Do you keep your altcoins in the hosted wallets on the exchanges

If youre actively trading them then keep them on the exchange. If youre holding them for weeks+ pull them out.

Honestly mine are on the exchange right now. I like the liquidity of being able to dump something off quickly.

Also, I don't really trust myself with a wallet. But after seeing all these hacked stories I'm considering getting a Ledger.

Never, I always withdraw to my wallets after every trade

Don't your find yourself getting reamed by withdrawal fees? Or do you not trade enough for it to matter?

Majority are in wallets but I have a few stuck on the exchange because I just dont have the space for all that fucking blockchain data.

Enable 2fa and download google authenticator. It will be nearly impossible to hack your account

I'm currently too lazy to actually get a bitcoin wallet so I've taken to leaving everything that's not my eth on there. I have 2fa, so I figure it's good enough.
Also, withdrawal and transfer fees are hard to calculate so I usually just ignore them, but it's frustating to see your money sink down a toliet. Lately I've taken to just buying a somewhat-reputable coin and setting a high sell order then just leaving the site for days hoping it will execute.

lol, yeah, because exchanges themselves don't "lose" your coins!

paper wallets and even encrypted wallets aren't safe if you have malware on your computer at any period during the creation, storing, or selling period

Malwarebytes.com - make sure you download and make sure there is none on your computer

Also make sure you have a good firewall installed on your computer or router and that there are no open ports a hacker has access to.

Honestly.. buy a chromebook and only use it for crypto exchanges and the like. It's safer than Mac or Window OS computers. It can never get viruses or malware. You still have to worry about phising attempts but the ublock origin extension does a good job.

And its also nearly impossible to hack bittrex right? A site that has millions of $$$ and probably targeted 24/7 by hackers looking for exploits

Yeah nah.......... all safe. Bittrex must employ top security in the world right? No wait........ they're like 5 people.

I will laugh when your coins get stolen, while mine are in cold storage, safe and sound.

the only think you have to worry about with a chromebook is the extensions you install or the apps (if you have a chromebook that supports the android play store)
