I want to move exchange coins to some secured wallet, but I am unsure which is best wallet, offline desktop wallet, paper wallet, or hardware devices like Trezor. Kindly give me suggestions.

In my opiniom the best wallet is hardwallet. So the answer for your question is definitely is trezor.

One of the reason is thr security is good for protecting from malware. Because these wallet doesnt allow to install any kind of software on it.

If you have hardwallet the private key will be never exposed to your computer or internet. It will make the hacker hard to hack your wallet

For normal use, the best is definitely hardware wallet, like Trezor and Ledger. These hardware wallets have been made with security in mind. You can even use these hardware wallets in infected computers. Your funds will be safe as long as you keep your backups secure.

As for paper and offline desktop wallet, those two are best for cold wallet, i.e. you're not going to use the wallet for a very long time.

I think everyone will tell you that it's best to have a hardware wallet. This is safer and it will save you from nerves and worries when you open the browser and enter your wallet) It is also better to have two purses in one of which to keep coins / tokens for the long term (half a year or more), and in the second on short term (less than half a year)

make sure to be careful making paper wallet you dont know your computer might be infected then you just visit your wallet and your tokens are gone.

A paper wallet is most secured one. Next one is Trezor and then offline desktop wallet. All of the three wallets are safe but Trezor and Paper wallet should be well considered. If you are going to use a paper wallet, don't lose it, keep it safe in some fireproof place.

I will try to define the safest wallet based level of security.
The hardware wallet device should be at the top of the list due to the it gives more security measure to access your fund.
Paper wallet should be on the second place consider you are securing your wallet manually.
Offline wallet should be on the last place this caused by there is a possibility your offline wallet to be hijacked by malware or something like that.

At the first place are hardware wallets, like Ledger or Trezor. Disadvantages are: Official applications do not support all cryptocurrencies available for storage. Developers do not recommend using wallets addresses for any crypto mining. This can lead to synchronization slowing, and, at worst case - to device overheating and breakdown, which will have to be processed when sending a lot of micropayments.
At the second place is paper. Disadvantages are simple: forgot where I put it, someone threw it away.
The third place for wallets. They are more vulnerable to hacker attacks.

What kind of crypto currency do you want to keep on your wallet?

I have been using exodus wallet for a long time and I like it. It is reliable and fast. Often add new coins

what coin do you want to move ??
I think hardware wallets is the best wallets for storing cryptocurrency assets like trezor or ledger nano S

my advice, better use a hardware wallet like trezor. because, basically by choosing to use your hardware wallet add an additional security layer to protect your own cryptocurrency, man. if your computer is compromised by virus or malware that can steal your private key by means of key logger. uniquely trezor is basically an offline bitcoin wallet designed to help users keep their cryptocurrency within reach and very safe. there are still many services provided by this wallet so that users feel comfortable.

I believe the ledger hardware wallet is the best option, at least it's what I use. The reason is that you can send it relatively easy unlike with paperwallet yet you are still protected.

Nano S from Ledger can contain bitcoin, Ethereum and several other altcoyins. Like Trezor, Nano S is highly valued by the community of crypto-investors ...

It depends on your economy because if you have more money you should buy Trezor or ledger. These two hardware wallet is more familiar in the market. But all the wallets are highly protected in your data and some hackers are always available in the market so keep safe your private key you will never loose your cryptocurrency.

those are good as long as you keep the private key and strong the password also your very keep, personally I choose cold wallet such Trezor

There is no big work you need to do for keep your wallet secured. All you need to have private key secured wallet for keep up well. Then if really have concern to keep your big fund on good place then you can go with the hardware such as trezor or ledger Nano s.

Kindly check your requirements first then go with which wallet you want to start with it mate.

IMO, hardware wallet and paper wallet are the best. I use hardware wallet for those coins I want to use and the rest of the coins in paper wallet (cold wallet).

I myself use the ledger nano's.
This works really great.
There are also exchange where you can login with ledger nano's then you can send to the exchange and back very simple.
Imagine your nano's going broke.
You have 25 words that you have had with instalation.
You can buy a new one and with the 25 words you have your wallet back.

 I do prefer using hardware wallet like Ledger for my coins because of security wise, their taking it in top priority and it so easy to use. but all the rest, it's us to take all necessary action to secure our asset.

I choose offline desktop because it is not connected to any link here in internet so it will more safe because the hackers can not access in bitcoin or crypto currency.

But to broadcase your transaction and it will need internet and that will make you try to connect your wallet to the internet. As far as i know that even mew offline wallet still need to be connected to the internet to broadcast the transaction to the network and it's risky too. The only best way to store our amount through hardware wallet.

They are all very good since they are all forms of cold storage anyway, but in terms of ease while still having that huge and maximum security, I prefer a hardware storage with trezor or preferably Ledger Nano making the top on my list. Offline desktop wallet is a lot to manage which you will need a lot of memory for, while paper wallet would need you to keep in a very secured place and it is paper (this is digital age ;D), but hardware storage comes with all the safety functionalities while you can still backup your wallets since you have the full control.

Come on! Hardware wallet anytime any day. Private key is stored directly in the device while you can still back up your seed in case you misplace it, while having high level of security since it is encrypted with pin, no issue with viruses, you can have multiple cryptocurrencies and ERC20 tokens easily, you can easily make transactions with them since you easily can link them with a desktop wallet like electrum or the hardware wallet app, so what else would anyone need and as far as I am concerned, even though it comes with a price, it is worth it.

Hardwallet is the most secure way of storing the coins, but it might not be convenient enough to use. That's why I would recommend MEW. I remember they has an attack not so long ago, but if you always make sure your private keys are in the safe place, the connection with the website is secure (green) and the name is exactly the one they state on their official page, your money is safe and at the same time you can store almost everything in one wallet as well as  have access from any part of the planet.

I have a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet and I like the way it works. It’s supposedly a very secure way to store your private keys. One thing to remember about a hardware wallet is that you still need to keep the passphrase hidden somewhere, so I think this is about the same as having a paper wallet except the hardware wallet is better at keeping several wallets organized.

Paper wallets are nice and secure but the seem to be out-dated.Hardware wallet seem better to me, you can several wallets within a single hardware wallet.They are secure and more portable to use.

Hardware wallets are the most secure wallets. Nothing can provide the security and safety that it has. Although not everyone can afford them as it comes at a price. But if you have large amount invested in crypto markets then you should consider it, as paying a small amount is better than losing all your money.

Use a paper purse, it is the most reliable and simple. Not very comfortable, but safe. I use only a paper purse for storage of bitcoins, and I have never had any security problems. To store small amounts, you can use the Exodus wallet.

the best wallets will always be hardware wallets, let it be trezor or ledger wallet, the reason for this is that with them even you dont know the private keys, they are stored securely in your hardware wallet, however, for all others there is always a chance of hack or theft as the private keys are visible.

If one is not able to buy hardware wallet, next best option is paper wallet.

 I think most secure way to store your cryptocurrencies is diversifying them, if you would hold like I do, one coin for one wallet, I think this is the most secure way, but do not store all of the passwords in one place, lol.

I would suggest you to keep one wallet which is trust worthy only.  You can use hardware wallet for security and long term safety like Trezor . However , all other wallets are prone to hack or theft .
