What's the best cryptocurrency wallet that you can trust?
In my opinion it is to print out a paper wallet and store it at home and offline Wink

Paper wallet is not suitable for a daily wallet as it isn't optimal for regular spending and accepting. Paper wallet is not that safe either, compared to digital hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor. There are so many way a paper wallet could get compromised. A piece of paper degrade over time. Paper isn't resistant to water and fire, it could get damaged so easily. Also keep in mind that there's no means of security at all in a paper wallet. If someone somehow got their hand to that wallet, all your balance will be lost.

So my recommendation is to use hardware wallet like Trezor and Ledger. It has a safety mechanism built in to the machine. The software itself will verify whether the hardware system is secure every time you use it. Even if you lost or someone took your hardware wallet, they'll have to guess your PIN before they able to access your wallet. In the meantime, you can access your fund through the backup seed and send your fund to other safe wallet.

I have no problem with blockchain and coinbase, I have used them since I knew about bitcoin. I know nothing is absolutely safe but the amount of bitcoin I have is not enough to evoke greed.

Security wise blockchain is said to be best as also now you have eth and btc to trade as well in case you want to buy/sell or convert it. Also if you are a long term investor then try to save it offline and not online in any of the webwallets.

blockchain is not so safe in my own opinion because blockchain does not require any i.d or phone number for verification not unlike to coinbase and other online wallets that is pretty strict when it comes to security measures .

im not saying blockchain is bad , infact i do also used blockchain aside from my other wallets . i suggest to all is trust only the wallet that is popular like the ones that is mentioned above or the ones that mostly been mentioned on this forum because those wallets are more safe and trusted when compared to unpopular or new ones .

I never heard issues on this wallet before that's the reason I keep trusting into their service.

If you never heard or saw any issues posted related blockchain.com(.info) I wonder if you take your 5-10 seconds of ctrl-F on this section (web wallet) with the keyword of "blockchain", I assure you that most of the complains are from the blockhain.com(.info) wallets.

Sorry mate it's my bad now I've sawed many issues recently about the transactions of web wallet blockchain.com(.info) but it looks like all are resolved problems, so therefore they have a very fast support team to respond in every problem so no need to worries.
Actually, I didn't hold for long-term my bitcoin on that web wallet that is only intended for receiving only, I have my own Ledger wallet that is for long-term purposes in holding my bitcoin and investment as well.

There are some good alternatives, for example, the cold wallets (offline wallets), paper wallets are a good way to stay secured from the internet, but my favorite is to use hardware wallets which are more portable and we can use it for both hot and cold wallet depending on the situations and our needs. There are many different kinds of hardware wallets where some offer some additional features like physical keys to the hardware wallets to manipulate with the device.

Jaxx is a multiplatform multicurrency wallet. The private keys are stored on your device. It has a beautiful UI, is really sleek and easy to use, and has shapeshift built in. What's great about Jaxx is that it supports every major platform. Desktop clients available for Mac, Windows and Linux. Mobile clients available for iOS and android, and hardware wallet support coming soon. Jaxx is completely open source, so you can check exactly what the application is doing. The jaxx team also is actively adding new coins and one of their missions is to "unite" cryptocurrency and offer a platform that is safe, easy to use and has wide support.

For bitcoin wallets I don't have or use many available wallets, for the web I only use blockchain.com and for desktop wallets I only use electrum.
I don't use hardware about this, even though hardware is highly recommended and it will be safer.

There are desktop wallets too if they can't avail to have their own hardware wallet, there's also a good hardware wallet that I'm hearing out and that is KeepKey. Base on those reviews and comments that I've been reading, it's also a good HW choice.

Yes, actually trezor, ledger nano, and keepkey are the big 3 hardware wallets for now, and most of them can be fully trusted only thing is, most users have ledger since its much cheaper than these existing hardware wallets tho I don't know if how much is the ledger now, but on the time I bought it was still 75 Euro. So I'm still in favor of ledger.

I'll go also with hardware wallets. I don't have anything to say and complaints with it but if there are users there that can't avail and has hesitations of purchasing online, you can download electrum.

With online wallet, blockchain.com wallet is also a good one.

And for mobile wallet, I have used coinomi and never had issues with it as well. When I'm trying to reach out the support through their telegram, they responded accordingly.

I agreed on that line I bolded above, I only trust on this site and this is what I am using now in storing in my Bitcoin and Ethereum, so far I trust this online wallet they are good to store. I never heard issues on this wallet before that's the reason I keep trusting into their service.
But, if you can afford to buy hardware wallet why not, that is a very safe wallet in storing all crypto coins you had. Then, if you have a huge amount of Bitcoin may I suggest to buy and hardware wallet just like Ledger Nano and Trezor.

I have few issues with them before and that tested my trust to them on how they are reliable and responsive to the tickets of their users. And so far, they are so good and replies though its not an instant but they are replying not longer for hours.

Mycelium stopped the project long ago now.

Mycelium did have an update this recent days or week I guess about their wallet, and still, segwit is not implemented yet.

[Edit] They currently working on segwit right now I guess https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/920xhe/segwit_support_coming_to_mycellium_android_wallet/

In general, if you really want to have a secure wallet use a wallet where you have the full control of your private key. Some examples of such wallets are hardware wallets like Ledger, KeepKey, and Trezor, and also desktop/modified wallets like Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Armory, MultiBit, Exodus, Copay, and Green Address.

These wallets are so far really no scam or anything with the people whoever save the fund dude.
Then looking around the good coin and it will be fit to the private key secured wallet it will be work fine to keep your fund safe.
I do have the funds on the electrum and coinbase wallets it will be good so far even it is having the hacking possiblities.

I believe electrum, Coinomi bitcoincore and mycelium are the wallet much safer to have your funds.

In this list some of the wallets about find in android and in appstore too. Take the choice upon your convenient but mostly you can see the wallet on Windows version normally. Please check the good one and have the funds at there.

Mycelium stopped the project long ago now. It means you won't have any update, the wallet is obsolete and as for security, it shouldn't be used anymore. It's like using your antivirus with an update old from 2010. It's not a wallet to recommend but rather to avoid.
Having a hardware wallet is by far much safer than all the options you mentioned here

For most trusted definitely you can find the hardware wallets such as ledger nano or trezor wallets mate.

I have bitcoincore and electrum in my desktop to store the project funds but my personal funds are in blockchain wallet in my mobile as a android app. I don't get any issue from the web wallet also so far.
Only thing you need to care with the private key then all will be safe.

Slava Ukraini!

Ledger Nano S is my first choice. For me it's best and safest wallet. It's perfect choice for long term storage, but it's also good for daily use.
On mobile I use Coinomi. It's probably best wallet for smartphones. And I love this wallet because they support huge number of currencies. Best thing that soon their will launch their app for PC's.
I also use Blockchain.com online wallet. It's not my first choice and I don't keep big amounts of BTC there. I keep some BTC only for my daily needs when I need to access my funds fast and easy. As users above said, it's not goid idea to use web wallet as main storage of funds.
And I use Coinbase, lol. Yeah, I know that they aren't Bitcoin wallet at all. But maybe I just feel some sentiments to Coinbase, because it was my first Bitcoin "wallet" Cheesy

. But, guys, don't use Coinbase as wallet. It's just an exchange or so called Bitcoin bank.
