🔐 Storing BTC: Cold Wallet vs Hot Wallet


Hot wallet: connected to the internet, convenient for daily trading, but more vulnerable to hacking
Cold wallet: offline (hardware wallet), safer for long-term storage
Rule of thumb: don't store all your BTC on an exchange. "Not your keys, not your coins."

Haven’t there been enough lessons from exchange blowups? Controlling your own private keys is the right way.

Cold wallets are the best—I’ve already bought three hardware wallets to spread out the risk.

The phrase “Not your keys, not your coins” should be etched into your very lungs.

I keep half on Ledger and half on Trezor—I don’t put all my eggs in one basket.

First Review
Use a hot wallet for the short term and cold storage for the long term—this combination is solid.
