security and have as few apps installed as possible. It's not that security isn't implemented correctly initially so much as irresponsible/constant changes in software are not worth the convenience of most apps.
As to your actual question I would use Coinbase assuming they have a web app you can use on a desktop.
Guess I should read the thread next time.
That's what I think of crypto bros. -
This week, I just fired a 20 year .NET dev who commanded 92k. We are being cool and are trying to get him his old job back, but still.Pitchfork51 said:

We matched his previous employer, who was apparently doing shitty and having to cut across their company.BennyBeaver said:

I don't think people making $92k are "commanding" anything.

That's correct. He was a friend of our VP so I wasn't allowed to give him any kind of an aptitude test. We are trying to get him his old job back.BennyBeaver said:I don't think people making $92k are "commanding" anything.

If I was making less than 100k after 20 years (let alone as a dev), I wouldn't want to work either. Entry level FAANG in the Bay is easily over 150k plus equity.haie said:

True, but one fiddy in the Bay is like poverty level.Sources said:
