This reminds me of my early days in crypto. Trezor was the new thing back then, the Ledger Nano had not been invented yet I believe.

With crypto, like in every aspect in life, better to be safe than sorry so... I always recommend using one of these hardware wallets.

And remember: Holding coins in the exchanges is a HUGE risk, its not worth it! If you don´t own the private keys to your coins, you don´t own the coins at all.
