Hardware Wallets
Hardware wallets solve a very specific problem. Since Bitcoin transactions require the Internet to take place, there has always been an inherent security risk connected to using Bitcoin. Even though there are plenty of security measures, like password protected wallets, to stop malicious hackers from stealing your Bitcoin, a computer with security flaws will consequently lead to an insecure Bitcoin wallet.

This sparked the desire for Hardware Wallets (often also called ‘cold storage’), where we store our Bitcoin on a device that is completely disconnected from the Internet. Like that we can rest assured that our wallet will not suddenly be empty the next day.
