Crypto Wallet Advice Needed Please
I am needing a wallet and want to know what the community loves and trusts.
I currently use Bittrex and Coinbase for my trading and converting needs. The fees are so high tho :) Pololiex is not available in my area.
Also, as a single mom I do not have much funds so free or nearly free is necessary ;)
I would love a hardware wallet as one of mine, but I just can't afford one at this time.
Thank so much in advance!!

Coinbase has fees for transfers and you can't sell Bitcoin with it. I use QuadrigaCX, their services is excellent and quick. In that exchange, in your account, there is wallet for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ether, all separate, and you can fund with either of those, with CAD or USD. It's safe and secure. I transfer to there from Blocktrade and then to either my credit card (with very minimal fees) or my bank account (the no fee option). I've been with it since I've been on Steemit and I'm very satisfied with it thus far.
I'Ve since dropped my Coinbase account, it still exists as a backup, but I don't have anything in it anymore.
Otherwise, I have a Neo wallet for my Antshares and GAS tokens, which is something else altogether and was complicated to set up, so Frank did that for me.
Oh and Quadriga is free. You just need to validate your account with a picture of yourself holding ID, and a picture of your ID and of a proof of address. They checked mine within 2 days, and I had a question since I don't have a passport nor a driver's liscence, and they replied within 2 days, on a Sunday.
If you decide to check them out, don'T hesitate to reach out. You can also contact them directly, they'll reply quickly enough.
This is a very comprehensive. And no fee to the bank account? Wow. I am definitely going to check them out.
Thank you
:) My pleasure. They have q faster transfer option, which does have fees, but they have the free option which I usually take. If you're not in a hurry and you don't mind waiting a bit, it's definitely worth it.
I agree- most don't even offer a free option
Exodus. Hands down winner. You have all your private keys. Easy to use.

I've put some spaces in so you know you aren't going to a scammy site.
What do you mean by you have all your private keys? Only you?
Do you mean that only you have your private keys?
I've also been using exodus and I really like it; a clear UI and lot's of currencies are supported and more are continuously added.
The owner of the wallet is the only one with access to the keys, I believe. Here's a simple tutorial on how to view them.
Cool, thank you!
Sorry for the double comments! Steemit keeps eating my comments and then regurgitating them after I re-comment!!!
Don't worry. Steemit is dropping comments/posts and upvotes all over the place at the moment. Tim Cliff has a post about it.
Correct. If your money is on an exchange you don't have the private keys.
I see. Ok, thank you!!
@arbitrarykitten I recently got introduced to Eidoo. Check it out! I think it's pretty cool! :)

Exodus desktop wallet seems pretty good.
That's what coo said, too.
That's two for Exodus!
Thank you :)
Good post. I just started looking for the same yesterday. Exodus was my first read but I haven't gotten very far with researching. I'd like to be able to use the wallet on a USB drive. Looking forward to the replies that you get. Following:Upvoted.
Awesome! I was hoping this could help someone else as well!
Wonderful meeting you Mike :)
Yes it did. Well it looks like Exodus is a winner with Mycelium for mobile and some also-rans. I'll need to continue with my Exodus research then. I just got the NEON wallet working today. I felt I had to get my NEO off of Bittrex due to their issues. It's a lot of work being your own bank ;)
It was a pleasure meeting you as well!
Yes! Glad to help!
I'm looking into Exodus right now :) It is a lot of work- BUT at least the power is ours- not the banks!
Have a wonderful evening!
If you need to store Bitcoin, Electrum has been a good wallet for me. But it does only store Bitcoin. On Android you can also go with Mycelium and Copay.
Hey you!
How secure are android ones?
3 for Exodus. ;-)
Although it's possible that I like it just because you can change the skin to make it look like it has a wooden background hehe!
lol how cool!
I use electrum (electrum.org) since I started with Bitcoin. It's easy to use, very stable and approved. You don't need to download the whole Blockchain and you have your private keys.
On my phone I use "mycellium".
Oh cool, so it fits your needs so well you haven't had to go looking for anything else!
