ill sell you some monopoly money for $6400

It's the easiest to use for beginners it's what I started with but they don't give you a wallet they actually hold on to your coins and have been talking about doing some fishy stuff for the upcoming Fork, that's why I ended up ordering a hardware wallet

Nah, all my money is tied up in ETFs (emerging markets weighted) and ultimately backed by tangible assets. When I want to gamble, I go to vegas.

I mean, you should create a hardware wallet if you have a non-trivial amount of funds
blockchain is good for a web-wallet afaik, it's what I use when I need to pay my VPN, but you shouldn't store anything significant there, since there is a (albeit very low) chance it could get hacked

Use coinbase's gdax to avoid fees. Always make it a priority to get your coin off coinbase and into whatever wallet you end up choosing because they have shady and malicious practices.

OK thanks , how safe is the hardware wallet ? Like virtually can't get hacked ? Lose my money/coins/data ?

Also I calculated how much I would have if I bought at 2 dollars , I would have 327 billion dollars, that's kinda hard to believe

I had 16,000 in cash when I lived with my mom,had a job making 22 an hour and I managed to stop blowing it on 360 /ps3 games back then and was just saving up for home /land since then had a kid and wife so I'm not in the same boat anymore, was just thinking of the path I didn't walk and where I would be now
