Things To Remember
- A hot wallet is internet-connected and convenient — a cold wallet is offline and more secure.
- Custodial wallets (exchanges) are easier but you don't hold your own keys.
- Non-custodial wallets give you full control but full responsibility.
- For large or long-term holdings, a hardware wallet is strongly recommended.
