BTC Hi, i am not new to crypto but i slowly gathered up a decent protofolio and i recently had an issue with my old phone that has authentication installed so i had to go through alot of hoops and whatnot to recover my wallet in exchange! After this stressful experience, i am looking for options and thinking about getting a hardware wallet. I can't decide on which to go for and i don't need those fancy ones that looks like a cellphone , rather a compact one that does the job but also secures my asset.
I wish that HW manufacturers (as well as buyers: I mention buyers because it is buyers who "vote" with their wallets) would hold the same opinions as the highlighted text. A HW should perform its functions well, and not be a means of bragging, like the new iPhone (or Ledger Stax).
I'd appreciate if anyone can recommend me some hardware wallets out there and explain why.. preferably people that owns em and can share their end of experience. Thank you! [/b]
Which one to choose, have already been told in the comments above. On my own behalf, I can only add that which HW you should not buy is the product of Ledger company.
Just don't ask, trust this advice.
If, however, you insist on details, then in the Hardware wallets section you will easily find discussions with an explanation of the reasons. While the Trezor "has not gotten into any trouble", as their closest competitor, their devices remain a good solution for your question based on the ratio of price and reliability.
"Is it actually wise to get a hardware wallet?" - it becomes wise the moment you start asking this question.
