No I would never buy a hardware wallet, I do not like them and they are sometimes even very expensive and that is also what I do not like about it at all to be honest.
I think that hardware wallets are safe but right now still pricey.


Me also, I don't prefer buying an hardware wallet, it is hard for it to manage. And if your hardware wallet will be stolen, your bitcoin there will also
lost forever. That's why I prefer to use online wallet rather than hardware wallet. And tendency of being lost of hardware wallet once you forgot where
you have put it, is also there.

Hardware wallets are okay but I still prefer paper wallets above it so I think I would not buy one to be honest.
Maybe if they are really good I will do this in the future.

Buying an hardware wallet really does cost you money, but there are people considering to buy it, since they afford to buy it and the usage of
it makes them comfortable. But for me, I wouldn't buy one, since wallet address are enough for me to store my bitcoins.

Yeah mate. why should we spend some money to buy a wallet when we have lots of free wallets here..
I don't think I need to buy a hardware wallet at this time when I don't have much btc, it may be safer than a online wallet. and may I buy one if I have huge amount of btc. but right now the online wallet is perfect for me.

I would not buy one because I still think a paper wallet is way better and its also that its easier in my opinion.
Overall people are also saying a hardware wallet can still be hacked ??

I would not buy any hardware wallet. because I think I am satisfied with online wallet.. may be I'll buy an hardware wallet in future but right now I am Ok with my current wallet because I don't have much money..

I think you can better buy one for sure due to the fact online wallets can be hacked due to the fact its online.
With a hardware wallet its offline and very safe compared with online wallets.

Hope someone can come up with a thumb drive size and of course not plug & play.

This is already done, if you look what I wrote.

I mention in my sentence of ledgerwallets hardware which is the cheapest one out there in a usb form - using the smart chip.


Ooops sorry,  can I ask for the website so I can get infos for that there?

Hardware wallets are offline so they are safe but the most people are going for 100% security so they will not pick a hardware wallet but instead they will take a paper wallet most of the times.

I think paper wallet is dangerous wherr yoy put your money is its because if you accidentally delete your files well i think you will be broke if that happen, well i can say blockchain is the very best and ideal where to put your bitcoin and you can assure your bitcoins are quitely sleeping safely thats why many people prefer to use it because it has strong feature that even pro hacker cannot broke, and i dont really want to put my btc in some hardware wallet becausr it is not flexible and convenient to use,

I would never call blockchain.info safe, do a quick google: https://www.google.com/search?q=blockchain+account+hacked you'll see dozens of people that lost their coins that were stored on a blockchain.info wallet
A hardware wallet might not be the most flexible, but at least your coins are safe... If you google https://www.google.com/search?q=trezor+wallet+hacked you'll see a lot of people asking questions about trezor's safety, but i couldn't see a single one proving his funds got stolen from a trezor.

In the end, it's up to you... If you want an online wallet that can be used from any computer or phone that has internet connection, and you're willing to give up some of the security, that's fine (as long as you know the risks you take).
On the other hand, if you want the best protection, and you're willing to give up some flexibility, you should go for a hardware or paper wallet.

Just my tought tough.

Since I still can use online wallet, I better use it since it easy to manage rather than I spend to purchase hardware wallet which has expensive price. Ofcourse higher price provide better safety but I'm just looking for simplicity

if we want to save a lot of bitcoin, and bitcoin we want to make sure it's secure carry around. then the hardware wallet is the right choice. wallet hardware provides more security, especially fingerprint access in order to access our wallet account.

yes i'll buy it. i hope it more securable than software, but how if its broken?  Cry

This is a good question. I never used hardware wallets, and I am still wondering what will happen if it broken.. but I think there must be a solution for this . they must provide private keys of hardware wallet's addresses. if it broke by chance then we can recover our wallet.

Why would i?, while paper wallets are already available. Paper is much more safer than a usb wallet and it is free. As long as you aren't a billionere (which you aren't) you don't need a class 1, highest quality, the most secure hardware wallet. It is not for people holding a couple btc's but hundreds of them. I can't help but thinking, even if got 1000btc right now, i would still use a paper wallet. As long as nobody knows you have that amount, you are safe anyway. Hardware wallet won't protect you if you have a gun pointing at you.

I guess I do not want to buy hardware wallet for now, I guess blockchain is enough to store the bitcoin I had, I felt safe for storing bitcoin in the wallet

THe blockchain is pretty safe but if you have a large amount of bitcoins even the bitcoin is not safe enough.
I recommend you to take a paper wallet or hardware wallet if you have a large amount!

That's what I'm always saying that it depends to the people who are using it and on how they are using wallets. Well for me, also I'm not going
to buy hardware as I'm already contented in using blockchain.info also.
I'm also confident that blockchain has a good security for our bitcoins stored there.

Hardware wallets are okay but I also prefer online wallets above hardware wallets because they are simply much easier.

Online are easier but keep in mind they are also do not have the best security compared with offline wallets.
If you want a very secured wallet use a paper wallet or a hardware wallet could also be used.

Yes! I would definitely buy hardware bitcoin wallet. I find them safe and secure. I could keep it the way I want. Unlike online wallets, I do not even know where they are keeping my bitcoins. With hardware wallets, I can have full control with my own money. Smiley
