So, i'm just starting out and I got Xapo in order to collect some satoshi to play around with. I was wondering if Xapo is safe to use? It lets me instantly transfer money from faucets to my wallet so I don't have to "collect X amount before cashing out". I've heard that online wallets can be insecure, should I get a safer (desktop?) wallet and transfer what I collect there, or will I be fine using Xapo? Thanks!
The safest way to store your coins is in offline storage where you can control your private keys which is the opposite of xapo and the other online wallets (well some of them give you your private keys), you could loose your money when it turns to gox mod.
I recommend to send what you earn from time to time to a cold storage
