I hate hardware wallets.

I'm not against them, and I personally own a Ledger Nano S.

They're convenient and extremely secure, but if I want to move my Bitcoin to my exchange to catch a few profit points but I'm not with my Laptop, then certain bad things can happen to my emotions throughout the day.

Imagine missing a massive 60% bull run while you were at the Bahamas and left your laptop away, only to return home to try and find some profit and see that Bitcoin has already corrected.

Or you're on the way to work on the subway, and Bitcoin jumps 13%. You'd be devastated. At least I know I will.

Enter mobile wallets. They're convenient, easy to use and they act as the bridge between your puny phone processor and the Goliath that is the blockchain.

But convenience usually meant a compromise of security. Until now.

The trust wallet is possibly the best mobile wallet you can find. A mixture of elegance and pure functionality.

It gives you your private keys right off the bat, which is essential for any independent mobile wallet.(Luno doesn't give you your private keys. I'm starting to see a pattern with Luno, but that's for later).

And since the wallet isn't connected to any servers, there goes any hackers chance.

You can secure the wallet with your biometrics or a simple password, and this password or biometric identity will also be required of you before transactions are completed.

Now, how about the supported cryptocurrencies?

Well, peep this.

Trust wallet supports ALL ERC-20 ERC-115 and other ERC protocol enabled tokens. It also supports Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, basically almost any major cryptocurrency is supported.(Even Hydro is supported. It's really hard to find wallets for the stuff)

Trust wallet also has a DEX, where you can switch between many cryptocurrencies. You could, for instance, switch from Bitcoin to BAT, or from Doge to Ethereum, right in the app.

The pairs aren't as many as, say Changelly, but for NO fees, yes no fees, you can switch between cryptocurrencies and receive it in your wallet.

Any crypto pairs not supported on the app will take you to Binance, the official owner or Trust wallet. The pair is most likely there anyway.

There's also a DApp browser right in the app. There are sections in the browser area like "Earnings" in which the dApps there allow you to earn cryptocurrencies when you play. Then there are Decentralised wallets, exchanges and a host of other apps to try out there. There are even games there, not that I play any of them.

Overall the wallet is a great way for beginners to get started and for faucet and airdrop users to have all their assets in one place. There's also a dark mode of you like that kind of thing.
