BEST Cold Wallets UNDER $100 | In-Depth Review

[@cyberscrilla]

Use the code “13246500@sfp” at checkout to get $40 off the SafePal X1. For all the other wallets on this list, use the code “CYBERSCRILLA” at checkout for a nice discount. Let me know if you have any questions. - Alex

[@Chris-zu4es]

you have typed the wrong code in video description SFP instead of SPF! but now I've tried both and none of them working... but you still have both SFP and spf so you should change that and I will order when I get one that works

[@cyberscrilla]

@Chris-zu4es THIS code works I just tested it: 13246500@sfp

​@@cyberscrilla--- I'm totally new to crypto and not tech savvy, I'd like a cold storage wallet for self-custody that can connect to my laptop (USB-A) and tablet (USB-C), I don't want NFC or BT. I'm interested in holding BTC, PEPE, and Pikamoon PIKA. Can crypto and NFT be held on same wallet?

[@ofinnie]

Another great video, I have yet to buy my 1st crypto wallet.. I had my heart set on the One Key Classic 1S, but after watching this video the SafePal S1; is very tempting.. lol..

[@cyberscrilla]

I mean, for $30, the X1 is worth trying out 👍

[@uverex251]

I like Ledger Nano X and Arculus wallets The Best!!!!

[@cyberscrilla]

Nice! I probably will never use ledger again

[@CJ-ul6hm]

Safepal hands down is the best!

[@cyberscrilla]

Simple, secure, affordable. Checks all the boxes

[@GF_Burke]

All of them are good. Just depends on what they support for what you stack. Get more than 1.

[@USCG.Brennan]

OK....I just orderEd it using your code and it worked perfectly. THANKS so much!!

It works. Please enter the entire code. Just copy and paste this: 13246500@sfp

[@USCG.Brennan]

@@cyberscrilla OK....I put the number in, but not the rest. Thanks. Also your discount you show is for 40% off but your picture in the video shows $40 dollars off. Just saying...

[@cyberscrilla]

@@USCG.Brennan The code gives you $40 OFF. Not 40%

[@Char-rc2qf]

Can you please explain..trezor used bip39 single seed and slip 39 multi seed but when generating the key with slip39 it generates a single key so later on you want to move to a new cold wallet it recognizes slip 39 with having a single seed not a multi seed that it is looking for now it’s not accepting it due to it’s looking for a multi seed wouldn’t this create a vendor lockouts and could pose a problem especially if trezor went out of business thanks

[@cyberscrilla]

There other several software wallets that support SLIP39. And so does Kesytone. So no, it wouldn’t create a vendor lockout. But to your point, there are still many hardware wallets that don’t support SLIP39.

[@cybergigafactory]

Is it possible on Tangem to import a new wallet like a trust wallet where I already have my seed phrase? Or do I have to open this as a new wallet and transfer all my coins with transaction fees?

[@cyberscrilla]

Yes you can import a seed phrase. However, importing a hot wallet like trust wallet defeats the purpose of using a cold wallet like Tangem as the seed phrase is already hot. Id personally create a new wallet using Tangem and transfer my crypto to it from Trust wallet.

[@cybergigafactory]

@@cyberscrilla ok, this is a good reason to pay the fees once 😅 Thanks for your fast answer.

[@cyberscrilla]

You’re welcome! Also, I have an entire video on Tangem’s seed phrase, check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ2keauhrt5sbMksi=PklxTcRak_VfuoEP

[@cybergigafactory]

@@cyberscrilla saw it already but I haven’t understood, that the seed phrase is already less safe when used on a hot wallet. Until now my crypto was only around 3% but I am on my way to 10% and the goal is to get to around 20% in total. When I started, I planned to get a cold wallet when it hits 10% or five figures. So I need a cold wallet soon 😅 But I will wait for the stealth card from Tangem. They answered my question on X that it is not far away 😉

[@rahulcs2283]

sir how to tangem wallet open another softwear wallet . they have no seed phrase

[@cyberscrilla]

You can generate and import a seed phrase using the Tangem wallet. You must be thinking of the old design that they no longer sell.

[@oztech]

Is it storing all coins in single wallet better or distribute your coins to multiple wallets. Im just so afraid of loosing a wallet.

[@cyberscrilla]

Distribution is good idea. But remember, your wallet doesn’t actually hold crypto. It’s only used to access it. So as long as you have your seed phrase, you can access your crypto using most wallets on the market.

[@realmomsthrive]

What other 3rd party apps besides Meta Mask can you use on Keystone 3?

[@cyberscrilla]

You can view all the supported wallets on their website 👍 keyst.one/supported-wallets-and-assets?type=wallets

[@-zerocool-]

Also, I wonder if stating whether the device in question is from China or not as there are always fears they have been exploited at the factory.

[@izhiend]

Keystone and Onekey are Chinese companies, but I don't think that's a problem, honestly

[@cyberscrilla]

I’m not concerned.

[@charliefarleigh6108]

hi, what's the best cold wallet for a nomad? got any tips for digital nomad staying active & safe in crypto space?

[@cyberscrilla]

That’s a good question! If you use your wallet a lot, I’d go with Tangem. It’s convenient, extremely durable, doesn’t require any charging, and is very inconspicuous (it’s just a card) Otherwise, something like the Safepal X1 would be solid. It’s also secure and compatible with both mobile and desktop. Plus if you break it, it only costs $30 lol

[@fourblades6001]

I got the one key classic and I think I love it but I'm not smart enough (yet) to get the wallet properly integrated with my 1key mobile app. I do NOT want my mobile app to be able to send btc without approval from the cold wallet. Am I missing something?

[@cyberscrilla]

If you’re using the OneKey app as a hot wallet (not connected to your hardware wallet), then it’s just that. Meaning you can approve transactions via the app. But if you connect your OneKey Hardware wallet to the app, all transactions must be approved from your hardware wallet. Sounds like you might be using the app as its own wallet.

[@jimabigo4975]

Thanks man. Could you do a review on D'Cent card wallet, and how it compares to the Tangem ?

[@cyberscrilla]

I’ll see what I can do!! However, right off the bat I can tell you DCENT card wallet is seedless, meaning you don’t know the seed phrase. I don’t like that. If you lose your card, you lose your crypto. You also can’t import it into another brand wallet because you don’t know the seed phrase. Whereas Tangem lets you generate or import a seed phrase.

[@jimabigo4975]

@cyberscrilla Hmm, interesting. I share your view on seed phrase and would rather control it.

[@cyberscrilla]

@jimabigo4975 It’s for a good reason

[@huhu6759]

those wallets that connect to 3rd party wallets are better than those that aren't connected with 3rd party so keystone 3 pro is the best wallets on earth, followed by one-key pro ( fake batter device )

[@cyberscrilla]

Why?

[@huhu6759]

wallets using their own companion or native apps have backdoors. Some steal the coins in terms of high gas fees or dust. 3rd party apps have nothing in common with the device paired with them. So device pairing to 3rd party apps have very strong security. So keystone 3 pro is the best cold wallet on earth.

[@cyberscrilla]

@huhu6759 Uhmm. An app couldn’t increase your gas fees to steal your coins. This is determined by the blockchain. Those are some serious claims without any data to back what you’re saying. You don’t even mention which companion app. You’re just saying in general which is not true. Especially because many companion apps are 100% open source.

[@huhu6759]

Dcent app. Korean device. When tangem shows eth gas fee of 0.2, dcent app will show 7$ as eth gas fee

[@baronsilverbaron757]

It's worth looking at the Blockstream Jade especially when used in conjunction with the desktop Sparrow wallet.

[@antiWhiteism777]

Isn't Jade BTC only?

[@cyberscrilla]

@antiWhiteism777 yes it is

[@manysp6195]

Does the Tangem wallet support xrp and xlm

[@cyberscrilla]

Yes, Tangem supports both XRP and XLM 👍

[@iamAbuHamza]

I have bought Tangem by watching your video, but you have never said Stellar doesn’t support I want to store Velo from Kucoin, but it does not support can you help me to convert XLM to BEP20 ?

[@cyberscrilla]

First off, you should ALWAYS check that the wallet you want to get supports the coins you want to hold. I can’t list the thousands of tokens a wallet holds or doesn’t hold in a video. Second, Tangem does support Stellar (XLM). Open the Tangem app, Tap Manage Coins, search for XLM and enable it. Tangem also supports Velo… again, go to manage coins and search “VELO” to enable it. - Alex

[@iamAbuHamza]

[@dielreis]

If I got well, when creating a new wallet at Tangem, the seed phrases generation is processed by my phone? Is that secure?

[@cyberscrilla]

The seed phrase is generated by your phone and displayed briefly so you can record it. It’s not stored anywhere. Yes, it’s safe

[@dielreis]

@@cyberscrilla Sorry, but my phone is a device connected to internet and could have some malware. Isn´t that like setting up a trustwallet ou safepal hotwallet? Thanks.

[@cyberscrilla]

Not really. Trust wallet stores your seed phrase/private key in the app on your phone. That’s why it’s called a hot wallet. Tangem doesn’t store your seed phrase at all and stores your private key offline on the secure element chip in the card, thus it’s a cold wallet. And let’s be honest, regardless of which wallet you use, you should never be connecting it to a compromised device. That’s just common sense

[@dielreis]

@@cyberscrilla You are right. But I think that seed phrase generation is a crucial step and it should be done completely offline. No one knows if the device is compromised until..... it is too late. Thanks.

[@cyberscrilla]

@dielreis Fair. But facts remain. Tangem has sold over 1 million wallets over the last 7 years and not a single one has been compromised. However, brands like Ledger and Trezor, both which produce their seed phrase offline have been hacked for their seed phrase and PIN. There’s always more to security than meets the eye.

[@USCG.Brennan]

What do you know about John McAfee's Bitfi wallet? Good and bad.

[@cyberscrilla]

I don’t know much about it other than it was hacked numerous times, and Amazon even stopped selling it. Without doing further research I wouldn’t touch it. Especially when there are much more reputable companies to choose from.

[@jeffwoodward6171]

Thoughts on the ELLIPAL titan mini?

[@cyberscrilla]

It’s not my top wallet anymore, but it’s good. Nothing particularly wrong with it and it’s a solid choice if you want an air gapped wallet

[@Kaan-42]

Where can we buy the micro sd card😅

[@cyberscrilla]

Keystone’s website, Amazon, Walmart

[@Radehx]

Cheap USB stick & Tails beats all of those. You aren't locked into a system that might stop being supported or a device that might break. And it's cheaper.

[@cyberscrilla]

I disagree. How do you manage crypto on a USB stick? Also, usb sticks lack all the security features that these wallets have. And, it really doesn’t matter if a wallet breaks or stops working, seed phrases can be input to any wallet. You’re not “locked into a system”

[@Radehx]

@@cyberscrilla Electrum comes preinstalled, you aren't at the mercy of some China-produced stuff like you sell due to affiliate offers, not at the mercy of potentially bad firmware upgrades, it's cheaper and what "security features" make it safer than proper opsec when using Tails? Hunted journalists and otherwise threatened people use Tails all the time...in cases where their life depends on proper opsec, not just money. And no blind signing like some of the wallets you try to sell. But yeah, no affiliate fees so recommending the same wallets every other week/month pays better I guess ;)

[@cyberscrilla]

@Radehx I can easily sell USB sticks and get affiliate commission. But the reality is, most people would rather use a cold wallet that’s compatible with multiple currencies and has numerous security features. But hey, you use what makes you happy :)

[@Radehx]

@@cyberscrilla USB sticks are much cheaper, so less affiliate fees. Also, Exodus works on Tails. Sure some hardware wallets offer slightly better convenience, but at the cost of worse safety and control. Your video has the word "secure" in it, but then you peddle closed source custodial wallets...bit comical.

[@vincenzo9347]

I destroyed my Keystone 3 Pro with a hammer on purpose. I couldn't charge the battery past 9% or get the new firmware update unless the keystone had at least 20%. If I unplugged the device from the charger it would go completely dead. Upon reset, the device bricked making it a $120 paper weight. I was able to get 100% charge for 2 cycles. I couldn't get in touch with customer service to resolve the issue. For this reason alone I don't like wallets with batteries. This was my experience and I've read others have had the same problem. I will stick with Tangem.

[@MoonLightEarth]

Super Video!!! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cyberscrilla]

Thanks for watching!

[@huhu6759]

I have almost all those wallets: keypal, keystone, Safepal, ledger x, dcent, ellipal, hashwallet, onekey, crypnox, arculus, Tangem. My choice is Tangem and Dcent and hashwallet cards but hashwallet app is below standard. They have no good coding and designer and programmer so their app is far far far below standard but their card is best

[@-zerocool-]

Tangem needs a built in Dapp browser, I dont know how people are using it efficiently otherwise.

[@cyberscrilla]

Well, if you’re using it as a cold storage wallet, you wouldn’t need dapp browser because you shouldn’t be connecting it to sites. However, if you’re using it as a mess around wallet, it’d be helpful. The walletconnect works fine in my experience

[@randalllawkin]

yeah Wallet Connect works great and is easy.

[@user-sb9cs6qc8h]

Is the first one really that hard to use? I'm pretty tech savvy, it seemed simple to me. I've never used cold wallets before .

[@cyberscrilla]

It’s not terrible. Just the fact that you have to use software wallets to manage tokens can be confusing for beginners.

[@USCG.Brennan]

Also....in your video here you said that the X! has a 40% off code (from you) but you're showing $40 dollars off instead. Just saying.....

[@cyberscrilla]

Yep, just a slip up during recording. That’s why I put “$40 OFF” on screen. Also, $40 off is a better deal than 40% off 😉

[@USCG.Brennan]

Jade green 60 bucks

[@cyberscrilla]

True, but not one of my favorites. Mainly because it’s BTC only. Which is fine, just not for me

[@randalllawkin]

nfc more safe than bluetooth

[@cyberscrilla]

NFC is generally considered more secure for short-range transactions due to its limited range. Bluetooth, on the other hand, can operate over longer distances, which could potentially increase its vulnerability to certain types of attacks if not properly secured. However, both can be secure when implemented correctly with encryption and authentication measures.

[@ryanchinh1040]

Credit card is not a hardware wallet is software wallet. It store online.

[@cyberscrilla]

There’s no credit card on this list? If you’re talking about Tangem, the private key is stored offline on the secure element chip inside the card. No private info is stored on the app. It’s a cold wallet.

[@jiaxiang]

i think tangem is better

[@cyberscrilla]

Better than what??

[@cyberscrilla]

@@Rains-in How is it blind signing? The transaction details are displayed on your phone’s screen. Also, it’s not like a hot wallet. Hot wallet means your private key/seed phrase is stored on the software. Tangem’s private key is stored on the card in the secure element. Sure, the seed phrase is displayed on your phone’s screen temporarily while you record it, but it’s not stored in the software which is proven because the app is 100% open source.

[@huhu6759]

Keystone isn't good. Keystone 3 pro is a failure, it isn't supposed to be released. firmware bug, transaction bug, pairing bug. too much horrible. I regret buying the keystone 3 pro
