I recommend checking out this interesting article: <a href="https://www.chusmeando.com/informatica-y-tecnologia/solucion-xampp-error-en-localhost-al-abrir-el-browser/” title=”XAMPP error solution on localhost when opening the browser” class=”internal-recommendation” target=”_self” rel=”noopener”>XAMPP error solution on localhost when opening the browser.

Hey, folks, I’m going to tell you quickly and clearly how to save those cryptos you have (Bitcoin, Ethereum and the rest) so they don’t get stolen or you don’t lose your money. Because yes, this isn’t like saving money in a regular wallet, here everything is digital and you have to be careful.

  1. In an exchange (a site like Binance, Coinbase, or Bitstamp that holds your money for you).
  2. In your own “wallet,” which is like a digital purse that you control yourself.

If you leave them in an exchange, the problem is that they hold the keys, so it depends on how secure they are. But if you want to control them yourself, you have to understand how public and private keys work (the public one is like your address, and the private one is the secret key that no one else can see).

Types of wallets out there

  • Online: The ones you use from the browser. They’re easy for buying and selling quickly, but watch out, because if someone hacks the site, they can rob you.
  • Desktop: A program you install on your PC that stores your keys there. Safer if your computer is clean and virus-free, but if malware gets in, they can mess you up.
  • Mobile: Apps on your phone to use crypto on the go. Very convenient, but you have to pick a secure app and enable things like two-factor authentication.
  • Paper: Yes, believe it or not. You print your keys on a piece of paper and store it somewhere safe. Super offline and secure, but to use it you have to enter those keys manually, and that’s a bit of a hassle.
  • Hardware: A kind of USB that stores your keys offline. It’s the most secure, because it’s not connected to the internet and you avoid getting hacked. When you want to use it, you plug it into the computer and that’s it.
  • Store most of your cryptos in “cold” storage (hardware or paper), and only leave in the apps or exchanges what you need to use quickly.
  • Back up your keys, but in safe places and never share them.
  • Use strong passwords and enable two-step verification.
  • Keep your computer and phone free of viruses and up to date.
  • And watch out, if you have a lot of money in cryptos, consider leaving instructions so someone you trust can access them if something happens.

If you don’t want to complicate things, you can also leave everything in a good, secure exchange, like Bitstamp or Robinhood, which usually store almost everything in cold storage and have very robust systems to protect it. But of course, there you don’t control your keys, so you have to trust them.

That’s all, folks. With this you can now be more relaxed with your crypto and stop stumbling around. If anyone knows any more tricks or wants to share their experience, let them drop it down below, because it’s always good to learn from each other.
