So if we shouldn't be leaving our coins on coinbase, where do we leave them? A full wallet is not an option for many of us. I don't want to have to download 100's of gigs of data just to store my coins... I even tried to move from bitcoin to etherum since I thought that wallet might be smaller. And it was, but after leaving it running for 2 days it still had a ways to go and all the IO it was doing was really trashing my SSD.

At that point I looked into hot wallets like jaxx. But then on /r/jaxx, there were many people complaining about using jaxx only to have had their private keys stolen. So at that point I just left everything on coinbase :/ Is there any decent hot wallet out there or anything else?

Why don't you use a paper wallet or just keep your private key on a hard drive? Are you exchanging your bitcoins often?

order a Trezor and wait for it to arrive in February... until then, breath deeply.

Ledger Nano S took ~4 days to arrive from France to The Netherlands. During Black Friday mania. It has its pros and cons compared to Trezor so YMMV.

If you pay $20 extra, they will deliver Trezor's now in 3 days.
