I am 19 years old man living in South Korea.
I want to invest in bitcoin for rest of my life, and I have 0.002 btc now. I want to keep it safe forever.
Someone told me that exchange is not safe because exchange can be hacked by hackers.
I am using software wallet called 'electrum'. I downloaded it from the official website 'electrum.org'
Is this safe wallet?
Sorry, I am not fluent in english. Please understand me.
Like most users have correctly said, Electrum wallet comes highly recommended, it open source and it has many eyes looking through the codes. However, you have a big part to play in keeping your Bitcoin safe. Write you seed phrase on a piece of paper and keep it safe. Don't take a screenshot of your seed phrase, don't save it on your phone, mail or cloud storage. I could go on with more "don'ts", but if you can set up the electrum wallet in an airgapped device, that would be perfect.
