Would you say Metamask is the best option to keep CEX-purchased Altcoins based on ETH? I am reading mixed things on "MEW" and it seems lacking compared to the Bitcoin BIP39-wallet I generated. Would love a paper wallet for my altcoins if possible.

FYI I am not into Ledger / Treznor after the issues they had + I don't like the idea of being locked out of a hardware wallet

Would you say MetaMask is the best option for storing ETH-based altcoins purchased from a CEX? I’ve been looking into alternatives like MEW (MyEtherWallet), but it seems a bit outdated compared to the Bitcoin BIP39 wallet I generated. I also like the idea of cold storage or a paper wallet for long-term safety, but I haven’t seen a clear method for ETH-based tokens.

Is MetaMask my best bet here, or is there a more secure/offline option I should consider? Would love to hear what others are using for ERC-20 tokens.
