Reliable electronic wallet

What wallet would you recommend to save the bitcoins?

 

[IlyesPoke]

Ledger Wallet is the best.

Depends on the volume/purpose. If its an investment and you plan to hold onto the coins for a while then a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano S is 100% the way to go.

If it's just a small volume of coins for paying for services etc then I recommend Electrum. Been using it for years.

If they're mid-long term investment, use hard wallet like ledger nano s.
If they're short term investment, use wallet provided by blockchain.info.
The answer also depends on the amount you want to save. If its more than 1btc, ledger nano s is the best recommendation whether long or short term.

Ledger Nano S or Trezor.

No idea to look anywhere else. I won Ledger Nano S, invaluable for ERC20 tokens.

Blockchain.info if you're looking to just keep a few BTC on hand.

JAXX is good as well, it supports quite a lot coins.

Their charge a bit too much for transactions though

Depends if you want to go for online wallets, hardware wallets or the cold storage. Ledger nano is definitely one of the best as a hardware wallet.

Oh, I didn't know that, apart from the hardware wallets they were online.

What are those online wallets?

Something that will get hacked eventually.

Something that will get hacked eventually.

That means that, being online they are more vulnerable to such threats.

Or maybe what you want to say is that these online wallets will no longer exist?

The former.

Unless you have an actual hardware control like ledger nano s or trezor or yubikey, you will always be a possible hack target. Check the latest myetherwallet hack that happened a month ago.

I understand, that's why everyone recommends it be hardware.

I'll take a look at that trick.. Ty btw
