Would you buy a hardware wallet?

[iv4n]

Yes I would buy hardware wallet if I have some huge amount of money in bitcoins. I don't have, but I was lucky enough to get one hardware wallet. It's from some prize, but I don't know how I got it or from where, I opened new thread for that, but without answers. I still don't know from whom I got it, just one day postman delivered it to me.
Well now I have good wallet and I don't plan to buy another one.

Buying a hardware wallet can be good but I think that I would not use it a lot because I have some other wallets.
I also use online wallet so that is why..

It's good because it's portable, and it's also safe to have it. But even though it is safer than having your money saved in an online, web-browser based wallet, a paper wallet is still the safest option you can go for. I'm using them and it feels way better and safer than having to enter your credentials in different websites.

I think that its also not worth it because its not very easily with payments, online wallets are better for payments.
On the other hand hardware wallets can be nice for large amounts maybe.

You need learning more about the hardware wallet, it's just like you're using the offline wallet but you can bring your wallet into everywhere you want. and you can synchronize the hardware wallet with an offline wallet like an electrum and that is the best combination.

If you have a lot better using your bitcoin wallet itself to maintain the security

You could actually use both,  especially if  your kind of a person does have many transactions  made online which  web wallet   does the edge  on having this situation  unlike  on  using hardware wallets  but  when  you possess large amounts you could store it on hardware which is somehow safe compared to web wallets.

And so ever you try an hardware wallet before? That is just for the people is want for get a high security for their money.

I would never buy a hardware wallet i think because i know for sure that allot of people are not making any kind of trouble using it but why stroing online if you can store them local.

I could somehow say that  hardware wallets  is more secure than web wallets  especially  when you are holding  huge volumes  of bitcoin. In my own side if i have   lots amount  bitcoin then for sure i would buy  hardware wallets and keep it for more  secure of your money without  any risk on  lossing it.

I would never buy a hardware wallet and that is just becuase i dont like to get rid of my coins i store my coins local because i dont trust the internet wallets sorry for that.

[Barbut]

How much money for hardware wallet? For now I don't need some extra protection, and I'm not working with high amounts. Hardware wallet is probably for people who need it for some of this reasons.
Maybe one day in the future I will have one, for now I don't even know where to buy one, I never searched for it. But like many things, this is something good to know.

I think those hardware wallets are also like local wallet but rather than downloading whole blockchain ledger they just use remote server to make transaction. Downloading whole bitcoin ledger is very hard these days so we don't have much option left rather than using web wallets.

A hardware wallet can be good but its not for everyone and its also that a hardware wallet is not very nice too have if I have to be honest.
Hardware wallets are also not so safe as you think..

[RobinHoodster]

A hardware wallet is something that you can buy if you a large sum of bitcoins but its without any doubts not the safest method to store them.
If you want to have your wallet with you on that way it can be an option of course.

So tell us why you don't think they are safe, specifically what is wrong trezor or ledger

It depends on how it secured and also how good it is secured, if such an hardware wallet is not good secured it is not very safe, but its really laying if it will be secured.

Because I still new know about bitcoin, maybe when my balance more than 15 BTC I will buy hardware wallet

[dc1a0]

I will definitely buy a hardware wallet at some point. Currently the plan is to buy one when I can pay for it in bitcoin, and have earned enough bitcoin that I can afford one and still have enough bitcoin that it would be worth using it to protect. Until then, just taking smart precautionary measures will have to du as I would not be able to justify the expense.

There are a lot of pros and cons about hardware wallets. But in my opinion depending on only one resource is always dangerous.

Moreover you are saying you will buy hardware wallet after having huge amount of bitcoins is also not the right approach. Because till 15 bitcoins, you are taking the risk with your bitcoin saving. I suggest to go for off line wallets with multiple backups from the beginning of your journey towards 15 bitcoins.

Downloading the  whole blockchain is  a really pain in the ass  and you would need  huge space on your storage  and you need to wait for  couple  of days before  you  could download it completely but its worth  for the effort  and time  you spent because   pc  wallets  do have some  advantages compared to  web wallets. For me  hardware wallet would also do  if  you have bitcoin to store from it.
