Is it better to use a desktop wallet or a web-based wallet for storing cryptocurrencies?

Desktop wallets offer better security as they store cryptocurrencies offline, reducing the risk of online hacks.
Web-based wallets are more convenient for accessing funds from any device with internet connectivity.
Desktop wallets require proper backup and maintenance, while web-based wallets often handle these aspects for the user.

Got a quick question for y'all. Been dabbling in crypto and wondering, should I go with a desktop wallet or stick to a web-based one for keeping my coins safe? What are the pros and cons of each? Any security tips? Cheers.

Totally depends on how you roll with security and convenience, you know? Desktop wallets give you more control over your keys, which means better security. But, they're only as safe as your computer. If you're not up on the tech security side, a web wallet's easier to use – just make sure it's with a reputable provider. Just remember to keep that computer clean from malware if you go desktop and maybe look into using hardware wallets if you're holding a decent amount of coin. Stay safe!

If you're frequently trading, a web wallet might be more convenient since it's accessible from various devices. Just check the wallet’s track record for security breaches. Meanwhile, consider how heavy crypto user you are, as it might reflect your choice between convenience and security.
