Also, could you discuss the convenience factor in relation to both types of wallets? Is it easier to access and use funds with a hot wallet despite its potential security concerns? Lastly, are there any scenarios where a hot wallet might be more suitable than a cold wallet? Thank you for your insights.

Should I really consider keeping all my crypto assets in a single cold wallet? Isn't it risky to have everything concentrated in one place? What happens if that wallet gets compromised? Wouldn't it be safer to diversify and store them in multiple wallets? But then, wouldn't that make managing them more complex? Is there a balance I should aim for? How do I weigh the pros and cons of this decision? I'm really torn between convenience and security. What's your opinion on this?

Could you please clarify for me if MetaMask functions as a cold wallet? I've heard different opinions on this matter and am trying to understand its exact nature and security features. Does MetaMask store private keys offline, or does it rely on other security measures? Is it suitable for long-term storage of cryptocurrencies, or is it more geared towards day-to-day transactions? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
