Of course you do really need a crypto wallet because if not, then where are you planning to store up your cryptocurrencies? Crypto wallets are working just like our wallet in the real world which is used for storing up our money but in terms of a crypto wallet, it is used to store up the cryptocurrencies we do have to keep it safe and secure. Since we are all working into cryptocurrency job, we all of course do need to have our own crypto wallet which we all be different when it comes to what crypto wallet we do prefer for storing up our assets. Some likes it to be in an online wallet for easy access since trading cryptocurrencies is being done online so that from your online wallet, you can transfer up the funds into the exchange you prefer then after that back to the wallet to keep up the asset you have traded. Well as for me, I prefer to use offline wallet which is a hardware waller like Trezor to keep my funds safe from hackers since we all know that in an online world, every information we share can be exposed from those hackers out there. So to be able to keep my cryptos safe and secure, I use hardware wallets than online wallets.

There are many types of wallet also, some are specific to a certian blockchain like XLM, ETH and so on while some isn't specific to any blockchain coins that is to say, it can be used to store varieties of coins easily. Some can be accessed via the website as well as mobile app in the case of XLM and some are easily accessible via mobile application. Also, every crypto wallet is secured by a private key or whichever the creators aims to use thus in some cases  a mnemonic phrases.

A cryptocurrency wallet enables a trader to get bitcoins and different coins, store them, and afterward send them to different brokers. A crypto-trader must think about a wallet as an interface to the Bitcoin ecosystem, like how web based financial record is an interface to the standard money related framework. Wallets contain private keys; mystery codes that empower traders to spend certain coins. In actuality, it's not coins that should be put away and verified, since the private keys are the ones that offers access to them. To put it plainly, crypto or Bitcoin wallet is basically an application, site, or gadget that oversees private keys for the trader

As found in  KuCoin's instances of crypto wallets, there is a wallet out there for each sort of crypto investor: from informal investors, holding many various coins that need consistent access to their assets, to the holder that once in a while check their holdings. The most significant thing in finding a crypto wallet is analyzing the requirements, desires and figuring out which wallet best suits a you as a trader. Finding the correct wallet is the first and maybe the most significant thing in dicovering the monetary and profitability system of crypto and digital asset industry

The wallet that is used to store our coins or tokens and we who hold the control of private keys or seed words, I think is important to have. Storing coins or tokens in the wallet exchanger is quite risky and the exchanger is always the target of hackers. There are wise words, not your private coin is not your coin and I think these words are correct.

in my opinion the wallet is not only something to be careful in choosing because all the sets that we have in this crypto will be stored in it in the short or long term. but often we underestimate the security of every wallet, and when they lose their assets due to hacking they get angry and blame their wallet and development. so you better choose first before using it, find out all the advantages and disadvantages of the wallet you will use. honestly until now I still use myetherwallet and I have never found a case of hacking on this wallet. with a level of security that I feel is safe and easy when we will access it.

Stay away from web based wallet aka online wallets, they can easily get hacked and make sure you treat your wallet/private key as you treat bank account and ATMs
That should be a preventive action but as long as you can take your privatekey and that's also not a big problem. Just always try to use wallet that created by a trusted party and i have been using some web wallets for years and i never got a serious problem with it. You should not feel panic about that because it depends on how good we are maintaining to secure our private data.

Cryptocurrencies are like the numerous places that you can store your cryptocurrencies in. There are two wallets in general and that is the hardware wallet and the software wallet. I would prefer you save your funds on a hardware wallet like Trezor, Keepkey, Ledger Nano S etc. Software wallets can be used for sometime but do not save huge funds on it because it can be hacked at any point in time.

First and foremost, not only traders stores cryptocurrencies, every users in the crypto space, be it an investor, holder or trader can easily store their desired cryptocurrencies. A crypto wallet is like a savings account with private keys, mnemonic phrases etc which is used to store cryptocurrencies; in this case, the private keys gives the creator of such wallet complete and personal access to the account. In addition, every user in the crypto space needs a crypto wallet.
Also, there are many multi-purpose wallets or multi-coin wallets nowadays, that is, wallets which can be used to store various coins be it Ethereum, Bitcoin and so on, these wallets are Enjin wallet, Atomic wallet, Trust wallet and so on. Therefore whether the person is a newbie, an investor or trader, with these wallets they can find their way around the crypto space. In the same way, it is important to know how to save the private keys of wallets and good a thing most wallets makes it mandatory to save or note down the mnemonic phrases etc before creating the wallet.
I wouldn't call a crypto wallet a "savings account". The term itself is kinda misleading in many ways. A savings bank account contains your savings in the account, but in case of crypto currency wallet, the coins itself aren't inside the wallet. The wallet only contains the public and private keys that lets you make transactions and verifies you as the owner.
Not sure how much secure multicoin wallets are, but would always recommend using wallets provided and suggested by the developer of the coins themselves. Avoid using third party wallets with no reputation. Or a wallet where you don't have access to your own private keys.

Actually before you even think of holding any crypto it is wise to first know the type of wallet you need. Secondly, you have to take into account the different security measures which needs to be taken to ensure control of your assets. For some wallet, you can only store a certain type of assets, that is, a particular wallet can support only ERC tokens, while another can support only BTC, at the same time, there are others which are known as multi wallet, that is, they support varieties of tokens and coins such as ERC, BTC, BNB etc. Therefore, it can be seen that every wallet needed is dependent on the type of cryptocurrency you want to invest in or hold.

Crypto wallet is a intangible, digital sort of wallet specifically designed to keep cryptocurrencies. Blockchain wallet is mostly to store BTC and MEW for ETH and ERC-20 tokens. Cryptocurrencies can also be kept on cryptoexchanges but cryptowallets are much safer and highly recommended.

Web wallets are indeed harmful but it always depend on the person using it. I like usi gweb wallet and never been got hacked or compromised just by using this.

You are right. Hardware wallets are the most safest and useful in many traders. But did you know that they can also get hacked just like the old guy?, of course still can it doesnt mean hardware wallet are already vulnerable to this attack what are those expensive defense mecha?

If youre going to use it for buying and selling then there is no need to such and painful methodology for this. Web wallets can be used and still good bro.


There is no safe on the internet, all can still be hacked, it's just that we as users must be able to minimize the incident and frequently update information about the wallet. Security and convenience are very important, I also often use web wallet and always be careful when I want to log in or send crypto.

Wallets are nothing but storage to store your cryptocurrencies. There are services provided by exchanges as well as core wallet providers. Looking at the security part offline wallets are most secured because they can not be hacked. These are often called as hardware wallets.

The first part about cryptocurrency wallet is explained well but you should have also added other things like there are two kinds of crypto wallets in the market. The first one is hot wallet like mobile wallet, exchange wallet or web wallets. The second one are known as cold wallet like desktop wallet and hardware wallet.

Apart from sending and receiving cryptocurrency you can also use these wallets to buy cryptocurrency, exchange them and also use them for staking
