  People didn't encrypt wallets, back in the day.

    Sure, but wouldn't you need the key to sign a transaction to move/use the coins?

      A bitcoin wallet is just a collection of private keys.

        And that's why it's so important to encrypt them. And for wallets controlling huge amounts, to keep them offline. Air-gapped, I mean.
