I’m getting into crypto and am thinking about setting up a cold storage wallet on a USB drive. Do any of you all have favorites you’d reccomend for a newbie like me?

      I can understand why you would say that, but I think in the coming decade we’ll see it come into much more mainstream use. Whether or not that’s true remains to be seen. I personally don’t mind sinking a little money into it to see if it goes anywhere, but I’m not dumping my retirement into it or anything.

    Coin Wallet on Linux repositories have worked fine for me.

    Honestly though, crypto isn’t worth your time. And half of the USB flash drives I had 10 years ago have failed, so don’t rely on them for a long time, or keep at least 2 other backup copies elsewhere.

    don’t listen to people to stay out of crypto, you do you.

    Check out sparrow waller, it’s a bit shinier than Electrum wallet and open source afaik
