My path to Exodus.
The first time i opened Exodus i new this was the Blockchain Asset Wallet for me.
As a new Crypto enthusiast (beginner to bitcoin etc) we tend to look for the best option to hold our Crypto currencies. Finding the right solution can turn into days/weeks of testing before we find something that suits our needs and personality.
If your like me and you like to get your hands dirty and test the absolute sh** out of whatever your trying to use, then you will find many wallets to keep you busy for a while. I have used and tested many desktop and mobile as well as cold storage wallets, some of these include: Bitcoin Core, Armory, Electrum, Breadwallet, Mycelium, Airbitz, Jaxx, Blockchain, Coinbase and many more.
I spent literally months testing/using every wallet i could get my hands on. As you get more involved with the #Crypto world, you will most likely start using more than one currency ie: Bitcoin/Ethereum/Dash etc. This becomes an issue because there are limited options for storing multiple Blockchain assets. I literally had a wallet for each currency scattered everywhere
You will also find exchanging between currencies can be a pain in the butt and just becomes more of a risk and a task.
As a new user to #Bitcoin (because that's normally what everyone buys first) you also become very paranoid you might lose your coins by way of theft, or even sending them to the wrong address. I know when i first started purchasing Bitcoin i was scared as hell of losing my stash, this was one of the main reasons i went hunting for the best solution for storing my assets.
Every wallet i installed was great until my knowledge of Crypto increased and i wanted to store and exchange more currencies. I also found trading Bitcoin was a way to make some extra profit, so i needed somewhere to store my profited assets.
Not everyone cares about the way an app looks or feels when they use it, they are more interested in it's functionality, and that's fine that's just not me. I want the best of both worlds, Functionality and the look to go with it, and if possible have some form of customization by way of skins etc, finding an app that has all of these traits is no easy task . Having a personal customized app makes it all that much more awesome to use on a daily basis. And of course let's not forget security - I want a nice easy way to backup my SEED via a PASSPHRASE.
Another very important (to me one of the most important ) aspect of an app is REGULAR UPDATES to improve it's overall abilities. I also look to see if it is a large company or a smaller team that has created the app, you may ask why right?. Well from personal experience with creating software for a virtual world i know and understand the attention to detail that is injected into a project when the team is very small. I am not saying that larger teams don't produce quality , all i am saying is i prefer to get on the ground floor with something i can see has potential and received that little extra love and tender care.
So if you mix and find something with the 'regular update/improvements' and the 'extra attention to detail' factor you are most likely going to find something special.

What makes Exodus unique?
- Exodus connects to peer-to-peer with every coin that it supports. No OTHER multi-asset wallet does this. This gives Exodus a unique advantage of real-time communication with other coin nodes.
- Ability to work with native USD with ShapeShift.
- Visual portfolio
- Ability to customize via skins, and in the future sounds.
- Multiple currencies (more to come)
So what can we expect from Daniel and JP in upcoming releases?
- More currencies to be added (if/when Shapeshift implements Steem, Exodus will also include it.) And they are very keen to make that happen.
- API for plugin support
- 2 Factor Hardware Support
- New skins
- Mobile versions
I will be creating more videos for Exodus on my YouTube channel if you have the desire for more.
Thanks to @exodus (Daniel,JP) for unleashing this thing of beauty to the masses.
Thanks to @thedashguy for the initial Exodus link he posted that brought it to my attention:)

What?!?! No mention of being able to hold Steem?!?!?
Oh dont worry they are looking into it...There are currently no Steem wallets. The reason is it is so new and as you can see still in beta. But be assured if ShapeSfhit implements then Exodus will also through ShapeShift.
I finally caught the Shapeshift continuance on Steem. Got it.
Gonna try it - do a lot of eth & btc
