Ngrave as a storage vault. 3 Pro as a trading alt app but not built for serious long term use. Ngrave is.
Hi Alex what do you think about about the ballet steel wallet?
Honestly: I don't get why hardly anyone talks or looks into the Ngrave wallet with its EAL7 security level.
@@shootyourshot_CR Why would someone need EAL7? Ngrave is overpriced
How abt keystone 3 pro?
Just found your channel. Clear, concise, unbiased information given calmly without all the drama. So thank you, I have subscribed. 👍 (plus, you answered my question/comment below, very quickly.
Hey thank you! Happy to answer any questions/concerns if more arise. - Alex
Great video by the way brother. Thank you for it .
Hey I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for featuring us🥰 Awesome content as usual!
Thank you 🙏
@@cyberscrilla what would happen if a hot wallet supported by keystone were to somehow crash? Would i lose my crypto?
Idk if keystone will see the comment themselves, just interested in what the answer is
@@Keags187 You would not lose your crypto. Crypto isn’t stored in your wallet, it’s stored on the blockchain. Your wallet holds your private key which is used to access your address on the blockchain. This is true for any self custodial wallet (hot and cold). As long as you have your seed phrase you have access to your crypto. - Alex
@@cyberscrilla Ok thanks for the quick reply 👍 keep up the great content, very informative video👌
This was a great video! Some awesome wallets I did not know about. Been a Ledger lover for the past years, they have failed too many times and just picked up a Trezor Safe 3. I like the OneKey Classic and BCVAULT too they look cool! Subbed, cheers!
Thank you! You’ll like the Safe 3. Glad you’re getting away from Ledger! Enjoy!
@@cyberscrillahey man, could you explain whether the Keystone 3 pro could experience the same fate like what just happened to Ledger? Since you said in your video with Keystone we MUST connect it to hot wallet(s)
@@randyra88 what happened with ledger did not directly affect their wallets. It affected decentralized applications. Any wallet is susceptible to that if you connect your wallet to a malicious website. To answer your question, the hot wallet integration DOES NOT affect security of the K3P. Your keys are still stored on the Keystone device (not in the hot wallets).
@@cyberscrilla i watched several of the videos. Seems like you wouldn't recommend Ledger, is it fair to say so? right now I am a bit divided because on one hand Ledger has failed so many times that I want to move away from it, but it still offers the easiest way to stake Solana in my experience : it can stake Solana directly from the native app Ledger Live, without having to connect to external hot wallet. But do you know other hardware wallet that offer this much ease in staking Solana? Much appreciated my man.
I recently returned to my ledger from my keystone even though we have all the scandals with ledger, I still feel that it's the more durable option
thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Thanks brother.
Thanks for watching!
Nice comprehensive review.
Thanks!
Thanks for introducing me to Tangem. I just placed my order using your link as a gesture of appreciation.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it! - Alex
@@cyberscrillaI just have one question which some people raise. It’s not a concern right that my cold wallet doesn’t have a screen to verify the address?
@@tihanhaider9811 this can be a concern. But if you are using the official Tangem app, the risk of compromise is removed. Tangem advises users to prioritize their digital hygiene by maintaining a secure device environment, running the most up-to-date version of their mobile device's OS, and downloading apps only from official sources. The official Tangem app is open-source and its code is available on GitHub. This means anyone can check it out and verify that there is no backdoors and vulnerabilities, if they have some basic tech-knowledge of course. Appart from that, both Tangem app and Tangem firmware of the cards were audited by 2 most reputable audit companies - Kudelski Security and Riscure (this once was released just few days ago btw), which proves that there is no risk for attacks and backdors for Tangem Wallet.
Good info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Thank you for your support 🙏
Thanks for sharing! How do you feel about Ledger?
I don’t recommend Ledger. There are better alternatives such as Onekey and Trezor.
@@cyberscrilla why is that? I own one but I’m thinking about switching
@MrSwaggerking13 for me, there have been too many red flags and mistakes on their end that have put their customers at risk. I talk more about it in this video: kzhead.info/sun/jMmkqamib4aLdIU/bejne.htmlsi=9cbwOxb7GU25MTg8
Hey Buddy, thanks for greqt videl. Is VC vault open source by the way?
Thanks for watching!! And BC Vault is not open source! Great question I forgot to cover that - Alex
@@cyberscrilla Was actually Interested in buying one, but Not open source, No transparent... Thanks for your quick reply 😉
@@palogom4596 You got it :) Id recommend the Keystone 3 Pro if you want a completely open source option with ample security features. - Alex
I really like the security of the bc vault, I currently have xumm tangem cards for xrp and they work great but looking to get another device other than ellipal or ledger!
I’d recommend Trezor for sure!
Wow got the gunmetal limited edition bcvault from your link! Sweet deal!
Gunmetal is awesome! Thanks for your support
Trezor Model T also allowed for the 25th word or the pass phrase so you can have a regular wallet with the 24 words and another wallet with the extra pass phrase.
This! 👍
Foundation Passport would have been a good one worth reviewing.
Don’t worry. I still have a bunch of individual wallet reviews coming up! These are just my 5 personal favorites - Alex
hello, first i want to thank you for the video, it's quite useful. I am a newbie here, I am thinking of having only BTC mostly for storage. Which wallet do you recommend? I know you mention it's complicated, but I am somehow leaning toward BCVault
If you’re a newbie I’d recommend the Trezor Safe 3. You can download the Bitcoin-only firmware on the device offered directly from Trezor. The reason I recommend the safe 3 is because it’s very user friendly. BCVault is good, but a bit more complicated - Alex
Also the bc ... The main coins are ok to manage . But if you safe erc 20 or solana ecosystem tokens then gets shitty. Balances do not show sometimes ...and transactions get stuck if you want to take coins out of the wallet
Just used your code for a Safe 3 :] I knew there had to be a coupon out there even though Trezor says there are non on Twitter lol
😂 thanks! They have a weird policy about sharing codes. I can only share it in the actual video and comments section.
Excellent report. Personally, I avoid wallets that have a battery, since they fail sooner or later (I've had a few MP3 players and smart bracelets fail after 5 to 8 years due to the battery). I'm trying to decide between the Tangem (25+ years sounds good, plus easy to hide the backup cards) and the Trezor Safe 3 (Shamir backup & secure chip are a big plus over the Model One).
Yeah. The ellipal for example... After 2 transactions Battery dies on you . Shame
@anticharlaton5823 Thank you! And that’s fair. Fortunately even if a wallet battery fails you can still recover your crypto using the seed phrase. Some wallets will still continue to work even once the battery fails (just have to plug it in). But I’m with you. Less hardware to potentially fail the better. If you’re looking for convenience and basic security go with Tangem. If you want additional security options and open source code, go with Trezor. - Alex
@MS-do6ef Ouch
I've never had a cold storage wallet and I think I might go for the Tangem wallet myself.
@@Solo6R Tangem is an excellent choice if you’re new to cold wallets. 👍
After seeing thumbnail instant sub and like 😂
😂 Thank you
Decent (If you know you know) Trezor (in combination with Exodus) Jade (Bitcoin & LBTC Only)
Great choices!
Great video im new to crypto and have learned quite a lot from your videos
Glad to hear that. Thank you for watching!
Tangem is King. I am very satisfied with the product and app.
Tangem is REALLY good
great video, do you know if these interact well with metamask for storing nft's and gaming crypto coins?
All of them except Tangem and BCVault connect with metamask and can store NFTs and all erc-20 tokens
Multisig (2/3 or 3/5) + Airgapped hardware wallet (Coldcard, Jade,...) what I would recommend to secure.
Those are great wallets. But they are bitcoin-only
@@cyberscrilla That's correct, offcourse if you own altcoins then they should use the recommend devices from your video.
@@TheParaSIET100% thanks for the recommendations 👍
I am new in crypto, and I have been studying the wallets for the last few days. Pretty much in all the hardware wallets, the private key is in the secure chip, but in order to approve the transaction, the operating system of the wallet must interact with the secure chip to process the approval, that mean the wallet os can reach the private key and I think since the OS is developed by the wallet company if they want they can see the seed phrase with the help of OS. Now, if you say it requires your approval, I mean it's not a big deal to get it, I mean, if they want, they can do a firmware update and during the process you approve the update the wallet company "if they want ofcourse" can retrieve the seed phrase. So, there is a level of trust in all wallets.
You’re right. There’s always at least some level of trust. This is why many prefer open source firmware/hardware over closed source. That way we know for sure there are no vulnerabilities or backdoors. - Alex
@cyberscrilla thank you for the reply! So, with the open source code, the vendor can't retrieve the seed phrase from the device if they want to? If yes, could you please tell how.
@dynamicroutes all open source code does is allows anyone to view the code. Therefore if there was some kind of backdoor that allowed the manufacturer to export your private key, the general public could see it
@@cyberscrilla 🥰
What about if you use a passphrase. The company can get that too?? Since the passphrase is saved on the device too?? Great question men
Hi cyber, I’m curious. Were you sponsored some wallets in the video or was this all purchased on your own unbiased? Thanks
All my reviews are unbiased and my own. I can say whatever I want about any wallet as I am not “sponsored” by anyone. I receive most the wallets I review for free. But again, these are my own thoughts and opinions and my HONEST list of the best cold wallets I put A LOT of thought into this list I made. I’ve been thinking about it for months actually. - Alex
I have the BC Vault which I bought back in 2020 and I've been happy with it every since. I like the feature where you can sell your crypto from your wallet instead of sending the coins to the exchange and than sell it.
Great feedback! Thanks for sharing your experience Marcus
in regards to the BC Vault, and that it supports any crypto imaginable that is out, can you tell me if every crypto that is out for sale has a network to transfer it on? I have noticed that some cryptos on Uphold as an example, do not have any network to transfer out on should you buy it. Are you able to buy and sell crypto on that BC Vault wallet for those situations? And yes, I have limited knowledge about this, but do want to buy a cold wallet that allows me to not only store crypto on, but also buy, sell and stake as well. Do any in this top 5 list meet those requirements? So often i hear people say that they allowed blind transactions on their device and somehow their crypto came up missing. Can you explain this in a future video as well? Thanks and just joined your videos.
Well that's weird. He hearted your comment but didn't answer your question.
This was a loaded question I overlooked. Definitely worth doing your own research before buying ANY wallet to answer such questions.
Question about the Keystone 3.. if there is hot wallet connectivity with the device… how safe it really is?! Because metamask is known for its bad security problems… and my other question is … can we use OKX if it’s banned in our country? Thanks for those great videos!
The K3P still secures your private key and is needed to approved transactions. So it’s completely secure. The hot wallets are only used to initiate transactions. Nothing more. And no, if a wallet is banned in your country you can’t use it. - Alex
@@cyberscrilla I thought because it was a web 3 wallet a could use it… ok then thanks you for you knowledge and keep the good work!
Hey brother, thank you for this video. I'm curious your view on 2 things. -First, I bought BC Vault a few years back after hearing glowing reviews on it. Now when I check people's top choices for wallets, NO ONE is mentioning BC Vault anymore. Your vid is the only one I can find that does. Why do you think that is? The only sense I can make is, BC Vault isn't padding people's pockets like other brands so "influencers" aren't being bought off? -Also... Is it good to have multiple wallets for safety / redundancy? I hear some people do but no one talks about why they have multiples. If yes, should I get another BC Vault, or a different brand (like Trezor Safe 3)? Or does it even matter? Thanks again man, subbed!
Thanks for watching! Honestly, I think BCvault isn’t as user friendly as other wallets mainly due to its sd card/paper qr backup method which is untraditional in the hardware wallet industry. Assuming another brand of wallet fits your needs (coin support, security, compatibility, etc) I think it’s worth trying another brand of wallet. You might like it. And yes, it’s not a bad idea to diversify funds across various wallets.
Hello, do you recomend to buy Trezor One if i have no budget for model T or 3 ? Thanks
Trezor one is good but it does lack some key features the Safe 3 offers (secure element chip and the ability to enter your passphrase on the device) The Safe 3 is only $10 more than the Model One though. If you use our discount code “CYBERSCRILLA” you’ll get 8% off too. Otherwise, Model One is great - Alex
@@cyberscrilla thank you for your answer, i appreciate it 👏🏽🙏🏽
@@CryptoCroko you’re welcome, thanks for watching the video! - Alex
I wish tandem would change that thing on the screen where they said tap the card it took me like 15 minutes to get that thing together because I was tapping they should say hold the card to the back of the phone it will not work if you tap
Hi, I really pray you see this and reply. Please which cold wallet is the best when it comes to saving of USDT ONLY amongst others regardless of the price.
Hey Janet. Best is subjective. What are you looking for in a wallet exactly? Personally, I believe security and user-friendliness are the two most important factors when choosing a hardware wallet. Also, which network is the USDT on that you want to store? It’s important to confirm the wallet you buy supports the network you use. Personally I’d use Trezor Safe 3. OR if you’re completely new to wallets and aren’t super tech savvy, I’d go with Tangem. Happy to help if you have any more questions. - Alex
What’s a better hardware wallet; keystone 3 pro or Trezor Model T?
Depends on your wants. Trezor Safe 3 is more user friendly (and plenty secure). Keystone 3 Pro is less user friendly but offers more security features if you want those (3 secure elements, air gap mode etc) Both are secure options though. - Alex
Bought trezor safe 3 .. really like it ... Simple to use and straight forward. I really wish they support Solana soon
Right? Super simple. I still don’t understand why they don’t support Solana
Do you have connection with them to ask that question?
The trezor wallet model T now supports Solana as of a week ago. So the updated version should also.
@@amenlion88 this
you can connect the exodus wallet and support even more fyi
You remind me of someone that used to work at a company near Houston, Texas called GB BioSciences.
I’ve been to Texas once. Never worked there though 😆
Great suggestions and video! Safe 3 Code voucher doesn't seem to work, can you confirm if the voucher is still active?
Thank you! It’s still active. Must be all caps: CYBERSCRILLA Lmk if it works for you.
It worked, thanks so much @@cyberscrilla
Ellipal too... I had many erc 20 tokens stuck because transaction failures and is hard to fix and eats your eth away. Same thing in bc vault.
Wonder why transactions would get stuck? I’d imagine this would be a blockchain issue not specifically wallet related?
Junky Chinese… stuck sending out? I use Eli and Ledger……😅😅😅
Throw that Ledger wallet away 😂
I dumped Ledger and Trezor, both were hacked. Bought BC Vault - My experience with BC Vault has been great
Nice!
Someone stole your funds?
This was a comment that I hoped to see. Three weeks ago, I converted BTC to ETH on my Ledger Desktop Live using their "swap" CIC function, and I definitely made sure I had followed all steps carefully as I have owning the Ledger Nano-X device for months now. I was hacked six hours later from receiving my ETH off the swap, nearly $3,000 gone. I had always been extremely careful never to expose my seed phrase, kept everything securely offline, I don't believe that I had "blind-signed" anything, and yet Ledger Support was of no use. So now, I too am shopping around for other cold wallet options and seem geared towards both Tangem and Keystone 3 Pro, before cleaning up and resetting my Ledger Nano-X device completely. I am searching for a cold wallet as a "third base" solely to send, receive and storage ---- never having it connected to any website as possible. I so am glad to had came across this video review, it gave me some ideas to consider even though I am willing to take some extra steps in the name of SECURITY!! Thanks! @cyberscrilla 😎👍
@@Barbwire710 Don''t believe each and every one.
My number one pick of my top 20 is BitBox
Nice! You’ve tested 20 wallets? Impressive! Why is it your favorite?

So with Tangem you only use it with your phone? No laptop /web access? I’m still new to this stuff.
Tangem is a mobile only wallet.
can KeyStone 3 pro switch deriviation path to Legacy in metamask or rabby wallet?
Honestly. I’m not sure. I don’t think so.
Which wallets are from outside EU since new regulation is on the way through May kyc will be part of new updates looking for alternatives from outside
Are you asking which wallets are NOT manufactured in EU?
@@cyberscrilla exactly i just bought a keystone through your link thank you very much for this content.
I’ll go with the credit card one. Cheap enough, gets the job done. The other ones imo if you don’t have big big money in crypto then is just too much.
Tangem is VERY convenient and still secure 👍
i owned OneKey hardware wallet, and it seems the Dekstop apps is laggy. should i buy trezor model 3 or bcvault ?
It could be a computer issue or maybe you need to update the app? I haven’t experienced that personally. Safe 3 and BCVault are two COMPLETELY different wallets. I only recommend BCVAULT for advanced users. Safe 3 is more user friendly in my experience - Alex
Great content....Im waiting for the Tangem Ring to be launched next year...i will buy that...
Tangem ring is going to be AWESOME!

I’ll make a video when there’s something to talk about besides speculation. I’ve been accumulating more during these dips personally. A lot more. Don’t worry I’ll keep everyone posted as more official developments are released
As a newcomer with limited knowledge of the industry and wallet technology, would you recommend me to buy a hardware wallet? Which one should I buy?
Tangem is by far the most user friendly in my experience. If you’re a complete beginner, that’s what I’d recommend
@@cyberscrilla thanks mate, how do you like the keystone 3 pro? it looks good with the big screen and fingerprint verification feels more safer.
@@fivestarcritic K3P is great. Ton of security features. But I don’t recommend it for beginners.
Definitely Keystone. HUGE screen and enought time for you to read all txn details to avoid human-error.
@@cyberscrillaI’m keen on both the Tangem and Keystone 3 Pro.
We have BC Vault and we love it. We don’t plan to spend our Bitcoin so for us security is the most important factor.
Nice! Good choice then for sure
I am a total newbie and own no crypto, i decided a good idea to buy some bitcoin when it was $8,000+ but had no wallet or idea how to buy any, so your video is awesome, and I will buy a Trezor for my cold wallet now. Q can you buy Tangem wallet and use it as your daily transaction hot wallet in a store accepting bitcoin as payments ( thinking of future), and Trezor as your storage hot wallet? Your video includes Tangem as 1 of 5 best cold wallets. Sorry if this is a dumb question…
Thanks for watching. A couple things. 1. You should have one main wallet to use for cold storage. This wallet should never be used to connect to anything like dapps. Only hold, send, and receive crypto in it. Trezor would work great for this. 2. Have a separate burner wallet you use to interact online (this could be a hot or cold wallet) that doesn’t have a lot of your crypto stored on it. Just whatever you need to transact. 3. Tangem can’t be used to buy stuff at a store. They have partnered with Visa to release such a wallet, but it won’t come out until 2025 (maybe). I suggest watching this video that helps explain how to properly store your crypto. kzhead.info/sun/mdKAhJiNZ5WHa2g/bejne.htmlsi=zt5y_PXOxpt6VfuP - Alex
@@cyberscrilla Thank you for your reply and the link! What burner wallets do you recommend?
@@tomhouston7863 Any wallet can be a burned wallet. Depends what coins you hold 👍
I am planning to store them on a cold wallet..but how long does it take to transfer coins from the cold wallet back into an exchange if I want to sell them urgently, owing to a sudden short lived spike? Is it possible for the transfer to take long and can we possibly lose money if the spike is short lived? and we can't get the coins on exchange before time
Crypto transfers occur in a matter of seconds in most cases. And you don’t have to get tokens on an exchange to take profit. You can use use a DEX to convert to a stable coin, then transfer whenever you want
Trezor Model T ❤
Just about to release a video on the model T :)
Hi, is the Ellipal Titan a good wallet ?
The Titan 2.0 is fine. I like they Keystone 3 Pro too
tangem 2 is simpliest, fit in regular wallet, yet secure enough, no batteries, cables, just a cell phone and internet connection what else could user need!?
By far the most user friendly wallet on the market!
@@cyberscrilla so true!
Why is Tangem mentioned and reviewed so much lately but no one mentions Arculus anymore? Arculus was here first. Is this about hype? Or quality safety and security?
Not sure. I’ve never used arculus so I can’t comment on its quality or user experience.

Idk if I will. I think it’s an overpriced turd
@@cyberscrilla It has the highest security certification out of the lot EAL-7 so that's a bit harsh.
@@james-br2gm EAL6 is more than secure enough and found in most wallets. I’m not paying an extra $300 for that personally. And the EAL7 certification doesn’t apply to the secure element, which is still EAL5+. The EAL7 certification applies to the secure operating system that is entrusted with all secure operations: firmware upgrades, device security (PIN code encryption, fingerprint, anti-tampering) and coin management (addresses, transactions). To each their own. I don’t think it’s necessary
Very bad experience with Ngrave.I sent it back.Stay away.Overpriced for no reason.

Thanks man! I dumped Ledger X and S away and got myself Safepal S1 (stored coins), Trezor Safe S3 (stored coins) and Onekey Classic (daily transactions) after watched your review, now considering Keystone 3 Pro as backup, what is your opinion my friend?
Awesome! Glad to hear you got out of Ledger! Sounds like you have a pretty nice lineup of wallets already. But the 3 Pro has a ton of security features if you’re into that. Definitely worth it if you are in the market for another wallet Just remember it’s not as user friendly as your current wallets. - Alex

hi sir features I'm looking for lowest fee on usdt transfer and easily xmr send receive and exchange which one ur suggest ?
Transfer fees aren’t determined by the wallet. Those are blockchain based fees and are unaffected by the wallet you use. As far as a wallet that supports sending, receiving and exchanging XMR I’d go with Trezor Safe 3. It doesn’t support XMR natively in the Trezor Suite app, but you can connect the device to Exodus and manage it there - Alex
For sending to Mexico I'm sure

On the BC Vault the private keys are hidden in the device. Can you explain why this is a good feature or not?
Well that’s the case for all cold wallets, at least storing the private key on the device. That’s what makes cold wallets secure. You can still export the raw private key from your BCVault wallet, but the app will just mark that wallet as not secure (which is purely a cosmetic marker it doesnt change the functionality of the wallet).
Thanks for clarifying that. When you say the app will mark that wallet what does that actually mean? If I revealed the keys would that compromise the security of the device?@@cyberscrilla
When you say the app will mark the wallet as not secure, what does that actually mean? Will the device be any less secure for revealing the keys?@@cyberscrilla
just got the jade have not put anything on it yet testing things getting used to it.....i noticed it has a battery in it so if i put it in a place for 10 years the battery will go bad and destroy it unlike my nano s that has no battery i know they all need updates i am tired of ledger now with yet another hack....i dont want to use the qr code air gap i dont like the idea of a house fire buring the qr code etc
Jade is great for storing Bitcoin. As far as the battery goes. As long as you have your recovery phrase you don’t have to worry about losing your funds at least. But like you said, it’s nice not having to worry about your battery falling nonetheless. Also, Tangem does not require updates. You only have to update the app ;) Glad you got out of Ledger. - Alex
Can you review keevo wallet ?
I've got a phone that is 2 yrs old is a Samsung. It doesn't say it has NFC but does have Quick Share. Is that compatible with Tangem?
Quick Share is not NFC. You need an NFC compatible phone for Tangem. If you have a desktop computer I suggest you check out Cypherock. Similar to Tangem but comes with its own NFC compatible device. Here’s my review: kzhead.info/sun/fs2Biq2qfmaYl6M/bejne.htmlsi=HfjGB7_eEF1j0g_E

They are outdated, support minimal currencies, less convenient, and can easily be destroyed. IMO
If you choose the option to not use a seed phrase how would tangem replace you cards and allow you access if they break?
Tangem nor anyone else would be able to give you access to your crypto. They could simply provide you with new cards. Tangem recommends transferring assets to a new wallet if you only have 1 card left for example. Personally, i recommend always choosing the seed phrase option so you don’t have to worry so much about losing access to crypto
I see you did not cover ellipal. Why it was not a top 5? Just curious
Because I feel the ones I covered are better. Simple as that tbh

your thoughts on Arculus?
Never tried it tbh
18:42 Well said, man. I don't understand why people are concerned about how it is made in China when your social media is actually collecting your info anyway. That kind of thinking really needs to stop. After checking out your review, I'm locked down to either Tangem or Keystone Pro 3. I'm more geared towards the latter atm. I do prefer the Tangem having its own app though. Once again, thank you for such a great review!
Thanks you. And seriously! As for Tangem vs Trezor. They both have their own app. It’s just a matter of mobile vs desktop. Here are some things to consider: - Tangem is more convenient - It’s firmware is closed source - Trezor isn’t as convenient (but it’s still beginner friendly) - it’s 100% open source Actually, I have a video directly comparing the two if you haven’t already seen it.

Should I have a VPN for my phone to keep it extra safe?
Up to you. I’d research best security practices for phones. Also, this video might help a bit: kzhead.info/sun/hMiBgqmErqx5dKM/bejne.htmlsi=qBoU_VtusGBA3omk
i like my onekey classic for size and price
Yes, the Onekey Classic is… well, Classic!
Bc vault was a good wallet to me .... 2 + years and still kicking.... But i will not use it anymore. With no seed phrase you are forced to have extra device in order to get to your private keys
I have been buying BTC through PayPal. I am just learning about these "cold wallets". Once I get a wallet is there a way to get my BTC off PayPal and on to my cold wallet? Thanks! Also, I am gathering by the comments that I should stay away fro Ledger . . . am I reading that right? Thanks again.
Please get your BTC off PayPal asap! You can do so by following their steps: 1. Go to the Finances tab. 2. Tap your crypto balance. 3. Tap the transfer arrows. 4. Tap Send. 5. Select the contact you want to send crypto to. 6. You'll need to enter an external crypto address if you want to transfer cryptocurrency out of your account (your wallet’s public BTC address) And correct, stay away from Ledger. For Bitcoin is probably go with Trezor considering it’s your first wallet.
@@cyberscrilla Thank you for responding. I will get the Trezor 3.
Enjoy! - Alex
A question, how much usually the transaction fees ?
Transaction fees are set by the blockchain network and depends on its congestion at the time of the transaction. It has nothing to do with the wallet you use
have you ever tried an ELLIPAL?
Yep, just talked about it in my new video. Best Air Gapped Hardware Wallets for 2024! kzhead.info/sun/espxn7p6b4SFlIk/bejne.html
Can I put my OneKey Classic wallet seed phrase into the new OneKey Classic 1S?
Yes you can
Can I keep the same wallet on both devices at the same time?
@@dolomatt19 Yes!
Hi Alex! The new Ledger feature for seed recovery seems to have raised concerns about its security in terms of self-custody. As far as I understand, hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor have the capability to generate multiple private keys. So, if I generate a private key to store my crypto on Ledger and then recover that private key using a different brand device like Tangem, would the original private key generated on Ledger remain secure, disregarding the 'seed recovery feature'? This has been a lingering doubt for me. Could you please clarify this for me? Thank you sir
Yep. You can import your seed phrase (private keys are different) into any wallet and be okay. Like you said, you can generate a seed phrase on Ledger, and also import it into Trezor, Tangem, and any other wallet you’d like.
Thank you Alex!@@cyberscrilla
Seed recovery feature is only. Only YOU can opt in for the recovery. They do not store your seed unless you've given permission. Otherwise, Ledger has no clue what the seed phrases are.
Thx bro@@rockysivilay
Good overview, but i like ellipal and ledger and dcent. I like closed source above open source.
Everyone can have their own opinion. In my experience, testing, and research these are my top 5 👍
Why you like closed source? Isn't it more dangerous that way?
@@MS-do6ef Open source doesn’t mean more secure. Open source firmware equals transparency and adaptability by allowing community scrutiny, but it may be vulnerable if not maintained. Closed source firmware offers better security control (generally) but lacks transparency and limits customization, relying on the manufacturer for updates
Ellipal and ledger are trash got several of both, dont use anymore. MK4 and Jade are better both are HD wallets. Open source is always better. The banks/govt are closed sourced.
@@cyberscrillaClosed sourced in this case means you can't truly confirm that it will do what it says with no back doors.
Tangem should make a card scanner that is PC compatible?
Maybe. There’s wallets that have that. Illl be dropping a review of a wallet that has exactly what you’re talking about soon
Tangem 2. Not only secure but its ease of use means little chance of making a mistake. Most cryptos are lost by user mistakes not by being hacked.
THIS!! Agree with you 100%
@@cyberscrilla not tangem imo, their app is a pretty big attack vector as you don't 100% know what you're confirming your key with, while with Keystone, the most secure wallet also can view transactions.
This is what scares me the most tbh
Can i have more than 3 tangem backup cards or the maximum is 3 ?
The maximum is 3 cards per 1 private key. If you plan on creating a wallet with a seed phrase, of course you’re seed phrase will be a backup too which you can import into any wallet. - Alex
Ok Thanks!! fast fast response.
You’re welcome Kevin!
Have you ever tried the ellipal mini?
Yep I have the Ellipal mini 👍
@@cyberscrilla is it worth buying? Fairly easy to use?
@@TheMarky26 Somewhat easy to use yeah. It is airgapped though so you have to use the camera to initiate transactions by scanning qr codes. It also lacks a secure element chip. I prefer the Safe 3 over it personally, but it depends on what you’re looking for.
@@cyberscrilla honestly I only short term trade most of my crypto so it stays on exchanges..I would only need it for my eth, btc and maybe one or 2 large caps I'm keeping long term..
I like the Trezor/Safe 3 better. It’ll be more user friendly too
Quick question. If I open a new wallet and it comes with bitcoins in it, that means i have successfully mined bitcoins right? They are mine?
No. Unless you have the keys to manage it and do whatever you want, it’s not your crypto.
@@cyberscrilla okay. So it is mine. That's pretty cool. I wonder how often that happens.
Does anyone know, when using Tangem, why do some transactions not show as a Normal Transfer, but rather get lost as an INTERNAL TRANSACTION?
Internal transactions are transfers that are completed between two smart contracts and don’t appear directly on the blockchain. So they might not be displayed accurately in different wallets like Tangem. You’re likely seeing this if transferring from a centralized exchange like Coinbase to Tangem for example
Thank you,@@cyberscrilla Do you know how to avoid the smart contract (internal) transfers when sending from Coinbase?
Have you reviewed the D'CENT Biometric Wallet?
No I have it, but still need to give it a solid review
@@cyberscrilla On its face, it looks like a decent wallet, but I’d love to hear from someone who’s used it. How many cold wallets do you have?
@@mariexichen1136 Dozens! I’ll try to review it asap
@@cyberscrilla LOL❗️
Can you please always disclose where each wallet is manufactured. It’s worth considering the impact of potential bad actors if you hold substantial worth on wallets
Bad actors?
Er…. Organisations/countries that like to use technology to steal crypto etc
@cyberscrilla yes, bad coorperations who will be behind the world citizenship after the Telecom outage for the reset.
Please provide any proof that a hardware wallet company in China (like Keystone) steals crypto. You won’t find any

Guys, what's the best exchange to start with 4 beginners if you live in the US just to buy bitcoin?
