I've been trading Crypto for years but far from a knowledgable trader. I've learned most of my information through Forex Factory (now through Cryptocraft) and internet searches. But one thing I never researched was hard wallets. I figured a safe bet was Coinbase. Then I started trading harder to buy crypto like XRP (at the time Coinbase did not have it) and DOGE. I went with Bitsane after a CBS News article discussed how to buy XRP with them. THEN MY WORST FEAR....Bitsane disappeared with my XRP, DOGE and some BTC. Now I had no choice but to start the dauntless research of how to use a hardware wallet. I was sure this would be difficult, there was no way this would be user friendly for a novice, everyday person like myself.
A friend recommended I try the NANO Ledger S. So I ordered it off Amazon...simple. I received it, read the directions...simple. I transferred some crypto I had on an exchange...simple. It was simple and if only back when I started I had somewhere easy to understand the different hardware wallets I would have saved the crypto that was stolen through Bitsane.
So I'm starting this thread in hopes to hear from others what hardware wallets they use. Which ones they find most user friendly. I hope that a thread like this will help another "Newbie" to crypto trading to understand Hardware Wallets. Take it from me...do not leave your crypto on exchanges!
