Anyone who has a somewhat decent value in Bitcoin or other crypto should have at least 2 devices.
~snip~

I've been practicing this ever since I bought my first HW around 2017 (if I'm not mistaken), and it continues today. Someone may not agree that it makes sense to buy HW that costs $200+ and have more than one device, but the only thing is how much someone understands that it is actually a small investment compared to the risk they could be exposed to if the only HW they have breaks down.

It depends a bit on how much money you have in these assets but during extreme bull market euphoria there is no justification for not having a second HW wallet. It used to cost less too, so for the longer part of the history the cost was smaller to have both.

For us in the EU, the approximate delivery time is 3-5 business days, but you should always consider that the device may be out of stock or the supply chain may be disrupted. It should also be added that with all these regulations that we see every day, we may end up in a situation where HW will not be able to be purchased just like that.

It is a scary potential future and in any case there are dangers. I would not buy such a wallet from anywhere but if you buy it from Ledger directly then we see what happens when their database gets hacked.

You can make your points without the use of curse word "crazy"

I don't know your native language, but crazy is most definitely not a curse word. Grin

Yes, Ledger isn't open source as they say, the firmware is closed source that makes it partly in between.

See that is what I mean. Closed source firmware and need to connect to the internet to transact, how could this be considered an offline wallet?

If i want to use a hardware wallet, it won't be ledger, i prefer a variety that supports only bitcoin and can be used air gapped.

Air gapp is a bit harder to use but much better security, I like it.

Electronics can disappoint you at any time, that's why it's advised to always have more backups(not necessarily one). The reason we browse effectively and have access to our data online everytime is because there are multiple backups across regions, so the failure of a single server doesn't mean total loss of data. Hardware wallet is just like a server to your Bitcoin and should've backups to access your Bitcoin in the event of one server(the physical device) being unresponsive.

Hardware wallet aren't server, i

He did not say it is a server, he said it is like a server and a single point of failure. He is correct.
