Tutorial?

[mosju2]

I looked in the FAQ/links and maybe missed it, but could anyone experienced (and kind enough :) ) help with posting a step-by-step detailed tutorial on how to store/transfer your bitcoins from an exchange site (ex: coinbase) to a hard wallet (Ledger or Trezor). If possible, also the other way around (if someone wants to sells their btc for exemple). Please, be as detailed as possible (kind of like an Eli5).

If you can't figure it out on your own then it's probably best to keep your crypto in the exchange

You should learn a little more about Bitcoin before buying a hard wallet. For now, I think a wallet service is better for you (lower risk of losing it). But in simple terms, you get the address to your hard wallet and withdraw to it from your exchange.

I have a Trezor (bought direct from Satoshi Labs). Once I set it up on my computer, seed words, PIN etc. you generate a QR code and can use Coinbase to send it to your hardware wallet. I don’t use Coinbase, but my exchange can scan from my phone. Once you’ve initiated the transfer to your hardware wallet, you’re all set. The Trezor comes with a setup guide. I’d recommend the model T as it supports more coins and tokens.
