Ledger nano s plus has the best ratio price/quality

another cheap option could be an airgapped (not connected to internet) android phone with bitcoin wallet app

I have an old android phone I could use for this. Know any tutorials or wallets to use for this option?

Wipe data/factory phone (via recovery mode)

Install F-droid if you want to avoid setting up google drive

Download/Install wallet software

Put airplane mode and remove saved wifi password

Create crypto wallet

Backup seed wallet

From now on you MUST avoid connecting it to the internet (if you do, your security may be compromised)

I can’t advice specific apps, here are some:

Got it! So how would I move my BTC off it in the future? Reconnect to internet and move it I guess?

Will get back at you in days if I can find a link

I’m pretty sure I saw an app or something that used qrcode or bluetooth to pass signed messaged from cold wallet phone to normal phone

In this case the private key on cold phone sign the message, then the message is forwarded to “normal” phone and then to internet

That makes a lot of sense. I love the idea! Thanks for sharing. Let me know if you find the app. 🤙

Thanks for the zap by the way :)

No problem my friend! 🤜🤛⚡️
