I was having a conversation with @phabulu just few minutes ago and he was saying he is now trying to use Electrum wallet and can tell that this is a very good decision he made. With an Electrum wallet a bitcoin user has his freedom, full control but there are some procedures one really need to follow so that they do not experience of losing their fund or any other kind of risk. I already posted them for phabulu but for better visibility I thought to create this topics. Here is what you need to read:
I really hope this will be very helpful for the new users who are thinking to taste a desktop wallet. Remember with exchange and hot wallets (online wallets) your coins are not safe at all. So please either use a safe desktop wallet or use hardware wallet. Sometime some paper wallet has vulnerability too but an Electrum wallet is very safe if you just follow the above safety procedures.
Stay safe. Feel free to share you thoughts.
