Hello friends!
I have been keeping my cryptocurrencies (I still don't have many, unfortunately) on the Binance exchange.
What type of virtual wallet do you use? And what are the best ways for me to keep my cryptocurrencies safe?
Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, but even though I reasonably understand crypto, I'm still taking my first steps with bitcoin.
That depends on the cryptocurrency that you wish to hold. For Bitcoin, I would suggest using Electrum. It really is the best (or at least in the top 3) as rated by this community. As far as other cryptocurrencies go, you should avoid closed source wallets like Trustwallet (ironically one wallet that you should not trust). And avoid anything which is custodial. So as long as the wallet is open source, people can poke at it and find its weaknesses. To me, that seems a way better way of pentesting your code then getting vetted by some security audit company.
But a lot of people seem to strive toward Metamask.
