- Go offline ("air-gapped"), do part offline, do part online (all with the blinds/drapes closed), because... ??
- How is this safer than just importing the wallet into Blue on my iPhone and then sending to Coinbase?
- I can see how 1 option is an anxiety-inducing difficult and confusing set of steps and how the other option is tap-tap, send, easy/done, but I do not understand how the super difficult option is "safer" than the super easy option?
It is not a difficult option, it is one that requires more of your attention.
Why is it more secure?
-Because your private keys are never exposed to intruders and in an app they are.
Entering low value coins doesn't mean anything, an experienced hacker would expect a large amount.
No device with internet access is secure.
So, your two options are comfort vs. security, that is your decision as to which one you will use, here we only comply with warning you.
