For a while I had my crypto balance split between Coinbase and Binance. It wasn't a huge amount that I would go nuts if I lost, but after reading more about offline wallets and understanding them better, I decided it was time.
There could only be benefit.
So I added all my currencies to a Delta profile so that I could track them all in one place (didn't bother with recording the proper dates and historical coin prices — so my overall delta isn't accurate, but my balance is). Then I found the respective desktop wallets for my coins and tested them out with small amounts before withdrawing everything.
The withdrawal fees are totally worth the peace of mind that I have now. My private keys are completely secured now offline and I am the master of my security, rather than an exchange.
I've been invested in crypto for over a year (originally just Bitcoin), but I didn't properly learn what I was doing until the last couple months, and I recommend that anyone who is more new to the crypto-world should get over that 'stumbling block' of offline wallets. It's not complicated and it doesn't even take that long.
Take your security into your own hands. Cheers guys.
