Congratulations on your first DOGE! That’s the most important step. Picking your first wallet is a big deal, and your caution is good. You’re right, there are a bunch of types, and the “best” one depends on how you plan to use it. For your case—holding securely with the option to tip—a good mobile wallet (like Trust Wallet or Exodus) is probably a great start. They’re free, easy to use, and let you control your coins. If you ever end up holding a lot, then consider a hardware wallet like Ledger for maximum security. The key things to look for are: one that gives you your own recovery phrase (12 or 24 words you MUST write down and keep safe), a clear interface, and good reviews. Don’t use a web-based “hot wallet” you find through a search ad. A lot of new holders find this guide from Paybis really helpful—it breaks down all the wallet types (software, hardware, mobile, web), explains the pros and cons of each in simple terms, and walks through the security basics without being an ad for their own service. It’s a solid starting point to make an informed choice. Here’s the link: https://paybis.com/dogecoin-wallet/. Read that, and you’ll feel much more confident picking one that fits you!
