Currently I am using MEW (MyEtherWallet) to hold my ETH and ERC20 tokens
I hold my BTC with CoinBase and SpectroCoin but I am looking around for a different wallet, one which charge lower fee.

A lot of altcoins have their own web wallets which you can download on their website. You can also use paper wallets or leave your coins at the exchange. I would advise against leaving your coins on exchanges though because they can be targeted by hackers and you risk losing all your coins. It is best to store them on your computer itself and buy a good antivirus VPN program. Unfortanetly, a wallet that holds all types of crypto coins is nto availabel as of yet.

I am using only MEW as I am holding only ETH and other ERC20 tokens.

for the remaining coins like Ripple I have small quantity only so I am keeping it in exchanges for fast sell.

Hi OP, I don’t like web-based wallets because as you should know most of them hold your private keys, so nothing will hold them back to steal your coins, besides if the site gets hacked you could lose your coins as well. I haven’t try any multi-coin wallet yet, I just use electrum and electrum-ltc for BTC and litecoin, respectively; and for monero although it’s a web-based wallet mymonero, but in this case you own the wallet’s seed.

All the wallets that have been mentioned are fine, just be sure you always have access to your private key, for example, when contributing to an ICO never contribute from an exchange wallet ( you are not in control of the private keys )

Hi

 ::)New to the crypto world. which wallet do you recommend for beginners? this for both bitcoins and altcoins? how many wallets should you have to have for tradings?  Huh Huh

many thanks

For beginners, i would either recommend you to use Bitcoin Core, https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/  , or even more noob-friendly, Electrum. https://electrum.org/#home

For both bitcoin and altcoin, you could try something like Exodus https://www.exodus.io/releases/

This would depend, you can choose to keep all your altcoin funds in the exchange, which is not so secure, or you can use the wallet specified by the developers of the altcoin. ( If it it isn't support by say Exodus).

Always be wary to check the wallet of viruses, if it is a relatively unknown altcoin. Developers tend to hide them in these files sometimes.

Never use something like blockchain.info, as you will be missing alot of features, including direct access to your private keys, RBF transactions, and CPFP transactions.

If you want to trade crypto you just create wallet in any exchange where listing coin or token that needed trading.
Also you can use web wallet Blockchain.info use store your Bitcoin. For Ethereum or tokens are generated based on Ethereum smartcontract you can use myetherwallet.com to store it.

Exodus, Coinomi, Jaxx are all options for multi-coin wallets but it really depends on what you're trading, you could need other wallets If the one I mentioned don't support what you're looking for.
