It has been some months that I have been in this forum, I have started making arrangements for transacting with Bitcoin in the aspect of buying and storing. I don't have much knowledge of wallet to the extent of knowing a preferable wallet to use for storing my Bitcoin, right now I know that Bitcoin is a valuable asset from my understanding but other people doesn't accept the fact that it is really an asset, so I want to know a good wallet to use for my Bitcoin because I notice that some wallet my friends recommend to me are all exchange kind of wallet and I was told that it's not proper to use an exchange wallet for storing or saving of Bitcoin for a long time. I wish to have more recommendation or articles to read concerning wallets and it's security values but during my research I was recommended to use electrum wallet but I was confused if electrum wallet is an exchange or a custodial wallet, therefore i need a good direction, clarification and update of suitable wallet from senior colleagues.

Make sure to be 100% certain that the place you are downloading your wallet from is not a scam site.Scammers set up websites for people to download a bitcoin or crypto wallet from (especially electrum wallets) and place malware in the wallets so that when you launch the wallet you have downloaded off their scam site it steals your full balance the moment you send coins to it and transfers them to their criminal wallet address.ONLY DOWNLOAD YOUR WALLET FROM THE CORRECT WALLET PROVIDER OR YOU MIGHT LOSE ALL YOUR COINS!

Exactly, always double check what you are clicking since scammers are exerting effort to make a literally same website for you to get scammed. From my experience, it's from a nft project where they have discord channel posted all the legit links for their social account since it will be posted in their social media all the details. But then suddenly their ig account posted already minting so it already fishy but I saw a lot of people already minted more than 10 ETH+. Checked discord and it's confirmed hacked and fake mint.

Also the ads when you click an illegal site which lead you to another tab, it's already a fake. Don't ever get curious to click anything about it cuz it might be drainer and get your private informations.
