Wallet Picker · Exchange, Hot or Cold

Where you keep your coins really comes down to balancing convenience against safety. The more you hold and the less you touch it, the more the scale should tip toward safety. The four questions below are never sent anywhere — the answer is computed on the spot, and it is gone the moment you close the page.

Question 1 / 4

Roughly how much crypto do you hold?

A few hundred to a few thousand dollars (a mishap would not break you) A few thousand to tens of thousands (losing it would really hurt) Tens of thousands or more (this has to be treated as a serious asset)

Question 2 / 4

How often do you move these coins?

Often — trading, transfers, on-chain activity Now and then — a few times a month Holding for the long haul — might not touch it for half a year

Question 3 / 4

How comfortable are you with the technical side?

Total beginner — still wrapping my head around seed phrases and private keys Used a wallet before — roughly know how to back up and transfer Comfortable — managing keys, signing and switching networks myself is no problem

Question 4 / 4

When you have to choose, which side matters more?

Convenience — usable any time, without too much hassle Safety — slower is fine, I cannot afford to lose it

A note: this is a starting point, not a final answer. Everyone has details a tool cannot account for — inheritance plans, whether you travel a lot, whether you have a safe at home. When you are unsure, leaning toward safety is never the wrong call, and the more money is involved the more that holds. This tool is not investment or financial advice.
