Wallets. What do you guys recommend -- I did a bit of researching and settled for now on Atomic, after initially looking at single coin-specific wallets.

>internet wallets
lmao no
>Software wallets
Right now I'm comfortable with this since I'm living alone and have complete control over my computer, but maybe this would change if I end up with $5k+ balance
>Hardware wallets
I was looking at the Ledger, are hardware wallets a meme in that they are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist or are they legitimate long-term storage solutions?
>Paper wallets
I'd rather have the convenience of managing all my different coins/tokens from a single device or service

What do you guys do

From what I understand doing research today:
Unless you can inspect and verify that the server providing your wallet is running software without ulterior motives, they basically fall down to "dude trust me". Software based ones you can at least verify with hashes or PGP signatures to know that a certain downloaded installer is what its publisher says it is.
The other benefit is that your keys aren't accessible at any time--even if hot wallet sites have security in place, keeping your coins there could end up causing problems if an unfortunate vulnerability is found which gives attackers access to your keys. The server is always on which keeps the risk constant
