Top 4 Crypto Hardware Wallets in 2023

[@adamventure]

Which hardware wallet is your favorite?

[@nosuchthing8]

Stupid question: what happens if the hardware wallet dies? They look like ssd devices which are notorious for not lasting that long..10 years maybe?

[@adamventure]

@@nosuchthing8 that's actually a phenomenal question! If the hardware wallet dies (or is lost) for any reason you can use your 24 word seed phrase to restore your wallet to another device

[@nosuchthing8]

@@adamventure Ok, perfect. That's what I was hoping. I guess keep a printout of the seed phrase in a bank, etc. Or perhaps store it on one of the special DVD/BR disks that are *advertised* to last a thousand years.

[@adamventure]

[@cryptoking24]

This video really helped clarify some of the complexities of crypto investing.

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

Ftx was the last straw. I'm getting a hardware wallet now

[@adamventure]

Great call, its not worth keeping crypto on any centralized platform right now

[@jpp59]

Keystone wallet is the only one that can validate also the Smart contract (in defi, nft). You can load with sdcard a database of contract that it will use so you are not ''blind signing''

[@jenniferneal6]

Quick question... (New to crypto) if you store your crypto on a hard wallet, do you still need to set buy and sell limits on platform(s)? Thanks for taking the time to answer.

[@adamventure]

No worries, we all start somewhere! No you don't need to worry about that since your crypto is no longer stored on that platform. Its stored on a separate wallet that only you control

[@sategllib2191]

You have to watch and sell or buy manually

[@sk1909]

Just ordered nanox today! Will be in touch if I need advice

[@adamventure]

Good stuff you'll love it!

[@chlorisflint3736]

Thank you Adam. Its very useful.

[@adamventure]

You're very welcome, glad it helps!

[@ambiencelectronica]

Where can we see a list of coins ledger holds please?

[@adamventure]

Right here: adamventure.link/ledgersupportedcrypto

[@nicholasbell536]

Is the ledger nano OK to buy still as they were partnered with ftx???

[@adamventure]

Great question! So Ledger had simply integrated with FTX to provide direct trades/sales to your Ledger addresses. That's all it was, they did not lose any assets with the collapse. And absolute worse case, let's say hypothetically they did, your crypto is fully under your control (with your seed phrase) so you could always switch to another hardware wallet. They have no control over your crypto

[@globalrevival]

So, being compatible with 5000+ coins doesn’t mean you can actually store that many different coins. Can you speak to the limitations of the device on how many different kind of coins that can be stored? In an older device, seems like it ran out of space after about 3 “apps” were loaded onto the device to support 3 different coins. Please explain this limitation. Thanks.

[@adamventure]

So apps basically means network. Like the Ethereum app lets you use the Ethereum network. And on the Ethereum network (with the single app), you can store effectively unlimited tokens. The same applies to other networks like Solana, Polygon, etc. That's where the 5000+ number comes from. Hope that makes sense!

[@globalrevival]

@@adamventure Yes, that makes sense. But, an older Ledger S couldn’t store more than 3 apps (networks, BTC, ETH, and a XRP (I think)) before not permitting any further apps to be loaded onto it to to support other networked coins. Do you know what the limits are for these new devices?

[@stevenffarah]

Something you forgot to mention is the ability on the Ledger to stake various assets as well as the many apps on Ledger as opposed to the others

[@adamventure]

Very true that is an important feature that is really nice to have! They don't have a ton of networks working but are adding them quickly

[@J.G.resilient]

What you think about Tangem?

[@helenaterschegget8791]

I just got the cool wallet what I like about it is to send out crypto you must always push the button on the card itself even if you do it through an app, web. Maybe you could do a review ? :) Plus then now let you switch between cold and hot wallet and it’s always good to have at least 2 one for trading and one for storing:)

[@adamventure]

That does look very cool, pun absolutely intended! I'll see if I can get one and get to know how it works. The switch between the hot and cold wallets are very interesting too

[@fredrickcallahan4292]

Thanks Adam! Given the FTX debacle and ripple effect, perhaps MM connected to Nano X could cover all bases safely? One needs MM to hold certain coins that can't go into the Nano X, correct? Thanks for your videos!

[@yashwanthvarma6962]

After creating a wallet address in the ledger and verified the address of the crypto by send a small amount , can i receive crypto payments from others directly to my ledger crypto wallet address or do I need to get the crypto to my exchanges wallet address and then to the ledger wallet address?

[@adamventure]

Answered on your other comment!

[@alexnlsptube]

Adam, to transfer Eth from Binance to Nano X can we use Trx network like between exchanges in order to avoid paying those high gas fees of Eth network?

[@adamventure]

Yes technically you can, just know that the ETH will be a token on the TRX network (you would use your Tron address, not ETH), and NOT natively on the ETH network

[@alexnlsptube]

@@adamventure And that could be less secure, like trx blockchain going down easily than Eth? Newbie here.

[@adamventure]

​@@alexnlsptube yeah more or less, but Tron has been around a while and its pretty well established at this point. More so that ETH on Tron isn't "real ETH" - its just a token representing it. There's more to it but I don't wanna bog you down with too much info all at once

Hi Adam. Thank you for this helpful intro to hardware wallets. As a newbie I'm overwhelmed with the options and products available. This helped a lot. Gonna check out now, if the Nano X has reached supported level for Metamask now. If it does, it's my goto device, even when the price hurts a bit.

[@adamventure]

Nano X does work with MetaMask! If you need a cheaper option the Nano S Plus does as well

[@MarkusEicher70]

@@adamventure Thanks for the info. I knew it was working with the desktop version if I'm not wrong, but it if works with mobile too, I 'm happy. 😊

[@adamventure]

@@MarkusEicher70 ah you're interested in mobile specifically. MetaMask was supposed to release that integration last year, but with all the layoffs they've been doing who knows when it will come out. Your best option for that right now is Keystone, they gave me a 30% for my viewers to use: "AdamVenture" adamventure.link/keystone

[@Big_Yum]

Do you have to use metamask in order to hold eth with this wallet?

[@adamventure]

Nope just helps with defi, which is becoming less of an issue as more dapps integrate directly now

[@ahmayya24]

Hello alAdam, Please advice which hardware wallet works well with IPhone. Also provide video instructions on how to set up a hardware wallet for Coinbase. Thank you

[@adamventure]

I'd say the Ledger is the best for iPhones. You can't use hardware wallets to store assets on centralized exchanges like Coinbase, but you can buy them on Coinbase and send them to your Ledger. My channel has multiple videos covering that whole process

[@ahmayya24]

[@chrischerry3032]

Can I use the keystone with trustwallet?

[@adamventure]

Unfortunately no, Trust Wallet does not support hardware wallets

[@alexnlsptube]

But can Nano S plus store more than 3 diferent cryptos? I understood not from another video of yours.

[@adamventure]

Yes - the S Plus can use 100ish different networks at once, for pretty much unlimited crypto storage

[@alexnlsptube]

@@adamventure How about buying 1 Nano S Plus + 1 Trezor One, for the price of 1 Nano X? Probably easier to have just 1 wallet, the X, and more advanced than the other 2. Just thoughts.

[@adamventure]

@@alexnlsptube to be honest if you're not going to use your phone for crypto you can just stick with the Nano S Plus (maybe get a 2nd as a backup device if you want). If you think you'll do crypto on your phone then the Nano X is your best bet

[@alexnlsptube]

@@adamventure how about Safepal? For a Binance user seems easier to use. Could you do a comparison with the cheaper legder and trezor, since it is in that price range?

[@adamventure]

@@alexnlsptube I don't have that one but it does look really cool. The main thing is its not integrated with nearly as many blockchains/wallets compared to Ledger, especially MetaMask. But if you're just storing crypto then it should get the job done

[@randychung0402]

Could you please do a tutorial of selling your crypto via ledger? We understand you can send it back to the exchange, but would be great if you could show us how to sell from ledger directly thanks

[@brenden9755]

For the Ledger Nano X would the fact that it has Bluetooth capabilities be more of security threat given its a lot more susceptible to malware and hackers?

[@adamventure]

Yes you're absolutely right - in theory, bluetooth provides an additional attack vector for bad actors. In practice, this isn't a huge factor because your Ledger should be kept in a safe private place the vast majority of the time, or powered off if taken into public

[@brenden9755]

@@adamventure thank you that gives me more confidence in the product then

[@adamventure]

@@brenden9755 you got it!

[@sgt_major8419]

This is incorrect, simply because bluetooth or no bluetooth, everything of value is secured on the actual internal "secured" chip within the Ledger itself, only "useless" non sensitive information is sent between the unit and your smartphone. It is the same as when you connect your Ledger via USB to use it on your computer with Ledger live, its "dumb data" that is being transmitted and even if at that exact moment you were being hacked or spied on, the data would be worthless. So in reality, if you feel comfortable using a hardware wallet via USB cable, you should be comfortable using bluetooth. Also, just to add, if you really are afraid of being hacked by someone TARGETING you while using bluetooth, I would be far more concerned with the fact they KNOW what you are doing and are so close, which basically means you are 1000000000000000000% more in danger of the good old "$5 wrench" attack, so take a momnt and consider those facts, because what is mentioned above is fact and not opinion based.

[@MalphiteOnly]

Not compatible with iPhone and you give it a 4 star?

[@Scrap1914]

What about Ellipal?

[@adamventure]

Ellipal is cool if you're just storing your crypto, but if you need to do any defi it doesn't have as many integrations

[@MegaWayfarer]

What about the question of where these are manufactured. I hear Ledger has moved to China. Keystone is there and so is Ellipal. Trezor one has been hacked already.

[@anderigs]

How come you gave 4.5 for the Keystone for the currencies supported. This seems to be a great wallet apart from this - but this is so bad that I think this should be a 2. Otherwise great review.

[@adamventure]

So they definitely don't have as many supported crypto as Ledger. But Keystone supports all EVM blockchains and tokens which is the majority of what most people need. And they have integrations to other blockchains like Solana and Cosmos, and are developing more pretty quickly. That's why I rated them a 4.5

[@DinoFancellu]

Funny how the ledger blue was memory holed...

[@brbubba]

Own Nano X and Keystone Pro. I hate the nano X. I just use Keystone Pro with metamask exclusively, works really well. Bought a cheap wide angle webcam for authentication. Metamask already works really well, better than any hardware wallet's native software. Don't reinvent the wheel, use what works. It's also compatible with a ton of software wallets.
