Part of getting into bitcoin is taking custody of your funds, if you have any meaningful amount of funds, you should consider getting a hardware wallet. I know some people think they can get away with hot wallets on their computer or phone and that's just bad opsec, you're leaving a trail to your funds and should be generating keys offline.
It may seem like an expense you don't want to make, but it's well worth it if you want to protect against breaches or your own mistakes.
If you're looking to store your bitcoin in cold storage but you're thinkng hardware wallets are way too pricey then you may want to look at Blockstream's Jade wallet.
This is a bitcoin-only hardware wallet, so no other chains are supported but it also has Liquid network support so you can store other Liquid assets like:
- L-BTC
- L-USDT
- L-CAD
If you so choose, but I hardly think anyone would want to store stable coins in a hardware wallet lol, but to each their own.
Key Features of Jade Hardware Wallet
Advanced Liquid asset support
Full-color screen with QR code support
Rate-limited, server-enforced PIN protection
More features will be enabled in the future through software updates, including:
Camera for fully air-gapped transactions
Hardware Wallet Interface (HWI) wallet support for compatibility with Bitcoin Core
Independent PIN server support
The Jade wallet retails for $ 45.99 + shipping.
I picked up one for myself, because I use the Liquid network regularly and with Core Lightning integration coming on Liquid I think it will be the ideal wallet for me.
I have not been happy with ledgers support as they spread themselves so thin trying to support every coin under the sun instead of improving their security and web services.
The Jade wallet can be used with multiple hot wallet interfaces so you're not held by ledger in a closed environment.
Get an extra 10% off
If you choose to pay in L-USDT which is Tether minted on the Liquid Network you can pick up a 10% discount. To acquire some L-USDT or rather pay the invoice using BTC pay server you can initiate the payment invoice on the site after you put in your shipping details
Once you have the liquid network invoice address, head over to shift.ai and select the swap service you prefer
Stable coin support is also available such as:
- BUSD
- USDT (ETH, AVX, BSC)
You could use your HBD using the @v4v app found here and swap HBD for BTC on Lightning and then use the LN to LUSDT swap to pay the invoice.
Swap your HBD for BTC on the lightning network
