Did you sweep your ledger by using the private key or did you set up a new account and transfer onchain?

I ask because, I was thinking about opsec and how if Ledger already has access to your private keys, are you really safe from government tracking or seizure if you sweep to another hardware wallet?

Not saying for sure one way or another, just food for thought.

Would definitely recommend to set up a new seed phrase and send onchain.

Thoughts about running it through a mixer furst? They wouldn't be able to sweepnsince its a new private key but they can track utxos

That’s up to you, your #Bitcoin is safe with a new seed phrase but it’s traceable if you left your identity (KYC) somewhere on the way.

I reset my ledger after I set it up the first time. Because I don’t do transactions with my Bitcoin stack.

Never did any update with it and just destroyed the whole thing and used my original seed. Additional layers of passphrases I do recommend.

But I can understand some people might not agree with this

i would not reuse the words/seed phrase (my trust in ledger is simply destroyed )

i would always prefer multisig over passphrase:

I don’t argue with that! I personally am not ready nor do I think it’s necessary to have multisig.

But I can definitely understand why you would want to have that extreme level of security

i forgot to say thank you, your experience with the jade sounds great 🧡

I think with passphrase it’s not a big problem to reuse the seed
