Hey, I’m just getting into crypto and want to store some Bitcoin safely. Can someone recommend a good beginner-friendly wallet?

I just think of another point for you.

Please don't confuse about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency (altcoins). You must store your bitcoin only in Bitcoin wallets. If you have altcoins, store your altcoins in other wallets that are used for altcoins only. Never store both bitcoin and altcoins in a same wallet because with altcoins, you can interact with altcoins' scam smart contract. If your wallet is hacked, you will lose both bitcoin and altcoins.

Separating Bitcoin and altcoins in different wallets will reduce risk and help you managing your capital better.

Yes you are right, having your bitcoin in a separate BTC wallet is safer than mixing your Bitcoin with altcoins, I call such wallet multi wallet but where I don't agree with you is the better management of capital.

There are air gapped wallets today that users can store both Bitcoin and altcoins on, and yes they are very easy to manage all together, I think you over exaggerated your point on that part.

I will rather just advice people to not use their main wallet to claim any free altcoins or engage in any airdrops, either its mobile wallet or hardware wallet, but I can't agree more that BTC wallet is safer as a standalone because there is nothing to claim holding Bitcoin.

Unlike so many shitcoins and their fake freebies out there that's been used to lure beginners.
