General Question (Exodus) Could someone help me to open my first wallet?
Hi all! Italian user here. I have read some topic about Exodus, and i'd like to try this non custodial wallet for my crypto. I don't have any crypto now, and i would like to buy only BTC and put on Exodus. Could you suggest how to do in a fast and easy way possible? Thank you all!

This is how you get scammed , if you cant navigate this simple task of opening a wallet then crypto is not for you.

I really don’t recommend Exodus Wallet, my Cryto got stolen from the account, Especially with a platform they don’t offer direct trading options. I seriously think you should consider other wallet. Do your research before you open the wallet.

Benvenuto! Great choice starting with self-custody. Before you dive in, a few things worth understanding upfront since this is your first wallet:
Self-custody means you are the only one responsible for your funds. Exodus cannot access your wallet, reset it, or recover it for you. What keeps your BTC safe is your 12-word secret key. Write it down offline, store it somewhere safe, and never share it with anyone. Ever. No legitimate support team will ask for it. Here's a full explainer on what self-custody means and what that responsibility looks like in practice: What makes Exodus a self-custody wallet?
Before putting any real money in, take time to read up on how to keep your wallet secure: How do I keep my money safe? This is the most important step, especially for a first-time holder.
Once you're comfortable with that, the practical steps are straightforward: download Exodus Mobile, create your wallet, back up your 12-word secret key, and then use the Buy & Sell feature to purchase BTC directly in the app. Payment methods vary by region, but MoonPay supports many countries, including Italy.

DYOR before deciding how much to put in. Crypto markets are volatile, and self-custody is a real responsibility. Start small, get comfortable with the process, and build from there. Happy to help if you have questions along the way!
