Wallets are a crucial part of functioning in the cryptocurrency market. They are a must-need essential that every cryptocurrency user has and most of them have more than one. The most important features that people look for in cryptocurrency wallets are the safety features and the privacy features.
After they are satisfied with the safety features the first thing that people check out is whether the coins that they want to buy are supported by the wallet they want to use and then the decision is made as to which wallet they should use. Other features and factors that are taken into account are whether the wallet is a cold one, whether the wallet charges money for services, etc. While most exchanges and peer-to-peer platforms offer wallet services, not all of them are worth the risk and some of them are clear-cut no’s.
There are five questions you should ask yourself before deciding which wallet to go for and they are;
- Does it support all the coins that you want to buy, store and own?
- How safe is it? What is its safety history?
- Is there a subscription cost? If so, how much?
- Is it a hot or a cold wallet?
- Is it mobile? Does it have an application?
