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?

Don't get into crypto. It's only useful for scams and money laundering.

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.

Narrator: "It didn't".

I’m not a crypto investor, but I, like you bought some Ethereum with the same belief. It’s an intrinsically valuable currency.

Dawg my country got it's own thing going with payments, where it's like GPAY but government official and uses a scanner/qr system attached to regular currency(connected to banks).

I don't see crypto fitting in at all
