I saw in a video that the person was using something he called bridge wire to solder a pcb with.
I was wondering what kind if wire is used as a bridge to do the connection between components?
Here are 2 screenshots of what I was thinking of.

A crimp is usually used inside heaters for connecting nichrome wire to other metal parts or wires. Since it can get hot, you'd need a bare metal (not plastic coated) butt crimp.
Its a very reliable method if you use the right tool and a very poor method if you make-do with pliers and brute force. With the right tool, the two metals in a crimped bond are actually cold-welded together, forming a gas-tight bond. Other connection methods (including soldering without sufficient flux) may leave oxide layers or admit oxygen which can affect conduction and mechanical strength.
The "right tool" is the ratchet crimp tool recommended by the manufacturer for the particular crimp and wire. Ratchet tools ensure that the correct pressure is applied before they release (unless you use the emergency release lever which is only meant in case of trapped fingers). As opposed to a pair of pliers, which may under or overcrimp the part, not shape the crimp correctly, slip off etc. Ratchet crimp tools can and should be calibrated.
If there are holes in pins - you can put piece of uninsulated copper wire inside and jam it hard with aluminium foil ball/balls.

It is what is known as BTC an abbreviation for Bare Tinned Copper and is available by the reel. It is single strand for ease of use in getting it through the holes in the breadboard.
