Store offline

A hardware wallet, also called a crypto wallet or bitcoin wallet, is a kind of USB flash drive for your crypto coins. Because you don't store the bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies online or on your computer, you have much less chance of being hacked. You can hang a Ledger hardware wallet on your keychain. This way, you don't have to carry it around in your pocket or bag, which makes it less likely to get lost.

If you still lose your bitcoin wallet or it's stolen, it's still secured with a password or PIN. In addition, most wallets have data encryption to make files unreadable for the outside world. You can always recover your crypto coins with a preset string of 24 words. This way, you can be sure you can always keep your valuable coins.
