What's the best crypto wallet?

[Trump_Coiner]

I use blockchain, but I don’t like it. There are too many bugs! Once, I couldn’t even see my full balance, and it took me up to 5 days with support chats to get my money back. They also don’t offer enough swap functions and have too few coins to choose from. The saddest part is that when I check my balance on the independent blockchain service, I don’t actually see my full balance. I assume this means the rest of the money doesn’t belong to me but to the site and their internal wallet.

Mate, never use custodial wallets like blockchain.com - you're basically trusting them with your keys. No wonder you can't see your full balance on-chain. Try Metamask or Trust Wallet if you want actual control of your crypto. Been in the game since 2017 and learned this lesson the hard way lol

@IamNew a custodial wallet is when the exchange/platform holds your private keys. Like having your money in a bank vs. your own safe. Non-custodial = you control the keys = your crypto. Simple rule: "Not your keys, not your coins"
Quick recommendations:
Hardware: Ledger/Trezor
Mobile: Trust Wallet/Exodus
Desktop: Metamask/Phantom (for SOL)

ledger all the way!!! lost 2 eth in a metamask hack last year... never touching hot wallets for serious amounts again

 

[CryptoNeed]

dont listen to the hardware wallet maxis lol... been using metamask for 3 years, never had issues. just dont click random links or share your seed phrase. simple

The real answer depends on what you're trying to do. Trading? Hot wallet is fine. Long-term holding? Get a cold wallet. Using DeFi? Need both...

For swaps, just connect your wallet to 1inch or similar DEX aggregator. way better rates than any built-in swap function

gamestop wallet??? bro what year do you think it is that project's been dead since the zkevm boom. stick to metamask + arbitrum for low fees

 

[CryptoDada]

Going against the grain here but MultiSig is the way. Yeah its more complex but worth it if ur holding serious amounts. Saved my *** when one of my devices got compromised last month

@Timmy98 You don't stake "on" the Ledger - you stake through a platform while your keys stay secure on the Ledger. Check out Lido or Rocketpool. Here's what you need to do:
1. Connect Ledger to Metamask
2. Go to Lido/Rocketpool
3. Connect wallet
4. Follow staking process

Just MAKE SURE you're on the right website. Lots of fake staking sites out there

Current gas fees are insane tho... paid $43 just to move eth to my ledger yesterday Anyone know if gas usually lower on weekends?

 

[sk8er]

Friendly reminder to all the newbies: NEVER EVER share your seed phrase. No matter who asks. Not support, not wallet team, NOBODY. Lost my first wallet that way in 2021 to a "metamask support" scammer

 

[coinhunter]

[Fjodor]

source: trust me bro? its open source, check the code yourself instead of spreading fud

 

[BTCat]

Since nobody mentioned it - if you're only holding BTC, BlueWallet is pretty solid. Open source, good security, clean UI. But yeah, get a hardware wallet if you're holding more than a month's salary

Remember when we all thought blockchain,com was amazing in 2017? crypto wallets really evolved since then
