Buying a hardware wallet can be good but I think that I would not use it a lot because I have some other wallets.
I also use online wallet so that is why..

I think that its also not worth it because its not very easily with payments, online wallets are better for payments.
On the other hand hardware wallets can be nice for large amounts maybe.

For me its good to lite version like our uses online wallets or electrum.. i tried to use hardware wallet but i have only slow internet it takes a long time before you can sync if you dont open your hardware wallet gradually or daily you will late for syncing and it takes a long sync again if you have a slow internet.

I think it is difficult to use hardware wallet if the internet is slow, but for safety's sake if you have much better hardware using bitcoin wallet

Agree, if you have a slow internet you would really have a problem with it and it would surely take you some time more than weeks for sure. You are right it is somehow safe compare to those web wallets do exist today but its still okay to use them especially when you are putting up small amounts and been used for daily transaction.

if you are using other wallets its indeed not necessarily but a hardware wallet can be easy and keep in mind that its very safe, because you are the only one having it and its offline too.

I would never buy a hardware wallet and that is just becuase i dont like to get rid of my coins i store my coins local because i dont trust the internet wallets sorry for that.

I think those hardware wallets are also like local wallet but rather than downloading whole blockchain ledger they just use remote server to make transaction. Downloading whole bitcoin ledger is very hard these days so we don't have much option left rather than using web wallets.

Downloading the whole blockchain is a really pain in the ass and you would need huge space on your storage and you need to wait for couple of days before you could download it completely but its worth for the effort and time you spent because pc wallets do have some advantages compared to web wallets. For me hardware wallet would also do if you have bitcoin to store from it.

Because I still new know about bitcoin, maybe when my balance more than 15 BTC I will buy hardware wallet

There are a lot of pros and cons about hardware wallets. But in my opinion depending on only one resource is always dangerous.

Moreover you are saying you will buy hardware wallet after having huge amount of bitcoins is also not the right approach. Because till 15 bitcoins, you are taking the risk with your bitcoin saving. I suggest to go for off line wallets with multiple backups from the beginning of your journey towards 15 bitcoins.

I will definitely buy a hardware wallet at some point. Currently the plan is to buy one when I can pay for it in bitcoin, and have earned enough bitcoin that I can afford one and still have enough bitcoin that it would be worth using it to protect. Until then, just taking smart precautionary measures will have to du as I would not be able to justify the expense.

A hardware wallet can be good but its not for everyone and its also that a hardware wallet is not very nice too have if I have to be honest.
Hardware wallets are also not so safe as you think..

So tell us why you don't think they are safe, specifically what is wrong trezor or ledger

It depends on how it secured and also how good it is secured, if such an hardware wallet is not good secured it is not very safe, but its really laying if it will be secured.

A hardware wallet is something that you can buy if you a large sum of bitcoins but its without any doubts not the safest method to store them.
If you want to have your wallet with you on that way it can be an option of course.

How much money for hardware wallet? For now I don't need some extra protection, and I'm not working with high amounts. Hardware wallet is probably for people who need it for some of this reasons.
Maybe one day in the future I will have one, for now I don't even know where to buy one, I never searched for it. But like many things, this is something good to know.

And so ever you try an hardware wallet before? That is just for the people is want for get a high security for their money.

I could somehow say that hardware wallets is more secure than web wallets especially when you are holding huge volumes of bitcoin. In my own side if i have lots amount bitcoin then for sure i would buy hardware wallets and keep it for more secure of your money without any risk on lossing it.
