Planning out Christmas gifts now so I am prepared 😂

Too many kids and family members to screw around and wait till December.

This platform is absolutely lit for asking questions! If you new here, you should ask around as much as you can, there are some pretty smart plebs floating around

There is no secret formula. Spend some time reading the documentation on all of those, and ask yourself; "Why are those the only one's he recommended?"

When you understand the answer to that question, you'll be ready to decide what type of long term storage is right FOR YOU.

A bip 39 seed will work anywhere.

Coldcard is "source viewable" NOT open source.

Both are subject to supply chain attacks and potential rug pulls from the company itself.

However, Coinkite (maker of coldcard) has demonstrated FAR MORE trustworthiness than Ledger over the last few years.

I have her a scratch and let her know you thought so 🫂🐶💜

What a beautiful day for a walk with Mosha ☀️😍🐾🐶💜

Sunny and 12°C on November 12th, just what Mosha wanted for her 4,762nd day on the planet.

You could still access all your funds.

It doesn’t really impact you, unless there is bad or malicious code in the device which gets exploited. The difference is that with open source code, smart people can look at it and verify that it doesn’t, but with closed source code, you just have to trust the company.

I’m not sure how much software supports ledger devices, but they are pretty common so I would assume most does. Ledger also supports shitcoins, which opens up a wider attack surface and is another thing to consider. I personally would never recommend a ledger product to anyone, but if you already have one and really don’t want to switch it, at least get ride of the dogshit ledger live software.

Ledger is closed source. Especially if you use it with ledger live, that means that nobody can examine or verify the code running on the device or on your computer.

All the wallet companies will not go extinct, but it doesn’t matter if yours does. Coldcard doesn’t create software for instance. You have to use a Coldcard with generic software like Sparrow Wallet, meaning that once you buy the device it doesn’t matter what happens to the company. You can even use a ledger with most generic software.

I just went for a run with mouth tape for the first time. Been using mouth tape for sleeping for a while now.

The result is INSANE! Never felt better during and after the run. Felt like meditation for me.

I’m impressed

But don’t you dare to call this a platform
