Anybody who trusts Ledger with their keys, and thus their coins, is an idiot.

An idiot.

An idiot that pays for the privilege of being an idiot.


Are we allowed to call people who fall for this idiots? Cheesy

Is this worse or better than people who trust exchanges or soon ETFs with their Bitcoins?

To be fair the ETFs are targeted towards an audience that would not get exposure to Bitcoin otherwise, though I'm not quite sure who those people would be outside of institutional investors. But maybe there's still some folks out there that prefer paying a management fee over learning how to secure the coins themselves -- as we can see with Ledger, the pitfalls of keeping coins secure are plenty.
