Any answer here that includes the word bitcoin will be downvoted to oblivion, but it was the right answer 10 years ago and it is still the right answer today. Ignore and downvote at your peril!
So I have a Coinbase account and from all their free crypto promotions I have around $150 of Eth. I'd like to start adding some more to this to hold very long-term - is there a certain exchange or some other way you'd recommend, like Kraken or a hardware wallet?
