Is it safer to store virtual currency in a digital wallet or on a trading platform?

My personal suggestion is: store less currency on major exchanges, and store more currency with multi-signature wallets.

Of course, this is not absolute, because major exchanges can also run away, such as 1tx, and multi-signature wallets can also lose coins due to mismanagement. Additionally, some banks like DBS* can also store large amounts, but the security of banks also depends on personal perception. There are many nuances here, and it's hard to explain everything at once; often, safety is entirely relative. For example, an unsafe imtoken+ has worked fine for me for a long time, but who can guarantee it will never have problems?

Let me mention a few of the most unsafe options: first, closed-source hardware, such as Ledger*, using it is just for naive people with too much money, the official can withdraw your funds at any time. In fact, open-source hardware+ is also not safe, because it is too easy to install backdoors.

Second, closed-source hot wallets can be hacked or may be stolen by the officials.

Now let's talk about relatively safe options:

Store on major exchanges, store in banks.

Use open-source Android or iOS wallets, avoid Windows or Linux.

Use offline wallets.

Use multi-signature wallets.

Finally, the absolutely safe option:

Homemade offline multi-signature wallets, the only choice for those with a lot of coins. #比特币关键区间
