Everyone is talking about the safety of hardware wallets, but they are safe as paper wallet because still you have to write the seed on paper. And that is the weakest point.

It's not the weakest point, sometimes you just need to think that the traditional method is still as strong and as good as the we're thinking.
Another point is that it's more secured than writing your keys somewhere on the web like emails or private cloud storages.

Yes, hardware wallets are safer. Ledger Nano and Trezor are my favorites for holding coins offline. They are more secure when compared to web wallets or wallet apps since you don't stand a risk of losing your private keys or mnemonic phrase easily to hackers.

Welll, I agree with regards to the hardware wallet to be the safest among wallets. It is an offline wallet that isolate itself from any hackers or viruses which can be away from people who have bad intention to steal all your money. Being offline really have a big advantage compared to web-based wallets.

Very important notice! If you decide to buy a hardware wallet Trezor then order it only on the official website of the manufacturer !

Hardest wallet is the safest place to place your tokens and coins.
This will be a good choice especially if you want to hold it for a long time of investment.
Just make sure that you will never misplace it.

Nothing is safe in this world. I saw some post about hardware wallet where it can be also hacked. But if you talk about security then hardware wallets are the safest anosng all kind of wallet available in the market. Cause hardware wallet is not connected to anywhere and it's worked as a physical waleet disconnected all the time form everywhere. So I always recommend if you got some extra bucks always invest in a hardware wallet if it's possible.

You're really right. Today hardware wallet is the most affordable and secure way to store your cryptocurrency, recommend!

i use ledger nano s from 2017 and i never have any issue with my ledger
in my opinion a hardware wallet is the safest wallet to store our cryptocurrency for now

The most reliable wallets in cryptocurrency can be considered hardware wallets, but if you follow all security measures, you can do only MEW

I am using MEW for a long time and I just change my wallet to a new one every six months, it is very easy) sometimes I just send my tokens to a new wallet

I don't think there's a big difference between hardware and ordinary wallets, the main thing is to follow the security rules and nobody will break into your wallet.

Harware Wallet is safe for storing lots of assets. now there are wallet hardware like trezzor and nano ledger. so I think the hardware wallet can minimize the risk of hacker crime

You better get a Ledger!
A few days ago a guide was published on how to extract a seed from a Trezor Harware Wallet. The whole procedure takes less than 5 minutes.

You can read the complete article here: https://ledger-donjon.github.io/Unfixable-Key-Extraction-Attack-on-Trezor/

Wallet hardware in my opinion is far safer from malware threats and scams, but you also have to be careful in storing and accessing it

Nothing beats a good ol fashioned paper wallet kept in cold storage.
That's where you just write down your keys and lock em up in a safe.

But for those that want to be tech savvy, hardware wallets are the way to go.
I use a ledger, and it was a bit pricy (around $100) but it has worked great.
They are ultra secure.
In order for someone to be able to steal your crypto, they would have to physically get their hands on the device and your passkey.
They are also really handy because it stores a huge variety of different cryptos and can interact with erc20 wallets.

hardware wallet is the safest way to store cryptocurrency.. as long as you keep your seed in safe place no one can take your crypto

Still having to keep your hardware wallet seed safe doesnt mean its the safest way to store cryptocurrency ,all wallets use seeds and private keys except online wallets , the safest way to keep coins safe in crypto space to me is offline wallet

the only best wallet all time is paper wallet and hardware wallet is much better than offline wallet. Remember to do any transaction and you must do that used a connection to able create a peer to peer tx payment and broadcast it to the network.

Yes, hardware wallets are the safest wallets in the cryptocurrency, although they cost money, but are still the most secure

I think that there is no need to economize money on a hardware wallet. it costs not so much. 150-200 dollars for your peace of mind.

150-200$ for a hardware-wallet would be quite expensive.
You can get the Ledger Nano S for $66,27 USD, the Ledger Nano X for $133,66 USD (only worth it if you need Bluetooth-Support and/or more storage to use more apps simultaneously without having to delete another app to free up space) and the Trezor One for $77,50 USD directly from the manufacturer.

If you decide to buy a hardware wallet Trezor, be careful when buying, order only from the manufacturer, and carefully check the package for opening - this is very important!
