what is the best wallet?

for which coin?
online?
cold storage?
multicoin?

explain better please

before answering this question we need have infromation about your coins, your holding type and etc.
so; please determine:
1- witch coins do you have
2- do you want to hold your coins online or offline
3- do you want to keep your coins for long term or short term?

but in general:

If you want to hold your coins for long term, you can use offline wallets.
the main wallet for each coins is the best wallet for example for BTC you must download the special wallet and hold this wallet dedicate from your main pc.

The best wallet for beginners like you is the one that offers more options. The Coinomi multi-coin HD wallet can hold over 102 coins and all existing ERC20 tokens. https://coinomi.com/

If you don't have any money you can buy differents money on platform exchange and they keep you cash. We can find multi-wallet too.

I do not know what kind of currency you mean, and what kind of wallet you want. For each coin you have a designated wallet. You can use either a wallet to exchange where you can trade your capital. Or you have a client for that currency and create a wallet address there.
You can also have a hardware wallet for BTC such as Trezor or Ladger Nano S. Mobile wallets for cryptocurrencies Coinomi or Coinbase. There is plenty. Give more information.

The easiest  - blockchain.info  :) But it has additional fee for transaction, so you better google and choose for your need

If you’re serious about securing your coins I suggest storing them on a hardware wallet.
The Ledger Nano S is one of the most secure and inexpensive hardware wallets available ($65). Here, all your coins are stored offline on the device.

I prefer MEW with Ledger Nano S, (although a lot of people prefer the hardware of the Trezor)...
MEW is easy to use and has alot of tokens and gives you custom gas amounts so you can control the cost of your transactions vs the need for speed as it were...

The best LOOKING wallet I've seen is Exodus.. so if you can accept some of the risks of using this type of wallet and care more about the user interface , this looks super sharp and clean..


Remember though if you are a new person and don't have alot of experience using wallets and don't know alot about the security vulnerabilities and such,  if your portfolio is still somewhat small, the exchange (although I kind of regret saying this as I type it) can be a safer option while you learn the ins and outs of wallets and security.

Whatever route you go with though, start working your way up to a cold wallet (hardware) as your portfolio grows and your risk increases.
***IF you decide to go hardware wallet, make SURE you buy these from the original manufacturer's website... no exceptions or 3rd party vendors INCLUDING Amazon.. nothing used.. no second hand.. no ebay.. you could lose everything to save a few dollars, and its just not worth it!**

It depends on a lot of factors but here's something to get you started:

--Paper wallet or other cold storage: very secure and will allow to keep a backup of your private key

--Ledger or Trezor: cold storage methods greatly reduce cybersecurity risks

Hope these help!

i prefer blockchain.. and coins.ph .. for me it is the best for the beginners like me ;)

Heyhey,
How to stock XMR in ledger wallet ?

https://trello.com/c/wsK0myEm/52-monero-support

Easiest online blockchain.info but only for small money to keep there.
More secure desktop wallet like Electrum.

Whatever you choose, choose only most known ones, coz less known could be a scam.

f this is a token on the ERC20 then I use MEw ,  its usually the ICO commands themselves advise.  And i keep token on  exchanges.

Thanks!
Your recomendation is very actual for me. I don't have lots crypto in BTC so I use blockchail.info.
At the same time things are getting better, so probably Electrum will be necessary.

I'm using Electrum wallet right now. I used to use the online wallet at blockchain.info which is also nice.

For me it's good to have a MyEtherWallet. It is fast secured, and needed if you are in high rank for joining signature campaigns.

Wallets are where the currency lives.

So, with blockchain technology here to stay, what's the best bitcoin wallet for 2018 and beyond? With an emphasis on safety, here are the top five wallets and wallet types.

No. 5: Coinbase (online exchange). Online exchanges are, by and large, less secure than the methods described below. But Coinbase seems to have learned from the lessons of its predecessors and is one of the biggest bitcoin exchanges in the world. It's also user-friendly; not only can you buy, sell, exchange and trade bitcoin on Coinbase, but you can store your bitcoin in a wallet there, too.

But the risks of keeping bitcoin on the same site where you buy it are steep, and there's a poor track record.

No. 4: Blockchain.info (online wallet). Exchanges are ripe pickings for ambitious hackers. Web-based wallets can pose some security and hacking risks too, but they don't have quite the glaring target on their backs that exchanges do. Nor do they have the nightmares of Mt. Gox and Bitfinex hanging over them.

No. 3: Electrum (software wallet). Electrum is a popular, free storage option in the bitcoin community, and is one of the most, if not the most, well-respected desktop storage apps out there. It's been around since 2011 and is also available for mobile, though Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) users are out of luck – to date it's only supported by Android.

Electrum gets high marks for its ease of use and user interface, which is always nice, but the real reason it's the best bitcoin wallet for desktop is its safety and reliability. Like any desktop wallet that's worth its salt, users get to control their private key; Electrum doesn't know what it is. Since your private key, a long string of letters and numbers, gives you access to your bitcoin, you need to keep that, you know, private.

Many online wallets and online exchanges don't give you ultimate control of your private key, adding an extra layer of risk. You have to both trust the counterparty is a good actor, and hope their servers don't get hacked, if that could compromise the service or your information.

Electrum also boasts two-factor authentication, and supports hardware wallets and cold storage – techniques that are further detailed below.

No. 2: Ledger or Trezor (hardware wallets/dongles). When you start thinking about using hardware storage solutions for your cryptocurrency, you know you've gotten serious. These dongles both make the best bitcoin wallet list because of their safety and mobility. Plus, they're good enough for professional investors.
"We have a little bit of experience in this area and prefer using Trezor and Ledger Nano S," says Peter Keenan, director of investments at Hehmeyer Trading + Investments, headquartered in Chicago.

"Both wallets are 'cold storage' wallets which we highly recommend. Cold storage eliminates counterparty risk and greatly reduces cybersecurity risk," Keenan says. "Counterparty risk refers to the risk of losing your bitcoin to the exchange where you bought your bitcoin due to nefarious acts like hacking – Mt. Gox as an example."

The downside of these solutions? First, they're not free, like all the previous wallets mentioned. Trezor's base model costs 89 euros, while the Ledger Nano S costs 58 euros. Both have fancier solutions that cost 229 euros (Ledger Blue) and 139 euros (Trezor model T).

No. 1: Paper wallet or other cold storage. A paper wallet is simply a document that contains all the information you need to generate the bitcoin private keys you need. It often takes the form of a piece of paper with a QR code that can be scanned into a software wallet when you so desire. By storing your bitcoin offline, trusting nothing and no one but yourself, and you have all the information you need to control and access your bitcoin, you're using the strongest "cold storage" method out there.

"I recommend using a paper wallet so you have a physical backup of the private key," says Ryan Spanier, director of research at Kudelski Security.

"Be sure to generate it using a clean system, such as a Linux live CD. Store this in a safe place, such as a safe or safety deposit box," Spanier says.

The incremental complexity and technological know-how needed for this method are both downsides to the paper wallet approach. Cold storage solutions and hardware wallets are less nimble than other options, too; if bitcoin were crashing, for example, you might find yourself slower to the draw than if you merely kept your bitcoin on a site like Coinbase.

Sure, paper wallets may elicit images of a tin foil hat-wearing paranoid, but the truth is that a paper wallet is the best bitcoin wallet for 2018 and beyond because it's the safest, and in the crypto space the value of safety is – or at least should be – placed at a premium.

For me, i prefer to use exchanger wallet than a single coin wallet such as blockchain.info, etc. Because if i want to send my money, i can choose altcoin which has cheaper fee

I think blockchain is the best wallet. By reliability and high security.

Read this post carefully.. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1631151.0#post_types   you will find many kinds of wallet.

All digital wallet are good but for me, Myetherwallet is the better.

Wallet is a place to save the money we collect through bounty in this bitcointalk forum. Through the tokens we collect from bounty campaig then get into our wallet.
