Keeping your cryptocurrency investments safe has become very important today. And thanks to the many established organizations that have provided the crypto enthusiasts with secure storage options via hardware wallet. Hardware wallet adds an additional layer of security to safeguard your cryptocurrencies in case your computer is affected by a virus or malware which could steal your private keys by using a key logger. They additionally secure you against tricks, for example, counterfeit sites which use "phishing" to attempt and take your private keys. In the event that you have done any kind of investment in digital money, it bodes well to utilize a hardware wallet – they are by a wide margin the most secure methods we have at the moment of protecting your investments.


The two products that are considered the best hardware wallet in 2019 and stand out in crypto space are Trezor and Ledger. Both of these products are well known in the cryptocurrency community for the security they offer without actually storing the currencies themselves. Though physical equipment, Trezor, and Ledger act as protection for private information and data that are used to access digital assets.

Share your opinion as well...thanks

They are trying to keep the review balanced but to me ledger is a clear winner.
I like the design better and it's made of metal so better materials as well.
Supports more cryptocurrencies.
Is cheaper.
These three things make it so much better!

really? I also got a Nano ledger S, and feel pretty deceived already..
Before i had ICON, XLUMENS, ETH and EOS... They released a new version for ETH blockchain.. i after installing it (which must be really big as i had to delete the rest of currencies i had), now i have no storage left for instaling any other currency... and it is not possible to go back to the version before update! do you get the picture? they release new versions that do the same, but uses more storage, in order to force you to buy their new unit Nano ledger X, which has been just released! (MORE storage...) i feel scamed by NANO LEDGER.
guys avoid it

I haven't used either of them until now. But I have a lot of Ledger in my environment. I didn't even see anyone else using Trezor. So if I were to choose one, it would definitely be Ledger.

I use ledger nano s, but now already appears ledger X if i know, maybe i was waiting for ledger X because ledger nano S can't store to much apps on it, if i have BTC, ETH , LTC and one more coin i can't store one more app.

I also have not bought a hardware wallet, but I think about it. In my opinion, Ledger looks better, most recently they published information that they found a vulnerability in the Trezor wallet. But I do not know whether you can trust this information.

I have only used the ledger nano after several recommendations from friends. I am satisfied with the ledger nano service so far. I will try the Trezor too if I get it cheaper so I can make my physical comparisons

The advantages of the Ledger Nano X is that it supports 100 apps and has bluetooth support.
Which means you can either use their Ledger Live software on a pc and connect to your Ledger hardware wallet through usb cable  
or you can use their Ledger Live mobile app (Android / iOS) through bluetooth.

Specially the last part peaked my interest. On the other hand i'm a little bit disappointed with the form factor, i was hoping they would go more
towards the form of a Ledger Blue (larger lcd display, less usb stick format).

I just hope the bluetooth support is for real this time with the Ledger Nano X, they marketed the Ledger Blue also with bluetooth support and came back on that.

 

It was said many times that Ledger Nano is better for altcoin holders because is cheaper and allows you to safe here more cryptocurrencies. And that Trezor is maybe better in the security, but Ledger company recently posted about some Trezor technical bugs, so it is really as secure as we think?

Ledger Nano and Trezor One are well known hardware wallets but have you heard about Coolwallet S? It is really as safe as these 2 mentioned wallets?
Thanks for your opinions.

I personally believe it's not just about competition or trying to know which wallet is better than the other, but being able to store your coin in a secured wallet is what we should be worried about.

As of today, we have so many hardware wallet in existence but some are popular than the others not because they are more secured or even better than the others, but because they have already made name for themselves and built trust due to the fact that they were the first hardware wallet in existence.

Trezor and Ledger are the best crypto wallets of recent times. The highest level of safety. But more new hardware wallets have been created and they have more functions.

What do you think about keepkey hardware wallet because it seems very reliable to me and that is what I have been using for a very long time, although that was the first hardware wallet I got exposed to, even up to now.

I hardly make more research on new wallets because I don’t see any use for it since the one I am using has not failed me, unfortunately, I don’t even know about trezor and ledger until now that it is being mentioned in this forum, so I might as well also check them out and probably split my saving even if I am fully aware that any genuine hardware wallet is safer to use.

These came up with the many versions and all those wallets get good reaches with the customers. We need think why there is no competitor for these two people in hardware wallet field.


Security reasons are major reasons to switch the hardware wallets. Since owning few funds in our wallets better we can have the private key secured wallet. Nothing we need more than that.

The info about Trezor problems is public, pretty good documented and pretty reliable. The only thing is that most of those vulnerabilities are not as critical as some would like (very hard to get to  exploit them). Of course, if I'd have such big funds on Trezor probably I'd be worried.
Ledger had its issues too, not that long ago.
So it's 1-1 :)

I do have Ledger (since about a month ago), but I use it rarely and for Bitcoin only. I've read somewhere that they plan a new update which should fix the issue with the storage. Time will tell if they'll do it.

I am interested in giving the ledger nano s a try now that they launched their mobile portion to it

Im all in for trezor because there was no a bad news about trezor vulnerability was getting discovered. that's true and compared to the ledger, ledger is nothing due to the a lot of problem on its vulnerability. trezor is a winner on this game

Thanks for the info mate :)  Honeslty, i think in fact this obsolescence was planned... they can't be so stupid to make a mistake like this... Otherwise i wouldn leave my security in their hands! It is only that they couldnt anticipate that so much people would be that angry!

I prefer to store my crypto on the paper wallet than storing on the desktop wallets. Hardware wallets are safer but for small amounts, it is better to use online wallets.

For me ledger nano S is the winner. Easy to use and support many cryptocurrencies. Cardano (ADA) has been added recently. Waiting for the new editition.

Ledger nano s has better features over the Trezor and price is lower than alternative hardware wallets. I remember the news about the vulnerable glitch in the system of Trezor and later they solved the problem with new update, if i remember correctly.

Trezor and ledger Nona is already a well established hardware wallet and there still coming good feature wallet just like Hodler Pro (can be found here www.Hodler.tech/pro) which only introduced this year, they are still developing the wallet but it has really good potential. But ledger and trezor is no denying can be trusted.

I have never used it before. Either Trezor or nano ledger, I have never used it. But many of my friends used Nano ledger compared to Trezor. Because here, more online stores provide Nano Ledger than Trezor.

I won't argue with anyone with these two hardware wallets. I have my ledger nano s and never had anything to say negative about it. When I came up with some issues to them, I just email them and they are very responsive.

Nano ledger is the best hardware wallet for saving your bitcoin or altcoin asset, you can hold your balance for long time and do no worried about your asset is hacked, keep information your data to your family.

There was a famous Brazilian P2P trader that have recently a very stupid error using a trezor. She almost lost 10btc. The support was horrible and she was only able to recover with the help of Brazilian community.

Her error was not knowing that if you type the wrong password, or something like that, you could create a new wallet with new address.

She created this new wallet because there was a error in her hardware where the number 5 was not working. So she created this new wallet, but was not able to login, because she thought she have used 5 in her password.

Anyway, it was a stupid error. But the support was horrible and didn't help

Totally agreed the Ledger Nano S got all I need to be the best hardware wallet, the design is sleek and slim you don't need much space for it. It also cheaper compared to other competitor, however for someone who has more money to spend for their hardware wallet they can buy the Nano X instead. And both Ledger Nano X and S support many cryptocurrencies.

All the hardware wallet do the same thing and they keep your funds safe in an isolated environment from online hacks.

Personally, I prefer ledger nano S, as it's cheaper than its main competitor Trezor, and has a more user friendly interface.

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback.Hence, both devices have their own pros and cons. It is really difficult to nominate ‘which is the better device’ – either Trezor or Ledger Nano S. Both are worth their money. So, while making a purchasing decision, you can consider the coins supported by the device, the look, and design of the wallet and the software user interface.

Yes, it is always better to do your own research and then put your coins in any wallet.Trezor and Ledger Nano S are considered the best hardware devices to send or receive coins, view all information and monitor on-screen transactions. Both the devices have constantly been upgrading themselves by means of software updates, new functionality, and additional coin support.
Trezor is better in terms of wallet software as it enables the transaction information to be synced with a DropBox account. Plus, you can create an endless number of hidden accounts by password protecting a user’s seed. Don’t worry; it does offer an easily accessible password directory. On the other hand, Ledger’s firmware and integrated wallet software are not that advanced. It does not support shrouded accounts and does not include password administrator functionality.

I have trezor and ledger nano s, they are both good and safe. Maybe I prefer Ledger because it seems easier to me to use at the beginning but really they are both good guys you don't need both.

As for me, you will not go far on hardware wallets. It seems to me that they can only be used at the beginning of my pita, when there are small amounts.

I also have never used a hardware wallet like Trezor or Nano Ledger, but I will try both of these wallets because there are many people who are sure that the two wallets are very safe.

No problem with storing your crypto in a paper wallet, as long as it is stored in an air gapped device (not connected to the internet).

I'm also in Ledger right now, it still serves my purpose so I'm not going to buy any new one. Probably just to test Nano though, just maybe one of this days I will try. But I'm satisfied with my Ledger so everything is good.

I won't call that is the battle for the hardware because when we want to choose which wallet that will match with our needs, we need to compare each wallet and we can do a small test to check. But if I need to choose, then I prefer to buy a ledger nano than trezor because, for me, the ledger nano will be more simple and easy to use. Besides that, I don't have trezor, so I don't know how to use it.

I think that this whole thing is very individual and depends on many factors. For example, how much money you have, how you try to make money, how long you have been on the market and all that.

Me personally using Ledger Nano S, but I'm disturbed of several licks about some of the vulnerabilities of it too often

I give my vote in favor of the Trezor project and it seems to me that this project is already the leader of this industry, because I can confidently say that this project is really very cool. I think that all this project will be fine.

I have other ideas. I think the background has 2-3 more businesses involved in developing hard wallets. Because the market only has 2 businesses will not bring the best benefits to customers. If more businesses join, the price will decrease and the quality of the product will increase over time.
anyone have the same thoughts as me?

Personally, I made a choice in favor of Trezor one. The best price-quality ratio. I met a lot of negative reviews about Ledger Nano, problems with updates, reliability ...

Between Ledger and Trezor, I prefer the design of Ledger. The material is solid instead of plastic. Other than design, both hardware wallets work well.
