Hot vs cold crypto wallet?

Ah yes
With your logic
I can use any wallet as long as i "delete keys" off my device right :) ?

If you knew as much crypto as you think you do, we wouldn't be having this convo

Even exodus says it's an hot wallet.

Yes it's a hot wallet. Once you delete it from your device then it becomes NO wallet. As in, there is no wallet connected to the internet, there is no offline storage of the private keys either. A 3rd party app that connects you to the blockchain is not present on the disk space. Do you understand? Or should I fire up Chat GPT and ask it to break it down for children for easier comprehension.

so i can start on Exodus, add 1 btc ,take my seed phrase, unistall Exodus and then with this seed phrase go and install Coinbase Wallet and get access to my 1 btc?

Well it depends on the type of wallet you use, they are not all compatible. Exodus uses a BIP39 standard for their seed phrase, so you will be able to restore it on any of these wallets: BIP39 Wallet List - Mnemonic Seed Phrase (Updated 2023) – Blockplate

You can run some tests to recover using your seed phrase on different platforms to confirm that they do indeed work with each other.
 
I bought a Ledger wallet a few years ago. If I were to buy one today I might've chosen a different one but I don't care enough to make the change.

That's not how hot wallets work ;)
deleting it just removes it's access point from your device while it is still an online wallet that can be access from other entry points provided they can get what they need.

Maybe for you it's an poor man cold wallet? lol

This is why cold wallets are always recommend for storing large amounts of crypto due being designed having an offline nature

But it's ok
continue the copium

edge tweaking chromium to make edge doesn't make edge not an chromium browser.
you just taking extra steps to protect your assets doesn't change the fact your wallet is still an hot wallet

I don't think you understand that hot wallets and cold wallets are the same in terms of connecting to the blockchain and the only difference is that one is connected to the internet while the other isn't. That is why you can recover your coins on a cold wallet that were first deposited on a hot wallet, and vice versa.

But for my own amusement I fired up Chat GPT so that any other reader may learn from this exchange, since you are clearly refusing to.

ChatGPT tried its very best to make you understand this simple hot vs cold discussion, why a deleted wallet can't be called a hot wallet, and you still didn't get it :(

Perhaps when OpenAI comes out with GPT-5, it'll be able to draw out pictures and graphs for you. I hear some people learn better that way

want to specify, if a derivation path of a wallet differs from the original one but also with BIP39 - it could be a problem?
 
Hot wallet for transactions (small amount) and cold wallet for storage (big amount).
 
cold for storage [backup keys/ seeds securely - heck memorize them if you aren't messing around]
hot for regular transactions.
 
Learn to use a ledger, and move coins to a seperate non-custodial when you want to interact with smart contracts/apps etc. Lowers your chances of getting hacked.
