Hello Gang,
New guy here.
About 2 weeks ago I purchased $50,000 of Bitcoin and Ethereum thru Coinbase.
It's all sitting in the Coinbase wallet with a 2 step verification to get access.
I just ordered a Trezor 1 cold wallet. Might take a few days to get here.
How safe is the Coinbase wallet for holding my stuff?
I've read that their site is actually very secure.
Thanks for any info!
I would say that security is a relative concept. Of course, Coinbase probably has good protection, but as far as I've heard, it's best to have your own cold wallet and the fact that you ordered yourself Trezor speaks about it. It's best to keep your crypto in the safest place, and remember that there are other ways to lose your crypto. For example, the loss of data to enter the wallet, or the loss of a Trezor device. There is also a chance of getting a virus, but this can only depend on your actions. The most important thing is that you yourself understand the importance of storing your crypto and do everything for its safety.
