I really trust more in web wallets than in harware wallets. The safety could be extreme but blockchain or bitcoin core is pretty accesible. It could be good for cold storage but I don't trust thousand of dollars in a hardware. You know, I had problem with blockchain in 2015 but nevermore. It's getting better everyday and the resources involved are awesome in blockchain. The support is also great.
I agree with you a hardware wallet is okay but a blockchain wallet (online wallets) are also good and its that some are good wallets and some or not good, when I talk about this I''m talking about the online wallets and the same rule is also applying for hardware wallets. But even if the online wallet is applying a same rule with the hardware wallet, but the hardware is giving more than web wallet and that's why the people is interesting for buying a hardware wallet.... just plug and your hardware wallet is already synchronize with your computer. |

Hardware wallets would be somehow safe or more secure than to those online wallets . This hardwares would be advisable if you do have many bitcoins on your possession but if you dont have much bitcoin then its better to use web wallet because it would add expenses only if you would buy hardware wallets. |

I dont think hardware wallets can protect your bitcoins for sure because already stolen from me out of a hardware wallet maybe it is better to store them local?

If you are a sensible type of person you would surely kept your hardware wallet to a secure place which cant be possibly stole by anyone from you. Hardware wallets is more secure that web wallet in my own opinion because on hardware wallet you could simply keep it and you are the only one who holding it unlike on web wallets. |

I would never buy hardware wallets just because i know for sure that people are getting rid by the online wallets in my opinion to store coins local is many times better/.

I would maybe consider it if I have a larger amount if bitcoin in my hands, but right now I'm not planning on getting one.
Maybe in the future I will, I now have a paper and online wallet.

I think people who have security worries about hardware wallets ain't looking hard enough. the whole point of them is that they're as secure as you can get. what i'm less confident of is longevity. if I want to park coins for many years I wouldn't trust flash memory to do it.

The longevity solution is rather simple and has been an addage many people have been taught as a kid. That is, "don't keep all your eggs in one basket. The neat thing about bitcoin though is that you can keep all your eggs in multiple baskets via backups. Yes, I would even back up a hardware wallet to a few different places if it had enough in it to be worried about. |

No I would not like a hardware wallet because its not something that I need and I also think that its not the safest way to safe your bitcoins to be honest.
Due to that I think its not the best way to safe them.

I think hardware wallet is safe place to keep bitcoins. For me it looks safer than desktop or online wallets. But hardware wallet is expensive thing, so I don't have plans to buy it. I'm confident enough with online wallets.

it's safer but it's more expensive comparing the web wallet you can get them for free. so with they're offering a valuable for us and there are the advantages giving by the hardware wallet like an automatic sync with a desktop wallet and low risk because the worst thing if we are losing or broke our hardware wallet. |

is there an assurance that hardware wallet won't be corrupted after years?
as far as i know if you don't use a device for months it will starts to deteriorate and will somehow malfunction in the end. so from time to time a person who owns one should at least access it maybe once a month.

No, thanks a hardware wallet can be nice to have and I think its also safe but I prefer a cold storage or a paper wallet, it just feels much safer and I'm also used to use them.

Lol. Even I won't go with hardware wallet but it's waste to buy a with our money and use it. Instead of that we can use the paper or cold storage or desktop wallet itself. I feel hardware wallet is kind of fancy to show off. |

Well there are still people or bitcoin holders do tend to buy hardware wallet because they want to have it everytime on their pocket or any palce that they want and its also ideal for storing huge amounts of bitcoins but same as yours i would like to use desktop wallets afterall. |

Even I do not find hardware wallet as a waste of money, I do not want to go for it as if a technology that might get failed by any damage or virus. But, having a hardware wallet for small amounts of bitcoin as a hot wallet must be a great idea as it ensures many security measurements for safety of our bitcoins. |

Maybe in the future that I would buy a hardware wallet but right now I'm pretty happy with my nice paper wallet I'm having right now.
Its a good wallet and I right now also love it more than a hardware one.

I cannot say if I want to buy a new hardware wallet, but certainly I would welcome new participants in the hardware market. The more providers offer hardware wallets in the market, the more offers I can choose from. With other words, the more possibilities the customers have. Furthermore, I think more competition could expand the prices in two directions that you could buy a HW wallet for and also expand the features because providers could get inspired by each others' innovation.
