No I would not buy a hardware wallet these days, because its not even every secure and it can also disappear, if you are doing something wrong or as a example you lost it.
I think its not a good option for a wallet, I would not buy it.

I too agree, investing again for storing, i prefer we wallet like coinbase or blockchain, since i don't have more than 5 btc, if i like to store more than 1000 btc for quite some period, i might think of other options to store the bitcoin
You are right about this, for low amounts its not even needed because of the fact that the blockchain as a example already has a good secured wallet.
I think that people should also more trust online wallets these days.

Well using  web wallets are  good  if you have only small amounts of bitcoin and we could really say that  because  we are  not assuring  too much our  bitcoin holdings since there few anyways but  for those how hold  huge amounts  for sure they would worry  about their funds  stored on an online wallet  thats why some  would  buy hardware wallets and store all those huge amounts of bitcoin for more security.

You have a point, hardware wallets would be only ideal if  you are  holding large amounts of bitcoin but  if  you only have small amounts then better to  store in web wallet because you would add up expense only if you  buy   hardware wallet just for small bitcoin  is just nonsense at all.

I dont like to put all of my coins into a wallet so i dont think i would buy a hardware wallet and that is just because i know how bad the security of the wallets are.

I disagree that the security of the bitcoin wallet providers online has bad security at all. Do you think blockchain has a bad security? I guess you are just putting out a statement without basis but I can't blame you if you think that online wallets does have poor security. For me, I won't go to buy hardware wallet it is just going to cost me another bucks.

You are right the blockchain as a example has a good security but it stays a  online wallet, who knows what will happen.
With a paper wallet you are safe from hackers, a hardware wallet is okay but I would never buy it.

in my opinion it is more secure and easy to use blokchain wallet, I suggest enable all existing security to avoid incidents that we do not want
How could it ever be considered safer to store your bitcoins online than offline, i wish people would stop posting shit they know nothing about.
Newbies reading this may actually take your shit advice seriously and end up losing their coins to a hack.

Just the entering with blockchain can be made very hard, but yes blockchain is a third party and when it comes to money or bitcoins it's much safer to store it offline by using a trezor hardware wallet then keeping it online for a third party to run away with your coins.

Yeah I would cause it gives you really good security and I think it's a good invesment for your BTC.Storing your BTC is a really big issue and more people should understand that it's crucial to choose a nice method for that.

actually all of the ad program its slot only to the safest only blokchain in my opinion. and if you had a lot of bitcoin I recommend saving it in your own applications

If it meant keeping my bitcoins safe, I would buy a hardware wallet since it's they are the safest wallets around. An alternative to hardware wallets would be a desktop wallet that you download on your desktop.

Yes for trezor, middle for offline wallet and not for the online wallet. but not all of the newbies know what is the hardware wallet, electrum and other, but they're always doing the familiar wallet site like blockchain without getting any advice. different with that we are able to make a continuous advice for newbies.

Correct, this is somehow misleading   especially to newbies  out there and  believing all of these things that are mostly  answered  here and that would possibly lead to a loss. Online and  offline wallet do differ  in security  basis. I could say that  offline wallets would  be much better  than online.

There are many hardware wallets (I use KeepKey).

The market is open for new solutions, but you should innovate, maybe offering other altcoins than BTC (XMR / ETH / Lisk).

I think that buying a hardware wallet can be good sometimes if you want to travel with it or something so you can make a payment with it too someone on that way.
It can be a option but I do not recommend you one because it can also get stuck or something.

It can be a option but I do not recommend you one because it can also get stuck or something.

You are aware that if it get stuck you can :

Recover the btc to a wallet.
Reset the device and recover the wallet with seed.
Losing the device will not compromise your wallet.

We can say that a hardware robust wallet is essential for people holding an important amount of BTC.

No I do not think that I would buy an hardware wallet because I think its useless, I already have a paper wallet, why would I buy a hardware wallet than.
I think that I simply do not need it, not now not anytime soon.

Why buying hardware wallets if they only like to scamm you and rid your coins if you can store them on your local computer i can tell you that is many times saver than putting them on the internet wallets.

What is your idea  about  hardware wallets? and  how  they would scam you? It just  no sense regarding  on the   things that you  mentioned  i supposed you are referring yo a web wallet  instead.  Yes  you could  able  to   store your bitcoin on you  pc and   much better   to buy  hardware wallets  if you  posses large amounts  of bitcoin.

Hardware wallets are okay but I think a paper wallet is better, of course it can be useful for some deals or something in person.
You can than just hand over the bitcoins for cash or something like that.
