So-called Hot and Cold Crypto Wallets seem to cause a lot of confusion to a lot of people, perhaps because they are so badly named?
In this video I try and analogise these devices for reporting blockchain balances and authorising blockchain transactions via a couple of simply analogies that I personally found useful in structuring my own understanding.

04:11 So what IS a Hot Wallet then?
05:17 Extending the analogy to public and private keys
07:56 Why Cold Wallets are even LESS wallets than Hot Wallets!
08:28 A great way to simply visualise how Hot and Cold Wallets work
13:03 How a Hot Wallet signs a transaction using the joke/punchline analogy
14:15 How a Cold Wallet protects your "comedian"
16:30 Summing Up
