Which crypto wallet to use for 8,000$?

[aoluain]

Hello everyone, I'm new to cryptocurrency and I was able to earn 8,000$ in btc, and I keep all the money on binance, but I heard that binance blocks accounts. Please advise me of a reliable crypto wallet to store this money, who can recommend a really good wallet, I can transfer you 200$. Please write to my telegram @leaneek

Well you can separate it to Electrum for your daily trading activities, and then Hardware wallet for long term storage. That is a huge money to begin with, might be better if you really take it out from exchange. Even if it is Binance, they can still confiscate your Bitcoin, as what we say here, "not your keys', not your coins".

For hardware wallets, there are 2 best options.

https://trezor.io/
https://www.ledger.com/

Electrum can be download here: https://electrum.org/#download

and the best of them is Trezor, its truly open source.

I own both a Trezor and Ledger hardware wallet and can by far recommend a Trezor
for its level of security.

As an aside the Ledger Nano is convenient to connect to a smartphone.

So if you have $8000 it would be very prudent to take $100 of it and invest in a hardware
wallet to safely store your $7900 of Bitcoin.

If you have such amount of money in crypto then you have to consider having it offline. Imagine what happens when a CEX gives a restriction or shuts down just to obey regulations or institutions at your detriment.

Get a trezor or ledger nano wallet that is not susceptible to hacks from hackers and be careful enough to keep it safe.

You don't need to give the person 200$ just use Electrum wallet to stor or keep your coins. Go to the your device and download the Electrum app and install it, then click create wallet, write the name you want to give to the wallet and click next, then standard wallet then new, and click on the create a new seed and write download the seed phrase and keep it in a safe place and next. Then the interface of the wallet will appear. Then click receive, and you will see the public address and copy it then you go back to the Binance app and click send and paste the address and input the figure other Bitcoin you want to send and click send them Wait for the arrival of the Bitcoin to your Electrum wallet. Have a good transaction with your new wallet. Thanks.

It sounds fishy to me That he offers $200 and says to contact him on his Telegram without ever showing up here again, at least for the time being. He may or may not be sincere, I'm just saying we have to be cautious with these things as scams of this type abound. In any case and as has been mentioned, a HW wallet is the best option.

Yes the message and post seemed legit until you got to the $200 part and the telegram. Like others have said you can easily google this yourself. If someone helps you find a wallet, you tip them like $5 or $10. You wouldn’t tip them over $200.

So I am leaning on being cautious if you DM this individual and he starts asking for some more sensitive info or wants you to go to some phishing website to claim the $200. Be careful.

Electrum wallet all the way, if you want to have it on a mobile version, Trustwallet can be a good alternative. I've moved my bitcoin personally in Trustwallet because I've got mine on Binance too for awhile although the SEC in my country is planning to block the service by February so there's no way that I would go for the hassle of having to use a bypass to access Binance, better off suffering from the high fees and such rather than that if you know what I mean. Same as @adaseb, I'm having suspicions about that last part, if you're really going to give someone then they don't need a Telegram to do that, they can just drop their address on the replies and you do the due diligence after learning how to store that bitcoin in a cold wallet, definitely fishy so hopefully the person that will engage OP on Telegram is going to reply about the legitimacy.

Can a Cryptocurrency Newbie Earn 8K Bucks by Accident? Or, to put it in a not entirely honest way, proving how easy it was for him to get it since he just wants to give away 200 bucks. Binance will pay attention to it. I wouldn't want to have his bitcoins in my wallet. AML checks are all around now, and instead of buying a hardware wallet, he is throwing money away. Are there any naive people here who want to believe all this nonsense?

[m2017]

You can use a cold wallet, or get yourself hardware wallet like Passport. You can setup a multisig wallet with hardware wallet and wallet like Sparrow or Electrum.

Passport hardware wallet? Why don’t you recommend Ledger Trezor or something like that?

Please write to my telegram @leaneek

You are easily drawing scammers to yourself.

What if it's just the opposite? The new account in its first post offers $200 just for recommending hardware wallet? Just write to @telegram? This could be good bait.

You’re right, centralized exchanges are not supposed to be used for storing bitcoins. Move your bitcoins from Binance to Electrum or Blue wallet. I don’t understand why you would add your telegram handle here and promise $200 for information you can easily google, all these looks suspicious.

Worth knowing that $8000 should be kept on a cold wallet or cold wallet setup eith multisig wallet.

Well, not necessarily. If someone needs unreasonable risks, then he can store it anywhere. Even on centralized exchanges or online wallets, like blockchain.com.

I’m thinking OP may be a scammer. It’s unlike that someone would want to gift a stranger $200 for doing next to nothing. For the more trusting members of the forum, remember that there is no free lunch in this world. If it sounds too good to be true, it is not real. Anyone who is greedy enough to pm that telegram account will surely be roped into a scam. 

I guess so as well. He may likely be a scammer

This will be known after communicating with OP in the telegram chat. Any volunteers?

Passport hardware wallet? Why don’t you recommend Ledger Trezor or something like that?

For altcoins, Trezor is recommended. Passport hardware wallet is airgapped. It is easy to use with wallet like Sparrow through QR code transaction signing. For bitcoin-only wallet, it is highly recommended.

What if it's just the opposite? The new account in its first post offers $200 just for recommending hardware wallet? Just write to @telegram? This could be good bait.

What if not the opposite. It can be either. Worth posting what are necessary. I think we cover all these already in the first page and why quoting this? It is not necessary at all. It makes it looks like repeating what has been posted before.

Well, not necessarily. If someone needs unreasonable risks, then he can store it anywhere. Smiley Even on centralized exchanges or online wallets, like blockchain.com.

Read the OP again and the topic title. This post does not look like the post of m2017 that I once knew.

If you found this forum, it means you can also search for information about bitcoin storage wallets on google easily without having to spend 200 USD. So you're more of a suspect than a newbie trying to find help here. I hope my and everyone else's suspicions about you are wrong but if you came here to scam, I think you have failed.

Bulls season is approaching and many topics aimed at luring newbies into scam projects and luring newbies into scam traps are springing up like mushrooms. I urge newbies to be as vigilant as possible and not greedy to avoid falling prey to scammers.

That is not completely true about Binance. Binance does not necessarily block any account. unless someone break their rules. or their are some involvment of govt which forces Binance to block some accounts.
I actually never heard of Binance Blocking any Account. and if you are planning to start trading then there is no point in withdrawing them to another wallet.
but as everyone else said Binance is a CEX after all and CEX have their own risks. and $8000 is a big money to risk like that.
if you are planning to just hold those money in form of a cryptocurrency then I suggest you go with a hardware wallet. The best hardware I can recommend is Trezor, ledger is also a good wallet but I heard a lot of bad news about them..

Binance is an exchange and it is not advisable to keep such amount of money in Binance,  the best place for you to store your bitcoin is in a non custodial wallet,  which can an electron wallet or blue wallet. Do not use exchange to store Bitcoin because it is a big and well known.  Exchange image not safe to store Bitcoin because it can be hacked by scammers . It is better to store your bitcoin in a wallet you alone have access to your wallet seed phrase.

[snuffman8]

It's great that you've earned $8,000 in BTC. Security is paramount, and it's a smart move to consider a reliable wallet. I'd recommend using hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor for maximum security. They offer offline storage, protecting your assets from online threats. Also, consider software wallets like Exodus or Atomic Wallet for a user-friendly experience.

[milewilda]

So, just like to know on whats the real thing about $200 bonus or reward on just simply giving some advise then
it turns out that this is simply just a scam attempt.



As we can see, he's really that trying to lure someone on making some deposit on resvex.com.
So newbies out there, better avoid on doing so.

Thread should be locked.

$8000 is a huge amount, you can quickly buy a hardware wallet and transfer bitcoins to that hardware wallet. What you have heard is true because many times Binance Exchange account gets blocked and causes various difficulties. Buy a hardware wallet as soon as possible without taking such a big risk and keep your bitcoins there. You can also keep your bitcoins in electrum wallet or blue wallet but the wallet seed phrase must be kept very safe.

[BTC_Dragon]

I can say as someone that's also fairly new to self-custody, Trezor has been a cake walk.

[Z390]

If you can invest that much in Bitcoin you should be able to afford $200 for a hardware wallet, the best place that's safest for your Bitcoin is a cold wallet, you can keep on Electrum like you are been told and this wallet is open source, but running Electrum wallet on your smartphone makes it always online, I believe it will be better if it's offline, find a hardware wallet that's fully open-source and also have high rep like Trezor and store your Bitcoin in them.

The Tezor Model T have good security and it's open source, this is why I consider it the best for Bitcoin, while Blue wallet is the best Bitcoin mobile wallet for me, Electrum wallet on PC is simply the best for Desktop PC, but like I've said, it's safer your Bitcoin are kept in a hardware wallet than on your computer, with hardware wallet you only have to look after your seed, but with computers you need to watch out for malware and spyware too, even viruses.

You always have to know and trust which links you click on to avoid mistakenly giving up control to hackers over your PC, it's not with it, is you have the money go hardware wallet.

Very good wallet suggestions in this thread except for the scammers attempt.

You can get the advice or suggestions you need here and there's no need to take the conversation to telegram except you've an ulterior motive.

The safest way to store your asset is by using a hardware wallet. Trezor, passport, jade, bitbox satochip, keepkey are good examples of open source hardware wallet you can choose from. If you cannot afford any of the above, software wallets like Electrum wallet, bluewallet, unstoppable wallet are also very good.
