I certainly want a self custody wallet. I have now installed exodus, it
looks nice...
[related off-topic rant about exchanges:]
I had bad experiences with etoro.
This is where I bought some BTC and ETH years ago (with my good luck,
right in the moment of the highest price :-) ). I just left it there, it
was free. From January on they will charge high fees, so I wanted to
transfer it to an own wallet.
Etoro makes it the most complicated and expensive possible to leave its
money-collecting-platform: you can't transfer directly to your wallet.
You first have to install etoro's own wallet on your phone and transfer
it to there. This costs hell a lot. Only then you can transfer it again
to another wallet.
The worst is that you can only transfer cryptos of a minimum amount and
you can only transfer the ones you have bought one trade by one.
I bought twice ETH for 250$. I cannot transfer those 2 buyings together.
Because for one buying I got less ETH than etoro's transfer minimum this
means that those 250$ are lost for me. They stay for ever at etoro
without that I can use them.
I could withdraw them, but that means exchange them to $ again, i.e.
realizing the loss plus paying high costs for the widthdraw.
So I would never ever again in my life use such a platform. The business
model though is fantastic: you pay money and for this you get a number
than you can admire on your screen, and from January on you even have to
pay to see this number. Wow.
