My very first crypto wallet was Metamask, and it's still my go-to today. I mostly use it for the Ethereum and BNB chains, so it just makes sense. Don't get me wrong, I think Trust Wallet and Phantom are fantastic too, but I just don't use them as often. I guess it comes down to a feeling of trust and satisfaction with what I know.
Yeah, you're right about that feeling of trust and satisfaction. Different strokes for different folks. I prefer Trust Wallet to Metamask. My preference stems from the fact that Metamask isn't beginners' friendly like TW is. As for wallet security, I don't rate Metamask above TW. For me, there isn't any difference in that regard. As for whether I would buy a Metamask token if listed, I don't think so. But I can trade it if there's evidence it can attract volume of trades.
If Metamask had created its token when it was in vogue after the collapse of MEW – MyEtherWallet, it would've gained more patronage than what it's having now where its popularity has been challenged by other crypto wallets.
