Coin
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin is usually the cleanest test case for a buy-and-store flow: broad exchange support, broad wallet support, and relatively clear custody choices.
For Bitcoin, the main decision is usually not whether you can buy it, but which exchange gives you the cleanest country/KYC/fiat route.

Critical guardrail: prevents Bitcoin-native recommendations and keeps Safe strictly EVM-scoped.
For storage, the real split is convenience versus self-custody discipline. Hardware wallets usually become more compelling as position size grows.
- • Users who want the clearest buy-and-store flow.
- • People comparing fiat-friendly exchanges against hardware-wallet storage.
- • Long-term holders who care more about custody quality than ecosystem complexity.
- • Users who actually want token-heavy DeFi tooling more than simple storage.
- • People expecting every country to have equally smooth onboarding.
