Yeah AQUA is much better for beginner. Its in fact my daily driver.

The problem comes with dealing with cold storage. The beginner friendly approach is to get a hardware wallet (which is a decent option). I happen to not be in love with idea of using "hardware wallets".

My concern with them is the "20 year problem". Is any of that going to work in 20 years? Will the computing device you are using have USB ports? Will the hardware even still work by then? etc etc.

Secondly, I got burned by Ledger back in 2018 or whenever their customer list got leaked...I mean the CEO just got kidnapped....not overly excited with having my name / address on someones mailing list.

good point...

I like CoinOS for beginners because they support on chain, lightning and liquid and it's browser based and no KYC and no password and based in Canada

regarding hardware wallets, I recommend Casa for multi-sig using Jade (plus or not) or Trezor

Ledger is unfortunate... I like Jade, Trezor or Cold Card

I'm a big fan of Casa multi-sig

yep regarding casa, they do it well.

Been thinking about the jade+ recently. It seems to have most of the features that I'm looking for...
