I can't do without checking the following apps out even if I don't have any crypto on them lol

1. Blockfolio (FTX) : I use this for tracking all my crypto coins and this app is also capable to giving you latest update about the coin you are monitoring

2. Binance: I use this exchange more than any other and also I use binance pool for my crypto mining activities too

3. Metamask app & Trust wallet: these are the wallets I use to store my crypto coins and I find metamask to be more simpler because we have different chains in crypto today for example BSC and Matic chain, Metamask makes it easier to use any new Main net chains

I would add some good block explorers, such as https://mempool.space or https://blockchair.com

When you start using bitcoin you will find the need to use block explorers to see transactions and navigate into the blockchain.

I would also add a good book for beginners, https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook, Mastering bitcoin by Andreas Antonopoulos, the best book about the subject out there.

easy access and friendly user interface app and website will always be my favorite, of course aside from the utility. These are some that I can't live without :

1. Blockfolio (now FTX) where I can check all of my portfolio's price movement, and now you can do other things like invest directly from the app and reading the crypto news. It's so handy and informative.

2. My favorite DEX is pancake swap, it's smooth, easy, and cheap.

3. My favorite utility wallet is Trust Wallet, I can easily open all dApp from there and put all of my wallets in one app.

4. Coingecko and CMC will always be my choice to monitor some tokens/coins

5. I also love DEXtools to monitor my portfolios compared to others because of the real time update

6. For local exchange I love TokoCrypto cause it's a subsidiary of Binance here in my country so I trust the credibility. Besides, it has a low fiat withdrawal fee so it's really convenient.

These are a little part of my favorite app and websites related to crypto that I've been used until now.

With a good chunk of you guys mentioning cryptocurrency investments, I sure hope ya'll are using a hardware wallet as your cold wallets. Because if not, well.. 😬

Anyway, my personal pick is multicoincharts[1].

Aren't those news portal accepts payments for publishing an article whick makes every single of them to be biased? I've been on this forum long enough and read enough threads to know that most written articles should be taken with a grain of salt.

What I think is most beneficial is to use various sources, create a constructive thread that shows your opinions, and discuss it with others.

On a side note, if you're looking for bitcoin resources that talks about the economics, politics, and techological aspect of bitcoin, then you should not miss Jameson Lopp's website.

3. My favorite utility wallet is Trust Wallet, I can easily open all dApp from there and put all of my wallets in one app.

There is still nothing worse than close source softwares and apps, Trustwallet is completely a close source wallet, you do not even know if it has spyware or not, I will rather use an app that is completely open source for Bitcoin. Why not then try open source hardware wallet if you have hundred of dollars worth of altcoins.

Coinomi
Trust wallet

Also just as Trustwallet, Coinomi is also a close source wallet. Although, there could be no option for altcoins, but I will suggest you to use open source wallet for Bitcoin as there are many of them. Hardware wallet would be safe because it supports Bitcoin and many altcoins, and it is open source.

[nakamura12]

I'm not sure why op only listed few wallets. There are other wallets that can be used and store crypto securely. I only use coinmarketcap to check coins but fpr prices, I compared it to other sites like coingecko. I used trustwallet, metamask, electrum. For gathering information is bitcointalk for additional knowledge, asking questions and more. I also have binance and it can also be used for practicing trading since they have a testnet which @Ratimov made list of sites that you can practice trading or demo trading platform.

Cointelegragh

I didn't know that they already have an app, I'll look into it and have myself download it.

Coinomi

This multi cryptocurrency wallet is still popular despite there were some issues that has been seen in the past.

[tranthidung]

• Exchanges List (1000+)
• Hardware wallet list
• Bitcoin News and Bitcoin Price Chart Sites
• Cryptowisser.com (Cryptocurrency exchange list)
• Withdrawal fees on cryptocurrency exchanges

Because you mentioned about apps, my recommendations are

• Don't search (when you are looking for apps) on Google Play or Apple Store. You will highly be trapped by faked apps, especially on Google Play.
• If you want to find apps from exchanges, go to coinmarketcap or coingecko, get links to official websites on which you will find links to download apps. Get links on official websites.
• Same advice when you need to find websites of crypto projects
• For wallets of new projects that are not listed on coinmarketcap or coingecko, you must be very careful because they might contain malwares. Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action !. Read that topic to understand about such risk.

iTunes Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cointelegraph-crypto-news/id1253881019
Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cointelegraph.com&hl=en

3. My favorite utility wallet is Trust Wallet, I can easily open all dApp from there and put all of my wallets in one app.

Why not then try open source hardware wallet if you have hundred of dollars worth of altcoins.

The reason for the use of an open source wallet or apps is just for security consciousness but it can also lead to the vulnerability of the wallet.

I don't use the Trust wallet at the early stage, I started to use it when they partner with Binance and when I checked their features then the Trust wallet was an open source wallet, not a closed source.
