Bitcoin Forum

There is no single best option available for everyone. One size doesn’t fit all and when it comes to cryptocurrency wallet, it’s important to consider the following variables:

· Which cryptocurrencies do you trade? Bitcoin or altcoins? How diversified is your portfolio?

· Are you a short-term or a long-term trader?

· How secure are your trading tools and devices and what is the security record of your considered wallet?

· What are the wallets associated costs?

· Is the wallet UI intuitive and user-friendly?

· How mobile and accessible is your wallet? Is it difficult to keep and easy to lose?

· Does it allow you to make quick purchases or sell-offs whenever needed? What is its latency?

Here are some popular wallets that are considered to be safe and reliable in different situations.

Single currency wallets. As a rule of thumb, going for an official currency’s wallet is always a good option. Here are the official wallets of major cryptocurrencies:

Bitcoin: Bitcoin Core Wallet, Mycelium or Electrum.

Ethereum: Ethereum Wallet or MyEtherWallet (Paper Wallet).

Litecoin: Litecoin-QT.

Dash: Dash Core.

NEO: Neon Wallet, NEO-CLI, NEO-GUI.

Most of the time, official wallets are easy to find on the company’s website.

Multicurrency wallets (software). Here are some of the popular multicurrency online purses.

Jaxx Wallet. An optimal crypto wallet software that offers both mobile and desktop applications. Use it to store your Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, Dash, Zcash and dozens of other cryptocurrencies.

Coinomi. Coinomi supports 64 cryptocurrencies and is one of the best mobile wallets on the market. The only downside is that at the moment it currently works with Android only.

Exodus. Exodus is a solid desktop wallet which lets you store Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, OmiseGo, Qtum, Dash, Bat, Aragorn and many other coins.

Fast Invest Wallet. Fast Invest is a quickly-growing European P2P loan operator established in 2012. Currently, the company is moving into P2P crypto loans and crypto trading markets and will launch a solid multicurrency crypto wallet for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and Fast Invest token (FIT) holdings. The wallet is set to start on December 4th together with Fast Invest ICO.

Hardware wallets. Although more expensive, hardware wallets are considered to be one of the safest options for crypto investors.

KeepKey. Supports Bitcoin, Ehtereum and majority of other altcoins.

Ledger Blue. Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and majority of other altcoins.

Trezor. Supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, DASH, Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic and other ERC-20 Tokens.

Digital Bitbox. Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic and other ERC-20 tokens.

Cloud wallets. Although we stressed that online wallets can be dangerous, storing your coins on Coinbase and GDAX are safer than others. Coins in these exchanges are insured, thus providing a guarantee that you will be compensated even if the company is hacked.

A digital wallet may be the most important investment decision. Therefore, it’s worth to invest time and effort into choosing the right one. Although hardware wallets may seem expensive at first, at the moment, they offer the most complete cryptocurrency storage option, combining both safety and functionality. Nevertheless, there are some decent hot wallets as well. The final decision is always yours and you should stick with the wallet which lets you get a sweet good night’s sleep.

According to me Ethereum or my ethereum wallet is the best and mostly used cryptocurrency wallet. and it is most trustfully wallet according to cryptocurrency users.

To me every crypto currency wallet is the best
It depends on the level of concentration from users

If you are careless and you use Trezor wallet or other hard core wallets you will get hacked easily

Safety of wallet all depends on the users

I think MEW wallets is the best to all coins to secure the scams of the long term. but it is your choice which have you use the wallet for the long term.

I think one of the most secure wallet is offline MEW.
You can buy a cheap laptop and use it always offline to generate offline transactions with MEW.
(And this laptop may be much cheaper then any hardware wallet.)
Use those generated transactions on the online PC to send ETH and tokens.
In this case your private keys will be always offline and safe...

Good compilation, just for everyone that uses Ethereum, be aware that one of the basics to protect yourself is using metamask. It will signs transactions on your client side so you will never be sending keys through the internet. It may mean the difference between being hacked or not and is free to install.

I use MEW and everything is fine.  Metamask is a good extension for security.  Security comes first in the field of cryptoinvestment.  I want to buy Ledger or Trezor.

Im mostly in eth and erc based tokens so mew works well for me, i do use coinbase as well for btc, ltc etc, there are new exciting universal wallets are also being developed where we can store all kinds of coins and tokens, once developed i will try to see if they are really good and then may start using them for example, ethos, pillar etc.

If we talk about the security of wallets, then there is nothing better than a hardware wallet, their only problem is that they can store only a certain coins. If you are a bounty hunter, then you will definitely have to use MEW.

Great article, For Ethereum and ERC20 tokens, I've always been a fan of Metamask because of it's extra security layer, but recent MEWconnect by MEW is really great, secure and easy to use. I'd recommend you to give it a try, it might come in par with Metamask wallet.

I have various coins these are Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Eos and Stellar. I Have stored Ethereums in mywetherwallet. You can use the myetherwallet even if you are offline. I store my other coins on Binance. I really trust this exchange. But you dont want storing coins on exchange, you can use ledger nano wallet. But I warn you this wallet isnt free.

All my friends recommend MEW wallet. A very popular wallet. I also registered the MEW wallet and will use it for settlements.

I think MEW wallet is best than others. It is very popular. Maximum peoples like it very much. It is very good and use it for settlements.

There are no good or bad wallets, and if we discuss the security of the wallet, then of course the offline wallet will be much safer than any threat of phishing or hackers but you have to save the wallet safely, because if you remove the offline wallet, then there is no other way to return your coin or token except by finding the wallet

For now the MYtherwallet wallet is still the best. Besides being easy, low cost is fast and safe. I still use MEW.
Even though my MEW wallet was stolen, it was purely my fault. it is the carelessness of users who cannot maintain user keywords.

Yes, if I use and create wallet on applications or software that allows to create wallet. If those applications have pre-installed spy software, my wallet will be able to hack at any time

I am mostly using my ethereum wallet with metamask. I feel very secure and didn't have any problems with it.

And i'm using it with multiple websites.

Why looking for the best crypto wallet when you have someone who introduced you into cryptocurrency, I'm very sure the first thing the person will talked about is the wallet where your earned coin will be kept, so now tell me has anything happen to the one he or she introduced to you.? Ur answer will be No which means all Wallet for coin are safe, the only problem u might have is you trying to find a new one which is not recommended by people.

What are you talking about man, not clear totally! What is the Ethereum wallet and what is my Ethereum wallet? However, Maybe you wanted to tell myetherwallet, but this is not the best, this is just a below average crypto wallet. The best online wallet for ERC20 Tokens is Metamask, Imtoken wallet also good, but I would not prefer Myetherwallet alone. You need to use myetherwallet with Metamask, or you can use A hardware wallet and this is the best wallet for every crypto coins like BTC, EOS, XRP, EC20 coins and all.

metamask is still the best ethereum based wallet I've ever used, because this will make it safe, and the possibility of being stolen will be very small, even though other wallets have a good level of security, but metamask has given me satisfaction

For me, the best cryptocurrency wallet is a hard wallet. You don't need to download the app and the blockchain like using the client wallet in your pc.
Using hard wallet can makes you own most coins and with a good security for your wallet. You can use exchange wallet to store all most crypto, but i don't recommend it.

yes, electrum is the right alternative choice and what I like most about electrum is having a mobile version that we can have on our smartphones.

ya. I more like use offline wallet like electrum or keep private key is better. btw if you use offline wallet please backup your data on 2-3 hdd or usb

MEW only stores ether and ethereum coins. If you want to hold other coins that you can't do it with MEW.

The safety is important issue nowadays. even though investors put their coins in MEW, it usually has been hacked.
There is one exchange which users can select to rate of cold wallet from 70% to 100% for safety.
Check the cold wallet using exchange here ruby-x.io thanks :)

I'm using Exodus since it's really a great working app and user friendly. And, i'm using their own wallet for the altcoins since it much better and i don't want to put all my tokens in one wallet even if i have their backups. I;m just making sure for it.

i use myetherwallet, as a cold wallet, it has no fee, and really secure i

it's true that all this time I use myetherwallet it's very comfortable and the transaction is also safe and fast too

For the satisfaction guaranteed, I guess myetherwallet was just enough to secure all of my token holdings. However, it there's another wallet application that can be run offline or can be synced like other trusted one, I am willing to use it independently.

When you are choosing wallet, only thing you need to care about is security. No matter how much cryptocurrencies may be storen within the wallet if it could be hacked with ease. Remember it when you see some strange applications.

don't use best cryptocurrency wallet, but find safest wallet crypto like metamask because this wallet never get hacked all of time

Electrum is not a bad wallet at all and so is Exodus since they are both desktop wallet and electrum even having a mobile wallet as well. The thing however, with desktop wallet is that, your funds are as secured as your desktop and in the case where you end up experiencing some malware or some hack into the system based on some vulnerabilities, they can still be accessed.

This is why having a good strong antivirus is something very important with the usage of desktop wallets, and if you are actually to consider the price you have to pay for good antivirus yearly, I would really just go for a hardware wallet if it has to be because I want to keep my funds secured, that is even a lot better in terms of security.

Is there an android app for Wallet Electrum? I want to have a bitcoin wallet which is mobile for me and accessible anytime and of course safe.

i use myetherwallet, it's pretty simple and safe

i think one of the safest wallet is myetherwallet

I do not know, I use the classic MeW and do not bother my head. It is very convenient and, if you follow the safety rules, everything is very reliable. And there is an opportunity to enter the wallet from anywhere in the country.

I have nano Ledger. Very convenient purse by the USB stick sizes. It is bad that there are no coins which I wanted to buy. For the rest everything is good

My ethereum wallet shortly  MEW is the best wallet for altcoins ERC based platform and for bitcoin, ethereum,litecoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum classic coinbase is the best security wallet.

Nice you list most of the wallets that are good to use.

---

Hardware wallet's are the best to use and android wallets too.

---

Coinomi and Ledger nano s is a good combination of wallet but I advise to try others too.

Some wallets that I use are good, like blockchain, luno, imtoken. From that 3 wallet, I've never felt lost or hacked by anyone and I think it's safe to be safe if we don't share the privacy key, pin or any access to the wallet by someone else.

Ethereum wallet is the best wallet for most of the altcoins hold or transactions. For safety, Blockchain.com is the best ever wallet of Bitcoin and Ethereum than Ethereum wallet.

My personal favourite is Exodus. My  first impression of Exodus was just wow. I mean you just need to check that how advance the online web-based cryptocurrency wallet they are offering to the users.

My ether wallet is the best wallet when compare to other wallets. Ian using this wallet for long time still I didn't face any problem. It is the best wallet for altcoins and this wallet is very secure to hold the tokens. Most of the users use this wallet for transaction. Another wallet is coinbase it is also one of the secured wallet and easy to use. The transaction speed is high and the transaction fees also low. Now it supports more coins and this is one of the trustworthy wallet used by many users.

I would add to your list of good wallets, two other that i recently experienced:
BITHER : is a bitcoin wallet made since 2014 and is available for desktop/IOS/Android. Now it supports SegWit addresses. Official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=498382.0
HODLER : This is a new project under developement. It is the only fully Open Source, free multi-asset and multi-platform cryptocurrency wallet in the world. It supports a lot of cryptocurrencies and aim to add more. Follow the updates in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5032817.0

Most of wallets are similar, so it is the question of taste. For example, some people like my ether wallet, while others consider it as one of the most inconvinient solutions they have ever come across.

Now it is hard to say, because there are a lot of different wallets now. But not all wallets guarantee maximum security and fast transaction speed. but I can advise MEW

I did not use most of the cryptographic wallets listed above, MEW is enough for me, because basically I have  tokens and ETH.  I do not have a lot of coins, so I keep some on the stock exchange, those that can not be stored in MEW.

Probably it would be better to clarify what exactly is meant, because I think that here, for example, ERC20 tokens are meant, it seems to me that in this case MEW, which has already been tested many times, is best suited.

I think this depends on the needs, if we have a large amount of bitcoin then saving offline wallet is certainly better, but if we are active then web wallets like blockchain.info are easy and safe wallets.

Every wallets has its own advantage and disadvantages, but for my altercoin I have been making use of IM token and haven't had any problem with it, likely the best wallet have used maybe cus it's the only eth wallet have used, and for Bitcoin I used blockchain and luno to exchange to hard cash.

I used quite a lot of walets (mainly multicurency) and now only use Ledger Nano S with it's new Ledger Live is the KING as BTC!

STEEL, an ecosystem which is passing development stage, seems to launch the worlds most secured wallet you have ever seen. I consider that most of cryptocurrency community members will start using it right after the official release.

MEW is the best for me but it has some problems now with the security, I have not chosen the another wallet yet but I am looking for it so much with such suitable way of using.

I think that the best cryptocurrency wallet for BTC among software wallets is the right Electrum, because I use it and advise you, since it is very safe, but certainly not 100%, because there is no 100% security anywhere.

Bitcoin Core BitCore is the official wallet as most dealed known app to access the BTC blockchain and store funds into it. I can't deny that electrum is also a reputable one but it still has some lacks that need to be overwhelmed by the time progress.
Cold Storage with LedgerNano or any other one, would be the safest way to keep your BTC safe as much as possible.

So far, the above Wallet is what I still use until now, it is proven that security can be said to be "very safe". Besides that the usage is also simple

Interesting.

However I kind of prefer imToken because of its ease of use. Supports ERC tokens, bitcoin, ethereum, and eos which is kind of neat.

There are a many wallets to secure the coins/tokens for the long term. But mostly I believe the MEW wallet.cuz This wallet give me a reliable in this past few month. it's secure the my tokens/private keys and the coins without any harmless.

the problem for cryptocurrency wallets is still good using myetherwallet. because the wallet is still used by many people. but if you want to save long-term, you can use an offline wallet like nano ledger or trezzor where it can be used as one of the good options for keeping assets safe

For ether, myetherwallet is the best and very versatile and safe wallet I have seen for keeping ethereum. Myetherwallet is not  actually in the sense  of keeping your ether on your computer or other server somewhere. With myetherwallet, you  have access to your coin on the blockchain and it is safe on the blockchain.

This is one of the most informative posts I am reading here in quite some time. I also consider following while choosing a wallet :

1) Fees  being charged on transactions.

2) How easy is the interface.

3) Frequent updates occurring on the wallet or not.

The best cryptocurrency wallet in my opinion is :
1. ETH and ERC20 Token Wallet
the best wallet for storing ERC20 Token and ETH in my opinion is https://www.myetherwallet.com, MetaMask and Eidoo (for iOS/Android).
2. NEO and NEP5 Token Wallet
the best wallet for storing NEO and NEP-5 Token in my opinion is https://neotracker.io/wallet.
3. Bitcoin
if for Bitcoin I would suggest that you use the Electrum Wallet.

I only recommend you this wallet because I only used the wallet and I chose the wallet because I think the wallet is very easy to use (simple).

Today we can face a creation of new wallets, which shoudl become much more secured than all existing ones. It means that charts may change every month and the only person, who is able to answer your question is yourself.

Safety is really a top notch and something every investor is after with the news about hacking and phishing attacks going all around these days. The best way to keep your assets safe to me is just going the cold storage way or making use of a hardware wallet.

Hardware wallets have all the information stored on a single device and you do not have to worry about it being hacked or something. The safety is guaranteed unlike when you are comparing a desktop wallet, mobile wallet, or an online wallet which they all can easily be hacked if you end up making your device compromised.

To be quite honest, there are really some good wallets we have in the crypto market. For me however, I have come to really love the Luno Wallet, and the MYetherwallet. these are the two main wallets that I make use of, unless of course, in special situations. They are safe, convenient, and easy to use. Highly recommendable too.

MEW? It is not so safe but it answers to all my requiers and I am pleased with it. Wallets are good for holding and it is not worthy to change coins at all.

Currently, there are lots of third party wallet software, It supports a lot of altcoin and bitcoin, But for security and always up to date, should use the wallet software released from the official developer.

I bought a ledger wallet. I am pleased. Loaded coins on it. I took the wallet to the bank and put it in the bank box.

It seems to me that it is best to use cold wallets that you can buy today very easily and the cost today is not as big as it can be at all, given the value of cryptocurrencies. Therefore, you need to use proven options.

I used the MEW wallet. It is easy to use. It is a very strong security and the platform. I think this wallet is best suitable to for the long term

Yes . I am using wallet MEW. I think it's the best for me because it's safe, the wallet is used by many people because it easily stores the tags and easily handles Altcoin transactions, also safe and fast.

I think that for most people the most convenient wallet is MEW. I think so too, but unfortunately its security leaves much to be desired, so I use the TREZOR hardware wallet.

cold wallets is the best and more safe, really it advise , dont use servises like myetherwallet - it very dangerous

The best cryptocurrency wallets that you could ever have are hardware wallets. With hardware wallets you always have the best choices when it comes to the things that you can store in them and they are always the safest options for you to save your coins in. I would recommend that you get a trezor hardware wallet if you are looking for the best

for me, the best wallet is Electrum. first, it has a user-friendly interface. secondly, you do not need to download the entire transaction database. although it is for btc, it has wallets for other coins as well.
