Exchange or Wallet?

[JMile]

Maybe you should save your coins in the wallet, in addition to safer and minimize the risk of hacking. If you are a daily trader, you can keep your coins in exchange too.

wallet is definitely a better option.

Definite wallet.
In fact, there's a new zerocoin wallet at zoin.
You can check it out at www.zoinofficial.com

I have a question.

What is better? To keep your coins on some Exchange site or to open wallets for each coin?

I would like to hear some advice.  What are pros & cons of each option?

Thanks

Commonly, To keep your coins in your own wallet is best choice (for safe). Keeping your coins in Exchange and Open Wallet has both pros & cons.
Keep in Exchange:
- You dont have the private key.
+ Easy to use
+ You can buy/sell your coins instantly

Keep in Open Wallet
+ You have the private key
+ You cannot buy/sell it unless you send it to an exchange

it depends on you goal.
if you are a long bag holder better keep it on wallet better if external like ledger nano or trezor because it is much safer there because it is not connected to the internet and it is not prone to hacking
if you are a day trader, it is preferred to have it on exchange because it is a big hassle on you to transfer in and out.

My opinion is that if you only trade, then you basically do not need a purse, but if you just invest some money, then you do not need a stock exchange, but you need a purse. In general, I do not see any problems in having a stock exchange and a purse.

well, it's alright to have a purse and exchange account but I would like to admit that there is one more option: you can use aggregator like coinmonkey.io where you can execute exchanges from your wallet directly using rates from major exchanges. so, I do exchange from jaxx wallet and receive back to jaxx if I don't like shapeshift rate.

Keep most of your coins in a wallet, don't keep them on exchanger. It's not safe to keep them in exchanger, you will never know when the exchanger going to be scam or being hacked.

In my case I am storing btc in my wallet because it has feature where i can convert my fiat money into btc so whenever i want to buy btc or btc to fiat. its already in the wallet and also it has certain service where i can buy prepaid load and paying bills. So for now this wallet is useful to me. may I could use exchanger if i wanted to buy altcoins or vice versa. btw, refer to this wallet if you want https://coins.ph/1zodi2

Okay, now I'll ask you back. Long Term or Short Term ?
If you keep a token / coin only for the short term, it does not matter you keep it in the exchanger or wallet.
But, if you keep the coins / tokens for the long term, you better keep them in the wallet, compared to the third party like the Exchanger, because we do not know how long an exchanger will operate, the exchanger can at any time close without notice, or exchangers hit hack will jeopardize your money, so my suggestion if you want to keep token / coin for long term save in wallet

Greetings, I can tell you one thing on holding tokens on exchanges, then only on large ones and where it is necessary to undergo identity verification, but I would not recommend keeping tokens on purses projects better to purchase a cold wallet and keep all the funds on it. the best option

If investments are short-term investments you can keep them in stock market accounts. It would be more costly to stop in the wallet than to trade. you must pay commissions and transfer fees.
Long-term investment should be in your wallet, safer than exchanges

[Palakka]

Not recommended to store yoru all coin or bitcoin in exchanges.
because you can't control your coin there. It is better to store your coin in the wallet

[Revvo1]

It depends seriously on the user. As already noted by some other people on the thread, I think the mission of the owner is important. I believe if such user goes for trading, keeping on trustworthy and proven exchanges is the best for easy and smooth sailing trading. while if nothing like trading is involved, I think getting your coins in a reliable wallet is the wisest thing to do. Note, in keeping those coins, one has to sure of its security authenticity of any wallet to be used, hence hackers and scammers will eventually feast on those hard earned coins.

[DevilCredit]

better stored in the wallet in the past just because it is more secure and of course can instead be used for savings and investments, who sell us coins that year could have the higher price then it could be sold at any time if the price began to tall.

to keep the assets that I have for the long term I prefer to put in the wallet online like blockchain.info or Myetherwallet because if it is placed in the market seems less secure because it could have the market collapsed at any time and bring the assets you have there.

It's better to keep your coin on a wallet. Cause if you don't wanna keep it why using a wallet? You can use exchange if just for transaction. So in the end it all depends on you, to choose what is better with what you wanna do.

[Erlinda Santiago]

It depends on the coins. And its currency exchange whether it is high or low so if it is high then its good for exchange and if it is low its good for wallet

[leslie4u]

Depending on what you are looking for, you would either place your coins on exchange or local wallet. For example, if you are a day trader then you will keep some coins on exchanges and trade however if you do not trade often then it is always recommended to have the coins in your local wallet. Also do not keep lot of coins on exchanges because anything can happen anytime. You can get up next day and see that exchange is no longer active. See what happened with coinsmarkets, one fine day they took hit on their servers due to high traffic generated by ECA buy orders. It's been more than 2 months now and the exchange is still down except for the fact that only ECA coin holders can withdraw their coins from here. Hopefully others coins will also start functioning soon. This is one such example where people lost quite a lot of money because they exchange just went down and is still being recovered.

On a personal note I like to control my coins hence I always keep then on local/hardware wallet.

Thanks and have a nice day.

For me if you handle a large amount of coins that already in exchange and have a big amount of value. I will keep it. But if you have different coins in your wallet and every single coin have a big amount I would put some to other wallet to make sure it will not lost everything if just incase there is something bad to happen.
