Jade is great. It’s the entry level #bitcoin HWW that I would suggest at this point.

The wallet ladder I’d take a newcoiner through today is something like:

Muun < Green < Jade < Passport

Muun: for a LN wallet with good recovery features that don’t require doxing yourself.

Green: Blockstream’s standalone hot wallet and the native companion app for Jade. Simple UI, strong set of features.

Jade: Excellent HWW wallet at a keen price point ($65, though I remember when it used to be like $44.99). Also great for learning the basics of airgapping. Though it’s still a Bluetooth enabled device, so I slap camera cover on the back out of paranoia.

Passport: #[4]​ airgap ONLY HWW. Price hurts a bit more at $199 but they make airgapped key generation simple and easy, and their Envoy companion app is good enough (and will certainly improve more / quickly over time)

Thanks for this!! Really appreciated

Don’t want Bluetooth for your #Bitcoin hardware wallet?

Turn it off or flash the “No-Radio” firmware variant on Jade ⬇️
