Hot Wallet vs Cold: which one to choose? 🤔
If you are new to crypto, you have probably heard about hot and cold wallets. But what is the difference? Let's figure it out.
What is a hot wallet?
Simply put — it is a wallet that is always online. A mobile app on your phone, a web wallet in your browser, an app on your computer — all these are hot wallets. You don't need to do anything tricky. Download the app → create an account → gain access to crypto. One click — and you can receive or send coins.
Why are they needed?
Hot wallets are like a wallet in your pocket. Convenient, fast, suitable for daily transactions. Want to trade? Hot wallet is fine. Want to receive a payment somehow? Quickly copied the address - done.
But there is one but…
The more convenient it is, the less secure it is. A hot wallet is always online, which means it is potentially more accessible to hackers. If someone steals your private key — that's it, your crypto is gone.
How to minimize this?
What is the difference between types of hot wallets?
Web wallets are the fastest, but they depend on the site. Mobile wallets are convenient and portable. Desktop wallets are a bit more secure than web wallets, but less mobile.
Conclusion
A hot wallet is a good choice for active cryptocurrency trading. But if you have accumulated an amount that you do not plan to trade often, consider a cold wallet. Cold wallets are stored offline, such as hardware wallets, paper wallets, they are much safer but less convenient. The ideal situation is a combination: hot for everyday use, cold for long-term storage.
