I would buy a hardware wallet if  i have lost of bitcoin in my holdings but  sad to say im only gaining not more than 1btc.lol. Hardware wallets could be risky though since its prone  to accidents if you dont pay attention to it, it might be lost or stolen by someone. Hardware wallet  would be expensive as i searched the prices of it even that i cant  even afford it.

Hardware wallet is good if you have  huge amount of bitcoin but if you have  small quantity of it it would be no need since theres an online wallet you can rely on  and also  it doesnt need  to those person who actively spent their bitcoins. Hardware wallet is for  big holders only.

No I would never buy a hardware wallet because I already have a paper wallet and I'm pretty happy with it so for me its not necessarily these days.

I like my paper wallets, but they are for my truly cold storage "coins don't leave here" wallet. For something that I would want to store a large amount of value on, but still spend, id spring for the hardware wallet. They need to get a little cheaper before I bite howevr, lol.

In my case i dont reallt need those one since i dont really a fan of storing huge amount or staking them for so long since i regularly/weekly or even monthly sell my bitcoins since i need some spare allowance to be used and i think those people who needs hardware wallets are those company or rich one who have businesses that needs their bitcoin to be safe sleeping and that is good and ideal for them not for small players.

Hi all,

I am doing some research for a Bitcoin company that is interested with developing a hardware wallet to see if it has a viable market. Trezor has some traction, but perhaps only in the existing Bitcoin community. With things like Multi-sig popping up everywhere, do you think this negates some of the pressing need for Hardware wallets? Interested to hear your thoughts.

I dont think so. I think there is still plenty space for new hardware wallets. Getting a more competitive price is good for customers. I think you could still compete with other companies if you offer a nice design. I dont know why people dont make custom designed hardware wallets like fantasy themed. I wouldn't mind having a skull shaped wallet or a dragons head. That would be awesome.

Paper wallets are in my eyes better due to this I think hardware wallets are not needed because of this.
Its of course just a opinion of my but I think more people are thinking this.

Hard wallet, online wallet and paper wallet. As for me, I'm going to choose two, paper wallet and online wallet. I think hardware wallet and online
wallet are almost the same , the thing is you need to spend money for buying it.
Unlike online wallet, it is free.

while i can use the wallet in the pc and online, I guess not intend to buy hardware wallet because it certainly would just be a waste of our money. Thank you

Yeah that's what I'm considering too, why do I need to buy for an hardware wallet if I am benefiting from using an online wallet.
And I may just use the money for buying an hardware wallet in other important things.

A lot of people are saying this and I must say that its true, why buying a hardware wallet what can be pretty expensive if you got a paper wallet and a online wallet right ?

i have no idea about it and even hearing about it for the first time. so i think i should first get information about it then i will think about either it is so safe or not. only then i will take the decission.

I just found this. I might pick one up. https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/3-ledger-hw-1
Costs more or less US$16 (15 EUR).
It seems to me like you could do the same with a portable SPV wallet on a USB stick...

I just finally bought a Trezor wallet.  I've had a Ledger Nano for a while now and really like it, but I wanted the convenience/security of having a screen on my wallet, and the real reason why I finally got one was because of the new Password management feature.  It is great to have a hardware password manager that is also a secure bitcoin wallet.

Would recommend a Trezor 10 times out of time

Well if you can avail to buy a trezor then go for it, but if not, then better to stay with an online wallet.
It is also secured as an hardware wallet is. You just need to maximize the use of it.

perhaps bluetooth?

Most important is plug and play on any computer without user action like installing drivers, if it can be done with bluetooth, why not, but USB has every computer and bluetooth only some computers.

The most important function is security though

Bluetooth would decrease the security, because anyone with bluetooth could try to crack the wallet, while with USB one would need physically contact.

Also I think it would increase the energy comsumption and the price. 
iwould never buy a hardware wallet because there are to many people who are not happy with it and they are also scammed some of them so i dont think it is verry useful to take a bitcoin wallet.....

Hardware wallets are okay but because I already have a good secured paper wallet, I do not think its needed for me.


Yeah,  I think hard wallets are good. But why you need to use that if you already have online bitcoin wallets, then why you need to use other wallets?
But it is still depending on how you really want to secure your bitcoins.

Having the same thing, I love my paper wallet so why would I step over or take another wallet, I just do not think its worth it.
I also think hardware wallets are still not proven to be very good.
