Hardware wallet is the most secure of all wallets for crypto-holders. I don't hear about cases of hacking this wallets, only if the owner of this wallet not made some mistake.

Hardware wallet is safe but not absolutely. Paper offline wallet is safer. But the strongest level of security can give only brain wallet

Safe if you can make sure the wallet is safe on the place that no one can found it!
But if you lost it on somewhere, you lost you're asset on it. So stil need aware from you to make sure you won't lost it in the future. Good luck for your hardware wallet

Online wallets and offline wallets can be get hacked in various ways. But Hardware wallets are much much safer than offline wallets and online wallets. all you need to do is keep your hardware wallet in a safe place.

Yeah, the pin protected seed is definetely a good feature for Trezor. I do not understand why Ledger didn´t add this feature to their wallets.
I personally own Ledger because it supports more cryptocurrencies.

Personally for me the safest purse in cryptocurrency is a hardware purse, although hardware purses are not cheap, but we are talking about the safety of their funds.

well, they are safer,although hardware hacking is also,as there is a server where the data is stored,you know everything that has centralized management,you can hack and block and steal,and the fact that is decentralized,has great prospects,and the chances that it will give reliable stability

Hardwallets are better. I suggest everyone to buy ledger or trezor and keep crypto there.
It is your security and it should be priority

Yes hardware wallets are safe and likewise paper wallets are safe too
The safety depends on how you handle your private keys and private information

Avoid phishing links always

I entirely agree with your opinion that hardware wallets are very safe than other wallets even I also bought Trezor wallet last year to secure my coins from the hackers because I am also the victim of hacking so I bought Trezor wallet to avoid any losses in future. Now I never get worried about my coins that is safe in trezor because I know it can not be access by anyone without my permission.

Hardware wallets are the safest anyone can use to store their cryptocurrencies, no fear of it being hacked except you lose it alongside your passphrase.

Trezor aren't totally offline wallet.
When you connected and want to send your bitcoin, it will be online and can't sending offline without internet.
but it more secure with signed by your trezor wallet

I must admit wallet hardware is safe for storing crypto. However, I myself have never used it and don't have it yet. Everyone certainly wants to have a hardware wallet for the security of personal assets. hardware wallet is one recommendation for every user who has a large crypto asset to use it. Maybe in the future, I want to use a hardware wallet.
Lol how do you know its safe while you haven't used it yet? Is it credible feedback only given from its users, if you want to judge then you have to use it first dude. honestly I don't use it because 1 hardware wallet has a pretty expensive price for me, while my desktop wallet is safe enough for me

Personally, I think that hardware wallets are the safest in cryptocurrency
Paper wallets as others say but for me, I've experienced the feeling of being secured with a hardware wallet and I'm very satisfied with it.
I would buy one for myself, but I have a small amount of money in the purse and it makes sense to buy no
You have to buy one to experience it. Don't you have plans of growing in this market and keeping your assets to a secured wallet?

Well, you have a good point about hardware wallet. It is really safe to have your wallet offline so that it will not be connected to anythinh in the internet but we should be very careful when accessing it because virus can be activated even offline. It can gather information then transmit it when it gets online.

Yes, you are right! Hardware wallets are safe and secure from all the online vulnerability! Personally, I use Ledger Nano S, and it seems easier than Trezor to me! Enjin wallet is the next big thing, Binance may come with a hardware wallet too! Though we have some secure online wallet like Trust wallet, Imtoken, Blockchain, Bitcoin core and so on, but hardware wallets are the best choice for always!

I personally think it is safe as an offline wallet offers the highest level of security for storing crypto is it involves storing the funds in a secured place that is not connected to any network. This type of wallet can also offer good protection against computer vulnerabilities. The hardware wallets are the best type of offline wallet that offers very high security and ease of use. Also, as these wallets allow backup, you can easily recover your funds if you lose this device.

One such example of a hardware wallet is Trezor. It operates as secure cold storage. You can easily transfer bitcoins to the device using the Trezor interface, which is accessible from macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android. Its interface is quite easy to use that lists your coins and recent transactions.

Trezor uses a 12 to 24-word seed for protection and recovery and a user-defined PIN. You can also add an encrypted passphrase to your wallet for an added layer of security.

what say u?

Yeah it is true that hardware wallets are safe but it will still go online if you want to do some transactions. Also, hardware wallets might be prone to lost which will cause lost of all of you holdings. We just need to be careful for us to be safe.

hardware wallets are safe when compared to online wallets in a sense that they are solely controlled by you unlike online wallets which are controlled (I  mean the website's servers) by a third party so when the site is offline, you lose everything even if you have the password as most of them do not provide private keys. It is better to use a hardware wallet if you fear a website may steal you and I personally use them because most of them do not have access to your private keys as they do not keep a backup of your keys.

The problem that often occurs in our wallet is hacking and the safest way to prevent it is to always look at wallet website security when visiting it. Besides that, always don't visit suspicious website links. But if we have a lot of valuable coins, hardwallet is a safe choice
