And what are the best ways for me to keep my cryptocurrencies safe?
Apart from Bitcoin, you didn't mention which other cryptocurrencies are part of your portfolio, but ideally, you should pick an "
open-source hardware wallet [with "secure element and "reproducible builds (it doesn't mean it's completely safe, but it's a good starting point)"]" that supports all of them.
The choice between less bad and cheap would be the Trezor model 1.
You have a point, but considering that it has started not to receive important updates, I'd go with the next best thing
[Trezor Safe 3] that's superior to the older Model One.
