Can i lose my coins for choosing the wrong wallet?

[tamango]

Yes there is this possibility, that's the main reason why I use an hardware wallet like Ledger Nano S or trezor to login to MEW or other wallets.

I think the wallet does not matter because any wallet has its own designated exchange compatibility so we should not afraid but instead we must keep our wallet from any hackers that may cause of losing our coins.

Obviously Yes. You will lose your tokens if the wallet is not right. Stick to your old address if nothing is wrong with it.

Yes, you can lose your coin if you choose the wallet incorrectly. because there are so many hackers who are looking for people to get coins for free. We recommend using a wallet that has been tested for quality and used by many people, and most importantly, keep your wallet private key.

Every coin has its own compatible wallet with which it supports. You cannot send BTC to an ERC based wallet. It is very necessary to know which wallet you choose for a particular coin. Moreover, with the ERC based coins, a lot of wallets have been generated in recent times but remember, not all wallets are worth keeping your coins. For ERC coins, the best wallet is "myetherwallet".

Yes, I agree mate. I prefer believe myetherwallet to keep my coin. I think It is secure.

Hardware wallets are the best of course, ledger or trezor.
However if you are trading, daily or swing you have to use software ones.
MEW is a great wallet for ERCs, always use it with Metamask extension. otherwise you may end up loosing your wallet...

And I am confident choosing myetherwallet for keeping my coins as a safer invironment that are already tested and relied for the long time. And we must be careful for the right information that will support to our wallet by avoiding wallet address interchanged or making a typo error on it. This may caused losing our coins if this will happen.
