I am completely new to this business, but have already used some exchanges. Many of them turned out to be dishonest. Where do you store your bitcoins?
What exchange becomes dishonest? Can you share with us here?
The above was right and I tend to agree with, a hardware wallet is the best option for storing Bitcoin in a long run. But did you know that I'm using a different wallet now. I have a cold storage wallet which is a hardware wallet, this wallet is intended for long-term saving/storing my Bitcoin that no one knows even my family. The second one is they called it a hot wallet, I used Electrum for the hot wallet that every month nor weeks I've to make transaction sending it into my local wallet which is if I want to cash out my Bitcoin into fiat.
I know it sounds paranoid but will understand if you valued your crypto assets and keep them safe.
BTW, for the right link of Electrum here it is.
