- You can start with a cheap one to see if it’s right for you. The way their systems work and some advanced functionalities vary a lot, so there’s no need to commit to an expensive one in the beginning. Jade, Trezor and Ledger have inexpensive options to start with.
- Bitcoin wallets come in two types: hot wallets (connected to the internet) and cold wallets (disconnected for added security). Cold wallets can be connected briefly for balance check or sending transactions, like Coldcard.
- The keys or seed words are crucial for accessing bitcoin. Store them in a safe place. Hardware wallets provide the highest level of security. Consider Coinkite Coldcard, Bitbox02 Bitcoin Only Edition, Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, Trezor Model One, Trezor Model T, and Blockstream Jade.
- Software wallets are easy to use and free to download. Check out Muun, Wallet of Satoshi, Breez, Blockstream Green, and Phoenix Wallet.
- For a DIY option, create your own hardware wallet using open-source software and the right parts. Projects like Seedsigner and running Blockstream software on your own device offer this option.
Remember, prioritize security based on your use case.
