    so can I just create a blue wallet from these seed words and grab the adress and then delete the blue wallet and keep sending btc to that adress and when it's time to withdraw I can just get the words from my cold wallet and recover/restore wallet to get access to my bitcoin? just use the cold card to store my seed phrase. I don't have any computer

    Have you had your cold card brick up? Mine has done it twice before I got PIN number set. Is this a reliable hard wallet or not?

    Is this a good beginners hardware? I have my btc on coinbase and want to safely get out

      Not the best for beginners. But, if you don’t mind the learning curve, go for it!

      Use Trezor and get it out of exchanges.

    Hey there. Thank you so much for your awesome videos. I am new to the bitcoin world and your videos are super helpful. If I may ask one question though, I don't understand how the coldcard 'back up' works. Do you have to have your coldcard backed up in a separate SD card to recover your bitcoin in case the coldcard gets damaged/stolen? Or is having a seed words written down on a paper enough to retrieve your bitcoin?

    • @SouthernBitcoiner

      Having the words written down is enough to back up your bitcoin.
      Those words are all you would ever need to access bitcoin. If your ColdCard breaks you can use the words to get your bitcoin back.

      You are the best! I am downloading the bitcoin core full node following your instruction, which is super slow but wish me luck! @@SouthernBitcoiner

    So wait a second: the Cold Card with the seed is protected only by a PIN that has at the most only 12 digits? 12 digits is a very weak PIN for what it's protecting.
    Edit: OK now I see that it only allows 13 tries.
