    Awesome, I got the Tangem wallet a couple days ago. I truly think this wallet can bring self custody to greater masses. Probably not the mainstream, but for crypo fans. Its soooo easy and fun to use! I do most stuff correctly in this video but I dont have a hot wallet yet, and I still need to rent a bank safe for my backup Tangem card and probably need to get a metal wallet to be extra safe.

      Can your burner wallet be the same brand? Like a second Tangem? Essentially it’s a go-between for when you want to purchase something with your crypto? So what I’m gathering and I want to get clear is that if I’m purchasing crypto or tokens on an exchange it’s safe to transfer to my main wallet and keep it there. But if I wanna take Tokens from that and put it in my burner wallet that burner wallet is the one I use to transact for goods and services? Sorry I’m new-ish
      Thanks

      @@danacollins6386 Burner wallet should not have the majority of your crypto, just like a burner phone it is disposable. Yes you could use any wallet, even from the same company. With the burner wallet you can connect to smart contracts without having the fear of losing the funds in your main wallet. This would be like your checking account, which is separate from your savings account.

      Enter the wallet address of your cold wallet where you want to send the tokens. Double-check check the address is accurate to avoid losing your crypto.
      Step 5: Confirm Transaction:
      Review the transaction details, including fees.

    My question is that the hardware wallet manufacturers still have your private keys even though you have the seed phrase. So in an event of an EMP attack or an economic collapse,whats to stop them or the governmentor the issuerof the token from clawing back those same tokens? So doesnt that make software wallets the safest,because you and only you have the private keys? We are pretty close to that happening it would seem.

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  6 місяців тому

      This is not true. Hardware wallet manufacturers do NOT have your private keys. You generate a completely random key and seed phrase pair when you setup a wallet. This key is kept offline in the device.
      The exception is if you sign up for Ledger Recover. Then you are voluntarily sending shares of your private key to three separate companies.
      To answer your question: No, hot wallets are not safest. Cold wallets are.
