I'm looking at a Tangem but seeing some of those don't have a seed phrase. Would love to hear any experiences.

I only use cold card but I had ledger in the past and ledger is so simple a 10 year old can figure it out.

Cold card is a little more complicated but should be more secure than the others.

Same exact for me. Ledger is much more user friendly but I'm never touching my bitcoin so coldcard it is

I usually move a little between my cold card and coin base once every few months because i forget how to use.

How so?

I thought Ledger was a cold wallet, no?

I use an Arculus cold card. It’s pretty simple and looks just like a credit card, Bluetooth syncs to your phone.

I use a Tangem wallet. It does give you the option for a seed phrase

A seed phrase is not an option. If you don't have your seed phrase you will not have your crypto at some point.

If you multi sig you will probably frick it up. Practice first. I reccomend people buy two devices, that way they can "play" on one and use the other.


What's multi sig mean?

Does Cold Card come with an app to see balance or does it show BTC balance on the actual device?

Is having an app viewed as a security risk?
