When I first got into Bitcoin, I kept everything on an exchange because it was simple and convenient. As I learned more about self-custody, I started wondering whether convenience was worth the trade-off.
These days, there are plenty of ways to store Bitcoin, and everyone seems to have a different approach. Some people trust hardware wallets, others are comfortable leaving funds on reputable exchanges, and some prefer to split their holdings between multiple options.
Personally, I don't think there's a single "right" answer. It often depends on your experience, investment size, and how frequently you move your funds.
I'm curious to hear how others handle it.
Do you use a hardware wallet or keep your Bitcoin on an exchange?
If you use self-custody, which wallet do you trust the most?
What made you switch from one method to another?
Have you ever had a security scare that changed your approach?
I'd love to hear your experience and the reasons behind your decision.
