I have some Bitcoin and Ethereum on Coinbase since 2018. Coinbase never failed me, but they ask for more and more personal details. Last requests made me look for alternatives. I read wasabi is one of the best privacy focused wallets, but what do you use? Im not trying to hide anything from goverment or anything like that, I just want safe place for coins that doesnt feel like someone is tracking every single step I make

Edit: made sentence more clear

    A hardware wallet like the trezor, or if you want to read a bit into what ledger has been doing one of those (they had a few controversial changes)

    A hardware wallet is a great option, so is cold storage which you can do with a cheap $50 laptop. Most important is keeping backups. Think about how you will access your coins when your laptop or hardware wallet dies. Think about ways to prevent loss due to natural disaster. Multi-sig and shamirs secret sharing scheme are two ways to store coins in such a way that you won’t lose them if your house burns down without having to trust a single party to custody them.

    From worst to best places to store your crypto:

    1. Online KYC exchange
    2. Online non KYC exchange
    3. Offline on your computer/phone
    4. Offline on a USB key/SD card
    5. Offline on a cold storage like Ledger or Trezor

      What non KYC exchange exist today do you know? I guess I could use one in the future when I decide to exchange from crypto to crypto or from crypto to $

    Not your keys not your coins.

    If your just storing long term, look at paper wallets. Totally offline is the gold standard, it can’t be hacked
