  504. It’s estimated that about 17% of the bitcoin that will ever be in circulation has been lost—as in misplaced, keys forgotten, and so on. A Bitcoin address is a string that consists of numbers and letters — typically 26–35 characters long — that serves as a unique identifier on the network, allowing users to store, send and receive Bitcoin. Think of it as an email address: anyone who knows your address can send BTC to it, just like they can write you an email. Some wallets only hold a single asset, such as Bitcoin Wallets are quite popular, you can learn more about those in our Bitcoin Wallet review, while the best multi-cryptocurrency wallets are often considered the ones on this list for hardware wallets, or popular wallets like Exodus, Trust Wallet, or the Coinbase wallet are also very popular.

    Ledger Nano S Plus is a secure, high-quality, and easy-to-use crypto hardware wallet. The wallet, which has many of the features of Nano X at nearly half the price, has been among the most preferred cold wallets of crypto investors since its launch. Prior to the invention of hardware wallets, paper wallets were the only cold storage option available in the early days of crypto. A paper wallet can be created by printing out a private and public key. Once funds are sent to the public key, they are taken offline, and can only be accessed by sweeping the private key into a hot wallet. The potential for user error here is substantial, and paper wallets are not often used anymore. For those serious about safeguarding their cryptocurrency, the Jade is a solid choice for cold storage. Its focus on open-source software, decentralization and giving users control of their own keys aligns with the ethos of the crypto community.
