I'm new here ~ I want to invest in bitcoin for the long term
~
tell me a wallet to use that is safe and easy to use
This is a risky combination. I've seen people make all kinds of unnecessary mistakes, like entering their seed phrases on website and lose their money. I've seen people
send Bitcoin to the wrong address because of malware. No wallet is safe if you make mistakes.
This is actually a great suggestion! Many of us have made some stupid mistakes or witnessed some stupid mistakes that newbies make and lose their money. OP, if you are not sure about what you are doing, it is better to refrain from investing big money in bitcoin. Start small.
