A quite relevant question, if one is invested in crypto currencies, is "How can I keep my crypto currencies safe in the long run?
There are different possibilities here; software wallets, storage on stock exchanges, storage on self-made paperwallets & hardware wallets.
I have secured my currencies for a long time with paperwallets, which I generated offline (if possible) and never stored them on an online capable computer. Smaller sums I also had in software wallets and stock exchanges, but my pulse was stirring every time I heard something about a stock exchange hack or a weakness within a wallet operator like myetherwallet. Last but not least an acquaintance of mine, who lost some of his crypto currencies due to a malicious software that spied out his information, motivated me to buy a hardware wallet. I was already more often with the thought to create such a wallet, but in former times there was mainly the Nano S and Trezor. Already at the first sight of the tiny display of the Nano S I said goodbye to the idea of ordering one.
But now there is the Nano X. Not quite as cheap as the S, but it does offer a better user experience. Larger screen, Bluetooth, more memory - the most important advantages for me. Now I've been carrying this decision around with me for a few days and finally made it the day before yesterday.
Why?
The Leger Nano X can be purchased with a 40% discount on the Ledger.com site. So you only pay 70 Euro for the piece instead of the original 120 Euro. I found it very attractive so that I can now count myself among the owners of such a piece.
And I recommend you to do the same. It is a different level of security and also reassuring that I have backed up all coins with the help of a seed and can use my ledger to execute transactions securely.
With the promocode "BLACKFRIDAY20" you will get a 40% discount on the Nano X (or the other models / bundles) at store.ledger.com I don't know how long this offer will last, but I would advise you to take advantage of it if you have been thinking about buying a hardware wallet for a while or every now and then.
