Are you an idiot with no IT experience? GREAT! A hardware wallet is nice for you, paper wallets are still better though. But even if you are retarded you should be able to just make a plain usb stick and encrypt it, there you go you have a hardware wallet ! it just costs tons less and when the cops or other criminals find it you can always just say its your huge porn collection. when they find your ledger or trezor... well.

Anyway another smart way is storing an encrypted file somewhere in the cloud, or on multiple places. You know, then you can take a plane and move a different country. or you store the phrase in your brain like a real OG.

Ledgers and Trezors are not safe.

How you store your keys isn't as important as how you conduct yourself when you make it.

nigger the seed phrase / private key is whats important. you can print it on a paper and use it with metamask at the same time holy shitterino. or you know, you make two addresses and have one paper one and one online one for your meta mask shit.

you can use an amnesiac operating system that forgets everything after using the USB
you can use a jailbox that doesn't connect the program the internet while opening the file

the disadvantage with a hardware wallet is that your house can burn down


If you want it REAL safe, use VeraCrypt with hidden volumes. With this no one can even see that there is a hidden encrypted volume.
This is an OpSec requirement if there is a key disclosure law in your country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law..

I live in a country with no niggers and overall low crime. I can memorize the 12 word seed phrase and I'm absolutely not worried about my hardware wallet getting physically stolen. All I'm worried about is that when I use Uniswap or Aave, that some hacker didn't place some malware in my PC that will steal my private keys somehow. That's my main concern which is why I'm planning on buying a Trezor. No I don't give a shit that it might cost more than a USB with your verarypt and hashcrypt and what not.

So tell me honestly now, is there some REAL security threat by using Trezor if nobody will be able to physically get access to it?
