Hello everyone.

I want to know which are safest wallets to store/Hold our bitcoin ?

Thank you

Eventough this question has been asked several times before, it's to important not to answer it this time:

From safest to least/safe (imho)
  • [SAFEST] Latest version of bitcoin core, nonhd, on an airgapped pc running an up-to-date linux distro. Make sure you use encryption, and make sure you backup the wallet.dat on an offline device
  • [REALLY SAFE] Latest version of electrum on an airgapped pc running an up-to-date linux distro. Make sure you keep the seed phrase safe! I'd suggest encrypting the seed just in case somebody finds it
  • [REALLY SAFE] Properly generated paper wallet, bip38 encrypted, generated using a strong RNG on an offline machine, printed on an offline printer
  • [REALLY SAFE] A hardware wallet, i personally have a ledger and a trezor, both work fine... Just keep them regularly updated and make sure you store the seed in a safe place
  • [RELATIVELY SAFE] A recent desktop wallet on a clean PC, only use wel-vetted open source wallets tough! And make sure you download them from the correct place!
  • [UNSAFE] An online wallet (this includes blockchain.info)
  • [REALLY RISKY] Using an exchange/gambling site/... as a wallet

Next time, use the search function tough!

Assuming that you're planning to spend them in a regular basis, the best option would be a hardware wallet (Trezor or Ledger nano S), the second safest option (long term storage) is a paper wallet;
