Recently I've heard someone's speech about keeping BTC on the exchange is not safe. But the same thing may be fair to other types of wallets it's all about the pros and cons, isn't it?
There must be a comparison based on the number of incidents, statistics, etc.
I mean, ok, let's consider
this article as a detailed guide for different types of wallets there's an explanation, principles of working, advantages and disadvantages but how do you actually know, which wallet will be safe? How did you choose your current wallet?
Where do you keep crypto? Have you ever been stolen?
I have not personally experienced this situation like i lost my btc and i am thankful for this that it never happended with me.But i have heard from others like they deposit their btc in exchange and are unable to withdraw them due to scams or hackers attacking their online wallets and have access to private keys and btc are lost forever.So its better to preserve your coins in cold storage where no one have access to because its really hurt when you suffer this situation.So be safe as scams are always there.
