If you are seriously interested in crypto, you should have hardware wallet.
DO NOT BUY hardware wallet from Ebay, amazon, etc...
Buy it directly from the site. I will find tomorrow best hardware wallets and share with you. I have Ledger Nano S and everyone should have one because it is not smart to hold all money on exchanges especially on 1 exchange.
I will explain tomorrow why it is not recommended to buy from Ebay or Amazon!
I like your posts! And I'm totally on your side to buy a Ledger Nano S or hardware wallet! It's way more safe and can't be hacked! Especially for the long term you need to make sure your coins are safe! Not sure if you heard about NEM being hacked but that's a perfect example for getting one of those devices!
Yeap you are right all the way Nano and Trezor are the best if you buy them directly from their official sites
