In most part of Africa hardware wallets are not only difficult but expensive to get apart form using custodian wallets like trust wallet and metamask is there an alternative software that can help hodl Bitcoin in a flash drive. or otherwise
I think the hardware wallets don't have any rocket science, it's just that it contains your private key which makes your wallet accessible when the hardware wallet is attached. If you keep the private key in the pendrive and attach it only while making your transaction and remove it after transaction it's as good as a hardware wallet only. But yes that automatic mechanism you won't get using a flash drive.
