Seriously? Spending for $ 100 to keep $ 10,000 safe is expensive? This is primarily reasonable. I once thought it was a lot too. But when my wallet was hacked and all the money was stolen - I regretted

No I don't think so but you can wait until they offered price cut during promotion unless you want to take a risk buying from. 3party

I think it's reasonable price for safety and also it's very convenient to use hardware wallets with decentralized exchanges which are far from consummation

They are never too expensive because these are the best wallets for your coins, they make sure that your coins are not accessible by people on the internet thereby making sure that your coins are always safe, I understand that the wallets can be quite expensive but with the threat of getting your online wallet hacked it is worth it

These hardware wallets are not expensive compared to the amount of coins you're going to put in there. Probably, since only few brands of hardware wallets are available, prices will be high but not expensive. However, if we're taking into considerations the security, these hardware wallets is a must.

I don't think they are expensive. Just a few weeks ago nano ledger was only 50 bucks. I think that's pretty affordable for anybody who is in crypto.

expensive if you keep cryptocurrency below the price of the hardware wallet, but the security is best for our benefit as a semi-active user
with hardware wallets, we can better control our money without any major risks such as hacking on myetherwallet
but even so, we must be careful, because hackers are not stupid either

When we have more than $10k of assets, we need to think about the security and having a hardware wallet is a must thing that we need to have. Hardware wallet like ledger or trezor will be the best wallet to save the assets, so we don't have to worry about losing or hacked by other people. I think in the Amazon, you can search the hardware wallet you need, and I am sure you can find what you want. Don't think that the hardware wallet is too expensive because when you lose your assets, you will regret it because you do not save in the right wallet.

It may be expensive to buy a single hardware wallet but its benefits will ease your frightened when storing coins or tokens. With hardware wallet your funds are much more secured and cannot be easily be stolen by hackers.

Not such wallets and expensive. If you save on the purchase of a wallet, for the reason that it is expensive, it can end badly. Any online wallet is susceptible to hacking, if fraudsters steal tokens, it can be more expensive than buying a hardware wallet.

I don't think so as long as you have good money in coins, I like both types of wallets.

Hardware wallets like Trezor and Ledger Nano is only under $100, it is not expensive to pay under $100 to get a hardware wallet to store your coins, because hardware wallet is the securest wallet now.

IMO, I don’t think hardware wallets are expensive at $100 or less. Of course if there are more options under $100 will be good, it will benefit users with lesser budget or newbie who want to try. However, security is very important. So, don’t lookout for price but security first.

Less expensive options are coming. I can only suggest to look out for special deals by the manufacturers and/or to simply wait for older models to be made available at a much less expensive price.

For instance, there's the Trezor One, whose more expensive successor is the Trezor Model T. Both models work just fine. As far as I heard the former will be made available at a very affordable price in Q1 2019. I predict that more affordable hardware wallets will get a lot more people interested in using hardware security to protect private keys.

I don't think its pricy if we're talking about security of our funds specially if you're a bagholder. But for a casual like me who doesn't have huge amount of coins then I wouldn't buy for now.


But if by chance I would get one, then there's no question that I would get either of the two. Although there a hardware wallets popping around, I would still trust trezor or nano s because that's where majority of big holders are using.

All I know is that I know nothing.
considering a hardware wallet is only useful for someone who plans on having large amounts of cryptocurrencies and also wants to have access to them at all times to send and receive fast and easy in a secure way, you can say that it is worth it.

these people are always traders. and as an altcoin trader they want to have their coins at the ready in an instant so that they can dump it fast while they don't want to keep it on exchanges since they can run away. so hardware wallet is good for them and the price doesn't matter since a good altcoin trader makes a lot of profit from shitcoins that get pumped and dumped.

buy a hardware wallet, which is now not so expensive and use as much as you need
There aren't really expensive if you are giving importance to the crypto's that you hold, altcoins or bitcoins.

Name all of those altcoins that you think you didn't need a better and more secure wallet. If you are good holding those altcoins to their respective wallets then its fine, I wouldn't spend that much money with crypto's if I have no plan of securing my assets.

It depends of how much crypto you have. If you have, like, 100-300$, it s not worth spent one hundred for wallet.
But if you have more than 300-500$, i think, buying wallet is a necessary thing.

You can buy wallet on Black Friday sale or Christmas sale - price may go down for a half.

If you get hacked only 1 time - you can lost all. Is it worth the economy of 100$ not spend?

security must be the first, I think the biggest regret is when you lose your assets in large quantities.
however the decision is your choice. I think it's very easy to use a hardware wallet.
because the price are so expensive security in hardware is more secured than digital wallet like we used now for storing our asset
