Hack and Hacks, every day I am waking up to the news of crypto exchanges getting hacked, recently a crypto exchanges founder died and he seem to have a hold of
$190 million worth of BitCoins with him.I have taken a pledge of never using a custodial exchanges, even if it is Binance, and not matter how much CZ says that he will keep the cryptos SAFU, I am not doing the mistake of keeping my money at stake.
I did a detailed study of what exchanges to use and what wallets to use -
- Exchanges - Instant exchanges only, Changelly, ChangeNow, CoinSwitch etc.
- Wallets - Divided into two parts - Ledger NANO S for long term investment, and keeping the funds safe, MultiCurrency wallet for trading, ex - Gaurda Wallet, Exodus Wallet
Let me know what you guys think.
I think using hard wallet like ledger nano is a good option to storing your coins safely.
Exchanges are not immune to be hacked, always withdraw your coins if you have much coins there.
Otherwise, your coins could be hacked like the recent hack occurred in cryptopia exchange.
