Just go with either Ledger or Trezor. Which one among the two? Well, it's subjective. Others will prefer the former, and some the latter. Head over to YouTube and check out some unboxings and user guides on how to use both, then decide for yourself which one you prefer.

If you use and save your assets carefully I think online exchange more enough to keep your assets safety, I know many people try to hold and save their assets in most safety wallet like nano ledger but if you can control with your computer and with your browser access I think online wallet like myetherwallet or exchange wallet most safety place for saving your coin.

Hello Guys, My female work colleague is interested in cryptocurrency and wants to buy bitcoin for long term holding. She was asking user friendly bitcoin hardware wallet. She is not a technical minded women. I said her to buy Ledger Nano X. I personally find ledger hardware wallet easy to use but I might be wrong there are so many hardware wallet in the market. I have never use other hardware wallet.

Can you guys suggest her which one is good hardware wallet for new users for storing Bitcoin ??

1.Ledger Nano X,
2.Trezor T,
3.KeepKey
4.Cobo Vault Pro.

Hands down to the Ledger Nano X! No doubt that this is the best hardware wallet for new users. Even me of course, I would like to own one even if I have a Ledger Nano S with me that is genuine and reliable. It's pretty safe and secure to use, but always make sure that the mnemonic phrases are in a safe place (whether in a notebook or a piece of paper).

Trezor T is my second option. I am not yet familiar with KeepKey and Cobo Vault Pro, but I'll try to learn more about these hardware wallets. Ledger Nano is where I store my BTC and other coins/tokens that are being supported by this hardware wallet. This is just my own opinion as a user of Ledger Nano S.

It doesn't matter at all that your colleague is less technically versed in the whole thing, but from the experience of a user who owns both models I can only tell you that I would personally recommend the Nano X. Let’s just say the X looks pretty nicer and more modern than its older brother the S, to me personally it’s a lot more comfortable to use it because of the much bigger and clearer screen.

Is it worth paying $60 more for it? Most users on the forum will say that it is not a worthwhile investment, but most have never had that device in their hands. In addition, a hardware wallet is not something that is bought often - it is an investment for many years.

One small review that you can show to your colleague, may make her decision easier.

Ledger Nano X is safe enough for a newbie like herself.
You can find a review of the Ledger Nano wallet here as well.

Nano X has been here for a couple of years. They have built trust in early holders. Going for others who have not still gained enough grounds wouldn't be a nice option.

Ledger and Trezor are the only two companies you should consider if you want to be safe. Ledger is probably the most popular one given it's sleek look and strong recommendations. Trezor does support loads of coins and is priced roughly the same as a Ledger (the base version at least).

I don't really favour any other companies as they are either too new or just not good/too expensive.

A Ledger device is probably the best device to recommend at the moment. Trezor would be a close second, and many people on here are still quite happy using them, but given the fact they are continuing to try to sweep a critical vulnerability under the rug, I don't feel like they can be trusted anymore.

The Nano X might be unnecessarily expensive, depending on what she is going to use it for, compared to the Nano S though. If she is only interested in holding bitcoin (which she probably should be as a newbie, since 99% of altcoins are worthless and most newbies only end up losing money when dabbling in altcoins), then the extra storage space on the Nano X is unnecessary. If she's using the hardware wallet for long term holding, rather than carrying it with her for day-to-day spending, then the Bluetooth capability on the Nano X is also unnecessary. The only real benefit she would get from the Nano X then is a larger screen, which is probably not worth the extra $60 or so she'll pay for a Nano X.

If you're lucky, a nice member on here might have a spare code they can send you which would give her a discount from their web shop. If not, try asking on the Ledger subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/
