Hello Steemit/Dtube!
If you been around crypto currency for any period of time, then you have probably heard people talk about the importance of people keeping your funds secure more times than you can even count. We all know that in the wild west of crypto currencies, there is no "Customer Service Line" you can call if your private keys get stolen or lost.
A hardware wallet is generally considered to be one of the best ways to ensure your crypto funds stay secure.
I had kind of been putting it off until it really hit me a few months back that I am HUSTLING so hard towards my goals... that it would be such a shame if everything was lost due to my lack of preparation.
There was a few month waitlist for my Nano Ledger S, but it finally came in the mail today! In this video I do as full unboxing so you can get a close up of what the ledger looks like. I also discuss how the technology works, and bust a few myths around hardware wallets.
If you are interested in learning more about hardware wallets - how they work, the technology behind them, some of the major brands and what to look for - I highly recommend you watch this Video Post by @raised2b. (aka my sweetie) He is an IT professional and long time crypto investor/enthusiast and so he is a great person to learn from.
If you have not yet purchased a hardware wallet or developed some kind of long-term strategy for holding funds - I hope this video has encouraged you to start thinking about it! You don't want to be that person that loses everything just because they didn't plan ahead. Hardware wallets are extremely affordable and is worth every penny to make sure you can sleep at night - knowing your funds are safe!
Quick tip... It is generally advised to order directly from the company site - https://www.ledgerwallet.com/. There have been some rumors of counterfeits being sold on Amazon.
I am not an expert on hardware wallets, but if you have any questions - shoot them below and I will do my best to help!
xo, Lea
