What can a hardware wallet protect you from—and what can’t it protect you from?
First, a definition: if a hardware wallet breaks, that doesn’t mean your assets are lost. You can restore them on another compatible device using your recovery phrase.
How it works: a hardware wallet protects your private keys from being exposed online. But if you confirm a transaction on the device yourself, the device will still sign and send it.
$BTC , which people plan to hold for the long term, is often stored in a hardware wallet. Transfers are signed on the device. Current: 81760.01.
If you don’t understand something, it’s best to avoid it. Practicing with small amounts is safer.
