For security, ease of use, durability over time, there are several wallets available:
- Types of wallets- Paper wallet
- Web wallet
- Mobile wallet
- Desktop wallet
- Hardware wallet
A wallet secures your coins.
The exchange is not safe, your coins are in danger,
"if you don't have your keys, you don't have your bitcoins", don't trust exchanges.
If you think the exchanges are safe, I invite you to visit this thread to convince you otherwise >

Some of the most recognized wallets:
- Desktop- Bitcoin Core
- Electrum
- Wasabi
- Hardware- Trezor
- Ledger
- KeepKey
- Coldcard
- MobileMy favorite wallet, is the Bitcoin Core desktop wallet, is very easy to use and at the same time, allows you to maintain a Full Node to contribute to the Bitcoin network, in my case it works 24/7 and also because I consider it very safe.
I do not rule out buying a hardware wallet one day, but for the moment not, maybe with the answers of this thread someone manages to convince me, we will see...
>>> Go ahead, what is your favorite wallet and why?
To save coins for a long time, it is better to use a paper wallet.
But hardware wallet is best since downloading blockchain in the future is not a good idea.
If I use permanent transfers, then I will choose electrum, for its mobility which allows me to use the wallet on my computer and phone.
