How do you do that? Seperate ap? i have no idea how to download my coins so only exist on my device or a usb

Piece of paper
2011 called and asked for their notepad back.
Put it in your rfid-protected wallet
depending on what coin you have, some of these coins have there own wallet you can use. otherwise ledger is the best bet. (careful of the fee's to and from exchange to ledger) if you hold less than 2k i'd just keep it on the exchange tbh.
Agreed especially btc
