WO is the only "social media" I engage...so there's that...

Just wanted to add that it requires a considerable amount of time & effort also.
And it's a long way ahead...

Morning WO's.
New Ledger X looking nice.
I'm not too worried about bridging the air gaped device with Bluetooth.
Transactions still need to be confirmed manually, and from what I understand Bluetooth is only there for communicating with Ledger live (on PC or mobile).
Surely pairing or connecting would need to be confirmed on the device.
Likewise, if my laptop - hence my Ledger live gets compromised - it's still useless to the attacker.
We have to
accept that the private keys are safe and never leave the dedicated chip, else what?
Use paper.From FAQ:
Does Bluetooth affect the security of Ledger Nano X?
The private keys never leave the secure chip, therefore Bluetooth communication (BLE) does not expose the Ledger Nano X to any additional security threat. The BLE connection is end-to-end encrypted to protect user privacy. In the unlikely case, the BLE transport were to be compromised, an attacker would never be able to extract private keys or make users sign a transaction they do not wish to sign.
Time will tell.
The bolded or engrave the keys or use as has been posted the steel mechanism (I forget the name).
"Accept that the private keys are safe and never leave the dedicated chip" is taking a gamblers attitude to safe guarding your cold storage is poor risk management on an asset class you should be 100% risk adverse. IOW, the entire reason for a cold wallet is security an ANY possible threat (read: can be mitigated) should be avoided. These security attack vectors are acceptable in your other forms of wealth storage such as liquidity and daily expense storage. You should think of you assets in a tier system of heightened protection and decide for yourself at what level of risk to keep what amount. Also a variable in your person system should be your age and as you grow older your ability to withstand a disastrous loss is inversely proportional.
