Not your key, not your coin. Yet we are here with so many options presented to us that we are still confused. But with a little bit of research, we can actually HODL wisely and securely on any platform. Our security and privacy is ours to keep safe. Our way of using anything determines its safety and security.
I recommend going with band products when purchasing a hardware wallet. Also, buy it from the official website. I am talking about hardware wallets because those are the safest ones in terms of HODLing. So if anyone has the ability to buy one, never be late.

Then comes software wallets. I have done some research here on this forum and also in other places. Everything suggested me towards Electrum wallet. I have used it and it's quite good as it said in every review. But still, everything depends on how you use it. So DYOR and choose the best.
