Bitcoin is a proof-of-work (PoW) cryptocurrency, which means that it relies on miners to secure the network and validate transactions. Staking is a mechanism used by proof-of-stake (PoS) cryptocurrencies to secure the network and earn rewards. However, Ledger is a popular hardware wallet that can be used to securely store your Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
