Title: [2014-12-09] Bitcoin Hardware Wallets Could Become as Ubiquitous as Smartphones Post by: panju1 on December 10, 2014, 03:19:00 AM Bitcoin Hardware Wallets Could Become as Ubiquitous as Smartphones
http://insidebitcoins.com/news/bitcoin-hardware-wallets-could-become-as-ubiquitous-as-smartphones/27208 While many bitcoin enthusiasts look at hardware wallets as the “holy grail” of cryptocurrency security, the reality is these devices are still a bit too expensive and impractical for most people to use. Bitcoin-focused hardware devices, such as the TREZOR, are awesome in the eyes of a bitcoin user, but they don’t make much sense to the average person on the street. After all, purchasing a $100 wallet just to be able to use bitcoin securely is not exactly the best sales pitch for digital currency. Having said all that, bitcoin hardware wallets could still have a bright future. That is, if they end up being about more than just storing bitcoin private keys.

I'd rather have one device than two...

Yeah, but if the wallets become cheap, I wouldn't mind having a small one on my key chain. Phones are getting bigger and bigger ;)I'd rather have one device than two... At least a hardware wallet won't bend in your pocket :P |
