Definitely, the best video I have seen on Hardware wallets (and I've seen a few). If you a serious about crypto then you should be watching James videos. 🙂
Any hardware wallet that requires a firmware update is total SHIT! I have a Trezor and was forced to do a firmware update and it took me 8 hours to make it work. It was a fricking nightmare! Firmware updates cannot be done by a newbie, I’m tech savvy and was barely able to make it work. Therefore these are all SHIT!
Worst problem is glitchy Bluetooth and batteries that go bad.
Hi James, can you explain why you didn't mention the ballet wallet
Shill-free information from a genuine and knowledgeable human. Always apprecite your content and character.
Very detailed and easy to understand. Awesome!
Thanks for your video, always worth watching. There is actually a new cold wallet the COOL WALLET PRO, made by ORE. Shaped as a creditcard, and my Ledger X is suddenly old dinosaur, and security is higer.
Can you transfer XRP from BSC wallet stored on Nano X ledger to Uphold, or does it all have to be ERC-20?
Thanks for this great video! About to buy a wallet.
Noob question for ANYONE who knows: Can I secure my nfts AND my crypto from TWO different wallets (MM and Temple T) on ONE cold wallet? like one Trezor? Or would I need 2? Thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks!
The ultimate wallet is when you find out how to take it with you.
Bro my xdc vanish from my ellipal wallet but my other coins is still there wtf has happend?
Should've watched this earlier. Only watching this after getting hacked and losing half of my sol. Heartbreaking.
The Ultimate Crypto guru.
Who came here after watching yesterdays video 😂
Buying a wallet today….. who do I ask ?, my unofficial FA.
Thanks James.
When I buy crypto on my non kyc wallet, does my bank know that Im buying crypto?
please tell your subs the ledger Nono x and s are not Chrome os compatible and they dont explain this and wont refund you…complete mess.
Very helpful! Thank you millions!
Gr8 Review!!
Why are they making these things so Small?? Not at All, User friendly!! Even Babies fingers are too big for these screens…..What, small size to save a buck?? I'll be buying one (if) they ever make one that's sized to work with the average human fingers!!
i really liked your video! you are a very good presenter! keep it up!! and absorb all the great vibes people here are giving u, those are the best likes and subs you can ever get!
Hey James – just interested if this video is still current or if you would update it in any way?
Ive been looking into a wallet recently since the canada stuff and then I remember, oh yea lol theres no way James didnt make a video about this. Thanks dude!!
I have a Trezor wallet. When my ETH send transaction stuck because of low gas fee, Trezor Support couldn't provide a solution but asked me to wait until it goes through or is returned to my wallet. After 5 days I had to use MyEtherWallet in combination with Trezor Suite to cancel the pending transaction.
What stops somebody from brute force guessing seed phrase combinations?
Thanks James for the video but I wish you would share what cold wallet you use!
Why are you out of breath?
