Setting up a Paper Wallet

Paper wallet is considered to be the most safe and secure wallet to store your cryptocurrencies.  It is meant for those who are willing to store cryptocurrencies for future.

Paper Wallet is not suitable for day traders who trades/exchanges cryptocurrencies on daily/regular basis.

What is a paper wallet?

Paper wallets are basically an offline cold storage method of storing cryptocurrency. It involves printing out your public and private keys on a paper which you then store and save in a secure place.

The keys are printed in the form of QR codes which you can scan in the future for all your transactions. The reason why it is so safe is that it gives complete control to you, the user. You do not need to worry about the well-being of a piece of hardware, nor do you have to worry about hackers or any piece of malware. You just need to take care of a piece of paper.

Paper wallets are the safest option to store your cryptocurrencies. It is like printing your wallet on a paper and then storing that paper in a safe place.
