The more stables appear in the market, the greater the risks become. This raises the likelihood that another collapse like FTX, Luna or something similar could emerge.

...
Are you too lazy to read the pages of this thread?

First of all, most crypto wallets and particularly Bitcoin wallets don't store any coins. A confusing answer to your question therefore could be: none! But that answer is unfair to a beginner. (Wallets only store the private keys that allow you to sign transactions to move bitcoins. Bitcoins only "live" as unspent transaction outputs on the Bitcoin blockchain.)

I would recommend "lite wallets" like Electrum, Sparrow, Bluewallet. Try to stick to open-source wallets, because only there at least someone has a chance to audit the source code and assess how the wallet operates.

Beware that hot (online) software wallets are vulnerable to malware on poorly secured and operated computers. To increase the security for a software wallet's private keys, you could use a hot (online) watch-only wallet to prepare transactions which are then signed on an offline cold wallet that holds the private keys (this isn't beginner stuff, though).

If you plan to have coins worth low 4-digit dollars I would early recommend to invest in a decent hardware wallet (stay away from the Ledger crap; these pieces of hardware and software shit aren't worth your hard earned money).

I use a BitBox02 and a PiTrezor (the latter more for experiments) and would also buy a Trezor Safe 5 without hesitation. Stuff from Foundation Devices, Seedsigner, Krux wallet and Blockstream Jade are also cool.

Could you please explain in more detail the problems and shortcomings of Ledger, and why many users consider it unreliable or disappointing?

the film is expected to be release in 2026 thats next year, will it trigger a bullrun for crypto? we dont know it yet.
The movie will help drive mass adoption, because as people who don't know a thing about Bitcoin get to watch it, they might be curious to want to know about the technology and get onboard. However, it cannot have any effect on the market. Next year is going to be the beginning of the bear cycle, and the movie cannot change that.
Do you really think that after fourteen years there are people who don't know a thing about Bitcoin and prone to watching such movies? I doubt that extremely. yet I agree about effect on the market. Movie isn't that type of black swan event to influence
