Replying to Avatar BITwise šŸ³ >>= RIGHTish

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.

I reset my ledger after I set it up the first time. Because I donā€™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 donā€™t argue with that! I personally am not ready nor do I think itā€™s necessary to have multisig.

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

I think with passphrase itā€™s not a big problem to reuse the seed
