I need Wallet for my Bitcoin Investment

[DaNNy001]

Based on your encouragements and advices in my first purchase of Bitcoin, I was motivated to use part of my Christmas savings of $12.53 to buy Bitcoin today and I want to move them out from the exchange platform to a wallet and as a newbie in the system, I don't know which of the wallet is preferable. Though I have opened Electrum but I have not moved the coins to it.
So which of the wallet should I used to keep my coins safe?

Today's purchase was awesome



One thing I discovered from the exchange platform is that the buying price is higher than the selling price.

Electrum is secure enough. It's non-custodial and give you full control over your fund. It's also open-source and we can be sure that there's nothing hidden going on behind the scene.
Before sending any fund to your wallet, make sure that you have download electrum from its official website and verify your download. Also, keep you seed phrase offline in a secure place, so you can recover your wallet in the future.

You can go for Electrum or Mycelium
Btw, trust wallet is also one of the most recognised wallets now that the FTX collapse took place, as it helped CZ to promote that wallet (non-custodial one)
Btw, please remember that if you will send your coins out from Binance (as I think your purchase was from there based on the image you shared), it will cost you BTC0.0002 which is around $3.34 atm

If you can secure your seed phrase, Eelectrum is safe enough. It would be preferable if you could purchase Ledger, though I don't believe you should do so right now considering your Bitcoin balance. Simply protect your device from attackers, regardless of the wallet you use. I've been using Electrum for a while now, and it's the best non-custodial wallet apps I've found so far. I've recently started using Ledger to secure my funds. So keep this in mind for the future.

Electrum wallet is just fine bud, though I personally use mycelium wallet which also is a great wallet, Electrum is another outstanding wallet as well.
Since you are just starting out, those wallets are good enough, but the best wallets is hardware wallet because they are offline when not connected, but I don't think you can afford this type of wallet right now, so just stick with Electrum or mycelium, which ever is more interesting to you.

One thing I discovered from the exchange platform is that the buying price is higher than the selling price.

This is the norm, buying price is always higher than selling price, to me, this is one way to discourage people from buying and selling off immediately, as one can not do this without incurring some loss, though the main reason for this is in the buying and selling orders placed by traders, those are buying are placing orders at a lower price while those selling are placing orders at higher price, this the major reason why you sell at a bit lower price if you sell immediately after you bought.

The electrum wallet isn't bad, just ensure you're able to keep they keys safely, it's one of the best recommended cold storage, another option you can use could be more technical and demanding than this first one which is bitcoincore or getting one of the hardware wallet by a single purchase.

What els could you expect, if you buy anything just now, you don't expect to sell it thesame value it's been bought, that's where some third party like exchanges make their profits and you will still have to pay the tixed transaction fees which could be adjustible using a decentralized exchange.

Please always edit your image to a smaller size whenever you're posting pictures for future sake.

The Electrum wallet is the best and it's Bitcoin-only even I use this wallet for a long time as long as the phrase seed is placed in a safe place and has several copies in case other backups are lost, but you need have to keep the phrase seed online and in offline must do just in case.

I know you want to invest for the long term, if you want to be more secure then you can use a hardware Wallet if you have more money then you can buy it this will be much safer than others, even though others are safe but I think hardware is the best .

Being one of the most recognized wallet doesn't mean it should be recommended. OP has already installed electrum which is open source and one of the most secure wallets and should avoid any close-source wallet like trustwallet.

Note that electrum isn't always used for cold storage. Electrum can be a hot wallet too. Being a cold wallet or a hot wallet depends on how you use electrum.

I agree with others, Electrum is one of the best wallet as it is also lightweight,

Here is the official link if you haven't downloaded it yet: https://electrum.org/#home

I will also link you one of the best resources from our community regarding Electrum by @DireWolfM14 :[GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide].

Trust Wallet is good as well to saved your bitcoin investment, while creating the account, you need to saved the pass 12 phase of the wallet by writing down on your dairy including the password, should in case of future time, if your phone device been corrupt, or stolen, you can be able to recover your bitcoin digital assets back.

Trust Wallet is owned by Binance.

Remember what happened to FTX's apps when they imploded? Someone turned them into malware.

For this reason, it is not recommended to use any mobile wallet app owned by an exchange, unless you have a way to verify the signature of the file to tell that it came from a trustworthy source (though in the case of an insider attack, this wouldn't protect you so much).

What didn't you like about Electrum? This is a proven and reliable wallet that the BTC-community has been using for a very long time. The only thing I would recommend to you when using this is to install Electrum on a separate PC or a separate OS and use the PC or OS only to run this application. This will keep your wallet safe from being infected by malicious applications, or at least reduce the likelihood of it.

The thing you found is a common occurrence in any market for any product. Whatever asset you choose, even in traditional financial markets, there will always be a difference between the purchase price and the sale price. Moreover, different sellers will have different prices.

Frankly, the Trust Wallet was one of the best wallets that I had for more than two years, and I did not encounter any problems with it, in addition to the ease of storing a lot of currencies on it, but what happened to FTX made me think a lot after I learned that the Trust wallet is owned by Binance, and I decided not to keep my currencies in exchange wallets I recommend the Electrum wallet to the OP, as it is one of the easiest and best Bitcoin wallets for beginners, and also the Mycelium wallet, as it is a really great wallet for store, transfer, and trade Bitcoin.

For a newbie, trust wallet is worth a try because it is very easy to use as well as stores many different coins without having to create many different wallets. I have also been using Trust wallet for more than 3 years and have not had any problems as many say. But if you own more assets then it is best to get a cold wallet.

You are already on track, because "Electrum" Is actually the best bitcoin wallet for android users, because of it's safety. So all you need to do is just copy your Bitcoin wallt address from Electrum wallet,  log in to your Binance app, paste the address, then send the Bitcoin while you ensuring you send above the minimum amount. (I.e some exchanges has a specific amount of BTC you can either withdraw or deposited e.g 0.0001).

I already saw the topic where you said about your first bitcoin purchases and now you are officially a bitcoin investor but as an investor like you already saw many people told you to choose a bitcoin wallet for yourself if you are going to hold bitcoin for a long time I suggest you use bitcoin hardware wallet where you can have more security but you should pay some money to buy a bitcoin wallet otherwise there are software wallet like Electrum you can try if you ask me I'm using Electrum for a long time and never had any problem, but make sure if you are not downloading fake versions of this wallet.

[Rigon]

Choosing a wallet is most important these days.There are many people who use exchange wallets. The most scammed we've seen are people who use exchange wallets to invest their money.Just a few days ago I saw FTX hacked and lots of funds removed from it.Earlier also we heard about various other exchange hacking and people were cheated there.So choosing a wallet is the most important thing at this time So if you want to invest your coins then of course you can use hardware wallet, trust wallet, Legdar wallet, Electrum etc. These are very secure wallets.

^This wallet was introduced by CZ the CEO of Binance.
This wallet is multi-functional and supports different blockchains, but if you really want to separate your BTC from your altcoins is better to choose Electrum wallet for BTC and TrustWallet for the altcoins. Both are open-source wallets that you can trust, as long as it is open-source we can assure that our fund is safe and we have control over our portfolio. However, if you have a budget, just go for the hardware wallet, this safest wallet for all, why? Because this wallet has a security feature itself that can protect your crypto.

As many people said here I think Electrum is good enough for every people's needs. If you don't own a hardware wallet, Electrum is a go-to wallet for you. I own Ledger and Trezor but I also still use Electrum, never had a problem for years. I used to use Bitcoin-QT but now it's almost impossible to use it for a regular person due to huge size and synchronization issues.

Trust wallet isn't open-source and there is no way to know how the keys are generated and whether they have access to users keys or not. 
In their website, they claim that trustwallet is open-source, but they are lying. It used to be open-source and their source code has been last updated around 4 years ago.
