Everyone recommends a hardware wallet to store Bitcoin, which
Bitcoin wallet is good to safeguard your investment for free is a question? maintaining those hardware wallets is a pain in the wrong place.
As of my experience, these are
My Five REASON Why I do not want to buy them?1. They are costly if you are paid in Bitcoin as a bounty hunter or for a gig.
2. They are a liability as if, you lose it you will lose your investment.
3. They are not easy to operate and most exchanges do not support them.
4. They have to be updated periodically or you will never see your Bitcoin in them.
5. They can still be hacked if you are using them online for trading or other stuff.
If you think I am wrong with my opinion then do comment.
Thanks.
1. You can get Keepkey as low as $45, also ledger nano s at $60 or less. Just know that harsware wallets store private keys offline, with this and with safe browsing you can use it to store cryptocurrencies safely.
2. You have been answered above about this. Your mobile wallets are liabilities too, if you lose your phone you lose your wallet. But remember there is option of seed phrase, and know that if you lose hardware wallet, you can use seed phrase to recover back your coin or if you want, you can by another hardware wallet and input the seed phrase to get all your coin back. You hardware wallet will be difficult to compromise if your use it knowledgeably.
3. Only novice will say hardware wallets are not easy to operate, if you have been using one, you will be so acquainted to it and become normal thing for you to operate. And that aside, the company like ledger nano are now linking hardware wallets to phones, like with the use of bluetooth you can operate ledger nano x on both android and iOS.
4. You have also been answered, some mobile wallet will not even work if the previous update has expired, mandating it for you to undate to the latest version.
5. Just know that hardware wallet private key is offline, they are also more resistant to malware unlike online wallets, aside in-built security breaches, they are very still safe if you use them knowledgeably.
Sorry to say this, you like mobile wallet because maybe you hold little amount of cryptocurrencies, if you are a whale or hold substantial amount, you will see yourself holding it on hardware wallet because you will even be afraid to store them on online wallets that are not as safe as hardware wallets.
If you still find hardware wallet hard or difficult to use, storing high amount of cryptocurrencies on it is essential and that is the main reason people are getting hardware wallet, if you are the type that makes transactions often, it is still good to get a mobile wallet where little amount of your cryptocurrencies will be stored.
