I was in your exact situation last year! Moving off exchanges is definitely the right move for long-term holders. What helped me was finding a comprehensive guide that walks through everything from choosing the right type of wallet to implementing proper security protocols. I found this excellent resource (in French, but browser translation works perfectly) that covers Bitcoin portfolio security and management in detail: www.iccgov.org/portefeuille-bitcoin-securite-gestion/ It breaks down cold storage options, seed phrase security, and even discusses inheritance planning for crypto assets. The practical advice gave me the confidence to properly secure my holdings.
