Keep these points in mind about cold and hot wallets:
1) A cold wallet is one where the private keys are generated and stored entirely offline. Hardware wallets are a common example.
2) If you import a hardware wallet’s recovery phrase into a mobile or browser extension wallet, the private keys are then on an internet-connected device, so it no longer qualifies as a cold wallet.
3) Store assets you don’t plan to move for a long time in a cold wallet, and keep only a small amount for everyday use in a hot wallet.
Many people store the $BTC they plan to hold long term in a cold wallet, and keep the funds they need for daily use in a hot wallet.
