RE: What if a crypto coin doesn't have a wallet? 💲💲💲

in #crypto • 8 years ago

Some coins are actually coins on the Ethereum (or other) blockchain, so sometimes if it is an ERC-20 token (that's what Ethereum tokens are called) you can store it in an Ethereum wallet. My Ether Wallet is the most popular one that supports a wide range of popular ERC-20 tokens.

It really depends on the coin though. I imagine Binancecoin might not have it's own wallet, for example (not sure though) since the coin is part of the exchange. Which coin are we talking about?

Sort:  

Funny enough binance was one I was thinking about...but I guess if the exchange dies so does binance sooooo that one really doesn't matter much lol.

And now that I went back into https://www.myetherwallet.com/ I just realized a lot of the coins I thought had to stay on the exchange are available to hold on that wallet!

Thanks for making me double check @pandorasbox

Yes Binance I would assume does not have it's own wallet (yet?). They'd much rather you use the exchange instead!
I actually stay away from coins like that for this reason. I'd love to buy some WTC but I can't figure out what place I can store them that isn't an exchange..

My Ether wallet https://www.myetherwallet.com/ is the adress.. be sure to use that and not ethereum as you wrote, or you might end up somewhere scammy! :)

Agreed and good catch on the https://www.myetherwallet.com/

I switched it on my response too just to make sure I don't mislead someone! ;)
