If you don’t own the private keys, you don’t own the bitcoin(or ether). Coinbase is a fully licensed and regulated exchange, so it’s unlikely that they are going to steal your coins. However, almost every major exchange has been hacked at some point
So The point is if you own some good amount of coin you should choose hardware wallet like such as Trezor or Ledger Nano S to securely store them. Both hardware wallets I suggested are very user friendly and support both ETH and BTC. https://trezor.io/ and https://www.ledgerwallet.com/ . Both hardware wallets I suggested are very user friendly and support both ETH and BTC.
also there are some few words for these wallets is
"If you want to invest your Bitcoin and Ether for years without having to worry, you should buy one of these. With these you are completely independent. Even the FBI can’t access your money without busting in, stealing your wallet, and torturing you for the password.
One of the best things about this device is that, if it breaks or gets lost you can easily restore your balance. You just use your seed (24-word password) to transfer your balance to a new Nano S or another wallet."

Yes, I looked through all possible variations to keep BTC and came to realization that Lefger or Trezor are the safest option available.

Hi Ermoon, do you know how many different altcoins can you store in the Ledger Nano S device? (Apart from ETH).
