Exchanges

Note: Exchanges provide highly varying degrees of safety, security, privacy, and control over your funds and information. Perform your own due diligence before selecting an exchange.

Personally, I use:

  • Gdax
  • Bittrex
  • Kraken
  • Gemini
  • Binance

Wallets

Note: In practice, most exchanges also function as wallets. That is, you can store your cryptocurrency on the exchange as well as trade it. However, exchanges have a history of being hacked and funds being stolen. If you have a material amount of cryptocurrency, the most secure solution is a hardware wallet. The two most popular hardware wallets are:

  • Trezor
  • Ledger

See Bitcoin.org’s Wallet Guide for a full set of options.
