I have read around some and cant find much that isnt a few years old.
Im new to BTC and was going to keep a few hundred $ worth on blockchain.info to spend and then invest in a few thousand $ in an offline manner. Is a paper wallet the best bet? I am not very tech savvy. Also where is the best exchange to buy from? Thanks in advance.
Crypto wallet is required to enter Bitcoin, or other digital assets. Before you consider trading cryptocurrency on the exchange or buying a cryptocurrency from a broker, you must understand what a cryptocurrency wallet is and how it works. The cryptocurrency wallet consists of two elements - private key and public address. Cryptocurrency holders use their private key to access their wallet. This private key is all that is needed to access the wallet, so if it falls into the wrong hands, chances are the funds it contains will be lost forever. A public address is given to other cryptocurrency users to receive funds, and is generally given as text or as a QR code.
Cold wallet is a wallet solution that is not connected to the internet, or a solution that can be disconnected from the internet. This wallet usually comes in the form of a software wallet, which can be installed on a computer or smartphone, or a hardware wallet, which is a safe device specifically designed for cryptocurrency storage. Hardware wallet is the safest solution for storing digital currencies.
