I agree with your advice on learning about bitcoin wallets. And your tip OP to avoid exchange wallets as beginner is good advice. Instead use a non custodial wallet that lets you control your assets. When choosing wallet download it from official website to avoid fake apps and security risks. If we have a lot of bitcoins we should use an offline wallet for extra security. And we should keep in mind that our seed phrase is like a key to your assets we should keep it safe. And we know if we lose that so we will lose our assets.
Providing strong security for someone’s assets should always be everyone’s concern. However, there are always a few people who are more concerned about how to provide their assets with strong security. Some investors have lost their assets, not because of anything inherent, but because their assets were stored in places where they shouldn’t have been. Many have stored their assets in exchanges, and when the exchange collapsed, they lost their funds. It is crucial for any newbie who doesn't know about wallets to learn and stop storing their funds in exchanges where they will not have full control of their assets. Additionally,if anything goes wrong with the exchange where funds are kept, some will hardly have peace of mind. Learning about wallets should be among the first things newbies need to do, so that whenever they start storing their funds, they no will try to use custodial wallets.
