What is the best bitcoin wallet at the moment? I just started with Coinbase, but they only offer to buy/sell BTC/ETH and I would like to get in on other coins as well.
-Which wallets are really secure?
-What has the most affordable fees? (anything like Robinhood currently that's commission free?)
-What are some good tips in keeping your wallet secure?
Any help is appreciated?
Bumping for some kind soul to help

I've always used Electrum, never had an issue.

Because this seems like a genuine post I will answer in the best way I can.
Fully identify yourself (takes a few days) and buy as much ETH as you directly through your bank. Max is five thousand/week. Do this as many weeks you can afford.
Then download ETH wallet and store it in there. Or send some to a reputable exchange like Bittrex, where you can trade ETH for bitcoin.
Fees are a lot less on Coinbase if you draw directly from your bank account. Debit/Credit card fees are higher, ~3% I believe. Each time you send your ETH or any cryptocurrency, you're charged a small network fee.
I don't know if a lot of coiners use Robinhood.

You can get a little more creative with a subsidiary of coinbase called gdax, although it's not an app. Yet.

I'll take a look, I want to make sure I'm not throwing coins into some fly by night operation, but thankfully I have to wait a few days before I get access to my 4 ETH, pathetic I know but I'm just starting

Thanks I appreciate it. I guess there really isn't any way of avoiding those fees, I'd like to do a lot of smaller trades since I don't have much weight right now and those little .5%-2% fee's are going to nibble away at my profit margins but I guess that's just the cost of doing business.
So how about taxes? Do you only claim them if you pull your money out and you made a profit? Or do you still have to claim stuff even if you lost money?
Again thanks :)

Good to know! I'll check it out.
Use bittrex for trading and set up 2fa. That will make it nearly impossible for your account to be hacked into. Remember to write down your security code or print the qr code.

I ponied up and bought a Trezor because I don't feel software wallets are safe enough.
