Learn correct, good-practice ways to handle your Cryptocurrency. In this course, you'll learn the most secure ways to store your digital assets, pitfalls of each method, and pros and cons of each method. COLDÂ STORAGE Cold storage is when you store your Cryptocurrency offline so online hackers can't reach your Cryptocurrency.

PAPERÂ CRYPTOCURRENCYÂ ANDÂ BITOINÂ WALLETS This class focuses heavily on paper wallets because they are one of the common forms of cold storage.

Many hardware wallets are in the form of USB drives that are specifically made for storing and making transactions with Cryptocurrency. DIVERSIFYINGÂ YOURÂ STORAGE TYPES?
