If we talk about the example of some Cold***Ledger ,Nano S, secureX etc.*** As a cold wallets required a device for their work so that these have some cost. Different devices can be purchased with pre-installed software that can be used for the storage of assets. These wallets are not too much used because it is bit complex to use them are mostly used for the long term storage of assets to enhance the security. ------ ###

***Have you suffer any theft***

----- If we talk about the digital work or online work the first danger that raise in our mind is of hacking or facing any scams.Different peolple have to face many scams in their journey although in crypto or other digital works. Actually the scamers trap any trader or investor in the way of giving boost prizes and to get reward and sometimes we give our passwords and keys to them so that they excess our wallets and make it empty. So that there are many tricks of scamming. If I talk about my experience in the cryptor journey so I never face any scam but I am fair off and always took to care before investing in any kind of currency that proper research should be done. So lucky I have never face any kind of scam or my wallets are never hacked. I am conveniencely using the Crypto wallets but I should try the next too properly save my keys and password so that no one can access my wallets and didn't provide my keys to unlock links to prevent from hacking or scaming. ------ ###

Some Methods to protect Wallets.

----- Now I am going to talk about some methods of preventing my wallets. So that we can save our assets or currencies without any worry. - We should keep in mind that always use the strong password for the sake of security specially using the Capital and small letters and different characters also so that the security can be enhanced specially for the centralised wallets in the Crypto world. - Do not tell your password or didn't hear your keys with any one specially on the online unknown links on different social media ads. - Save your passwords properly in your USB or Write down on any page to prevent any kind of misuse hacking or scams. - Diversify your assets into different wallets so that mistakenly some of the word is hacked you can find it on any other place safely. - Don't Link your wallets to the third party without any kind of verification. If you are going to transfer make sure the passwords and keys are correct so that sometimes we mistakenly did not lost our assets. - Try to keep your assets in the decentralized wallet so that there will be less chance of hacking. - Make sure to secure properly your seed codes and phrases to prevent any worry in the future related to your assets or funds.

My Opinion About Hot and Cold Wallets

----- So now I am going to tell about my opinion about Hot and Cold wallets. - Cold wallets are more sure than that of the hot wallets. - Hot Wallets can be used easily in the presence of Internet while the Cold Wallets can be accessed offline. - Hot Wallets does not need any kind of external device for their working but cold wallets require any external device such as USB etc. - Hot wallets have the chance of hacking as well which make it less secure there is no chance of hacking in cold wallets. - Hot wallets are user friendly. ------ So this was some comparative points about the hot and cold wallets now I will talk about my preference so I will prefer hot wallets. As I don't need to store the assets for long time and make the exchange of currencies ealier. Another is reason is that I find the hot wallets more easy to use such as in the presence of internet we can easily eacess our assets and buy or sell currencies as well in a convienent way on my smartphone and don't need to carry any kind of device with me. For the security purpose high try to save my passcode and pins had the proper place so that can avoid from the hacking and scamming as well.So that was all my opinion about the hot and cold wallets. ---- ![45GhBmKYa8LQ7FKvbgfn8zqd6W2YEX34pMmaoxBszxVcFZsRDo7vjYSuxseGxNdCmTT6RZU1QARPR18gbzxxe5sgu6f7WM9jNayhxec963...NYQu8ow6YLrVWEVpFnezVHXe5aRPvAhtxkDW6NioBL7Ch5TWm14NJW18a19r1rWGVexRnpCvJCJ2Nsv369rsb4puFwNtPAjsqjeYGm6VAoc67zaUiANYL4H9sc.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQkiKMXfizXK4tCLeSr5cMC7KhQxo4SWYHqQHMaexvLdZ/45GhBmKYa8LQ7FKvbgfn8zqd6W2YEX34pMmaoxBszxVcFZsRDo7vjYSuxseGxNdCmTT6RZU1QARPR18gbzxxe5sgu6f7WM9jNayhxec963...NYQu8ow6YLrVWEVpFnezVHXe5aRPvAhtxkDW6NioBL7Ch5TWm14NJW18a19r1rWGVexRnpCvJCJ2Nsv369rsb4puFwNtPAjsqjeYGm6VAoc67zaUiANYL4H9sc.png) ------ ###
