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?

Honestly, i have never experienced losing my funds or bitcoin because i keep all of my funds in a safe place, and i am using a ledger which is a hardware wallet that you can also used it through offline, that is why it will be difficult for hackers to access in this kind of wallet.

It seems to me that storing cryptocurrency on the exchange, as the previous user spoke about, is a completely wrong act. This is very dangerous, because today cryptocurrency exchanges are often subjected to hacker attacks. Nevertheless, there is always a certain amount of funds on exchanges, especially if a person is involved in cryptocurrency trading and these funds are always at risk. But for example, the Binanse exchange has a certain fund with which it can cover all expenses associated with the theft of funds from a hacker attack. And I also want to say something that you can never be 100% sure of safety. I had not been worried about Myetherwallet before, because I considered this fortress impregnable. But once, all the money was stolen from my wallet and I dont know how it happened. No one could get my passwords, secret key and file key. This is unambiguous. But the fact remains that someone got access to my wallet.
