🧩 What is a cold wallet and why should you know about it?

A cold wallet is a way to store cryptocurrencies offline.

This makes it much more secure against hacks, phishing, and malware. 🛡️

🔐 Types of cold wallets:

► Hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor (physical USB-like devices)

► Paper wallets, where you print your private keys and address

► Air-gapped wallets, installed on completely disconnected devices

📊 Advantages:

Maximum security for long-term HOLD

Ideal for storing large sums without the risk of online attacks

⚠️ Disadvantages:

If you lose the device or the seed phrase… there is no “recover password” button 😬

Less practical for making frequent transactions

🎯 Pro tip: the ideal is to combine a hot wallet (for daily use) with a cold wallet (for significant reserves).
