I have multiple cold storage options. I enjoy Tangem the most. It is just easy. I keep all long storage wallets inside a small fire proof bag, inside another fireproof bag, wrapped in fireproof ceramic sheets stuffed into a fireproof document safe, that sits in a fireproof gun safe with a external ceramic fire blanket around it. Once you lose everything to fire, you’ll understand how much is actually necessary to protect your assets from fire. It’s also a good idea to keep it against an outside wall so it is away from the most intense heat and if the house falls apart, you have a chance of your safe falling away from the fire.
That will STILL BURN in a house fire after a few hours. The only true protection is stampeding your seed phrase into steel. That will NOT burn in a house fire.
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
BUYER BEWARE. I need to return it because I loaned my crypto out. However, I have pay shipping fees to return to Hong Kong even though I bought it in the US. In short the cost to return is too expensive. WHAT A SCAM!!!
I don’t believe that if phone is hacked someone can open the wallet simply as if we want to access it we need the card to confirm . I am just guessing.
I have ledger nano x and a, first the Display from the S goes defect. This was easy to repair. But now from my preferred Ledger X the display dies slowly. For a hardwarewallet the quality must be better. All mergers are less then 3 years old. So a display can be a problem too...
wondering as you say if phone gets comprised if you think it maybe or as a best mesure should we before scanning the tandem wallet qr code, before we do that should we facctory reset our phone before activating tandom! and only like you say then use it for Tangem only?
Be careful I add my VERI tokens. Hid the token and then added it back in and I lost all my tokens. Its 20 VERI tokens and they are now work $500 when I bought them for 200 total
You fail to mention the cost of returning the cards to Tangem if something goes wrong. I purchased the Tangem Wallet 3 card set and found out that I could not use it because my phone does not have an NFC module. I was going to return the cards for a refund but found out that I would have to send the cards to a Hong Kong address and pay the postage myself. I'm in the US so I imagine postage to mail to a Hong Kong address would be really expensive.
I understand this can be frustrating. But honestly, I wouldn't say in your case that sometimes went wrong from Tangem sides. It's very clear that you need an NFC compatible phone. Other wallet providers wouldn't accept any return in this case, honestly. And if Tangem needs to be replaced due to a mistake or error from them, I am sure they will cover/refund the return label. 🙏
If you loose your phone you are screwed basically, isn’t it ? Easy is not always the answer, if a credit card can be copied by thief, why not the Tangem card?
Incorrect. The phone app does NOT hold any secure data: it's ALL held on the card. The app is just the GUI interface. Basically, the phone won't work without the card; & the card won't work without 'A' phone! Yes, you can change phones, & install Tangem onto it. Tangem has never been hacked. You can bet thieves have tried.
If you loose your phone you can simply use it on any other phone. You just need your card and pin. And in regards to thief. He needs also a card and pin before he can do anything. Or 2 cards.
Hi Melanie great video. I have a small question.. how do we see where we entered the pass word in the tangem app .. I remember entering one but now I don’t where it shows where to enter it.. I’m not linked out if my app or anything I’m just wondering in case I ever have I’m not locked out .. can you please help me
You can not see it, but need to enter it before a transaction will be confirmed. If you forgot your pin, you can create a new one. All you need is 2 cards to reset it.
Can you please clearify, if the tangem card only holds the private key or the cryptos as well.. i.e. if it's only holds the private key and the rest on mobile app then it shouldn't be counted as cold wallet isn't it?
I bought a 3card pack Tangem wallet, several months ago, and have never used it , not even unsealed it . Reason?! Yes a very expensive reason, it needs an NFC capable phone or tablet device to be of any use. In Africa, such a NFC capable phone costs over $400 to buy . Videos I watched before deciding to buy this Tangem wallet, all spoke about the pro's and the wallets supposed "cheap" price, BUT, not one video said that my android 13 operating system phone would NOT work !!! A friend of mine bought a far later Samsung Galaxy with much newer version of Android, and even his phone does not have NFC capable hardware. All videos I watched said "ANY phone of Android 6 and above" would work !? NOT true !!!! Next time I choose a Trezor or something else , but never a $500 plus cold wallet system !!! I feel cheated !!!!!!!!!
What are you talking about? Almost all smartphones have NFC, even phones from 10 years ago have NFC… Not sure where you live in Africa but you can definitely get a phone with it easily, whether it’s Samsung Galaxy or not. You have to be joking
Smartphones do get hacked. How can I keep that from happening? I might purchase a new phone but then I need to know how to keep it safe. Always something!
The safest way: Get a brand new phone any only use it for crypto. Do not download anything else apart from the legit wallet apps and do not interact with smart contracts.
Well, they only added the seedphrase option a couple of months ago. The old cards are not upgradeable. They told me, that they would work on the passphrase. But so far I only more and more shitcoins added to it
What happens if you start getting dimentia or suffering from alzheimers? Or if you get a concusion or go into a coma? What good will your seed phrase be then? It's absolutley ludicrous hearing all you people prosletize about the seed phrase without giving a second thought to the rammifications of your own mortality. Memorizing a personalized pin code or password is MUCH more natural than memorizing twelve words ffs.

Thank you for this insightful tips! Sounds like you already experienced a fire?
Prepared 👍
For a while, I thought you were joking.

How about not have a fire at all ?
I love my Tangem wallet. Super easy to set-up and use. I bought my wallet 5 months ago because of this channel.
Glad you like them!
Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
The variety of textures in the kislux pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.

Have not heard of anyone advising against using Tangem card… care to show your source of “many experts “ you’re quoting?
There are bunch of YTer. KryptoGang for example.
It’s just a clickbait title lol she mostly talks about the benefits of it. The concerns mentioned aren’t that big of a deal…
@@nickthecameraguysmartphone hacking isn’t a concern?
@@Lulu-kt6gryour question is too intelligent to be answered. Maybe ask on the tangem UA-cam channel?
She is quoting facts directly from Tangem and user experience.
All is true. I use and sell Tangem.
I like Tangem but the lack of DaPPs bothers me greatly......What gives why don't they get their chit together?
I get you! But stay patient, they are working on it.
I wonder who is paying her to trash Tangem? She has no clue...
Obviously you didn't watched the video

Yea I have 2 phone. I open my act on a buddy phone sent money removed app it's sweet
You've made this insightful so easy to understand as usual.
Glad to hear it!
They now have seed phrases, so that's huge if we lose our cards.
Never ledger
I 100% agree
In case of hacked phone you can keep your funds safe by setting up the fingerprint or face ID.
Of cause you can, but this doesnt eliminate the risk of confirming a fake transaction, due to lack of an extra screen
@@GoalFinancialFreedom
So would buying a new phone purely for tangem safer?
@@S734L7H1use and old phone that’s been wiped.
It's nothing to do with the phone.
They cannot hack your wallet.
I now have an eye-opening expiration of pros and cons
Happy if it helps! 🙂
Great content, thanks. 2FA would make it more attractive though.
Not having multiple addresses is a big put off for me.
Should be possible soon though
So, when you move crypto from an exchange to your Tangem, does that become a taxable event? Wouldn't it appear that you sold the crypto?
I don't know. ..but don't see how till it's sold.
Be careful I add my VERI tokens. Hid the token and then added it back in and I lost all my tokens. Its 20 VERI tokens and they are now work $500 when I bought them for 200 total
That's not possible. Check the blockchain
When they upgrade with multiple addresses, that will also be available to the current owners of tangem 2.0 cards? Thanks.
Yes!
@@GoalFinancialFreedom how do you know this? I ordered one today, but was wondering this. Also how long is delivery
My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.
Thanks for your honesty.
Hope it helps to make your decision.

Would be nice to have native stacking features instead of having to use wallet connect..
I totally agree! Will forward it to Tangem

What advantage of generating passprhase out of the wallet?

Wrong question
No wallet hold crypto
My access is denied, totally screwed, hate this wallet, I regret I bought it, nothing works as it should
Thanks

They need card and pin to get your money it's very safe
Thank you very much
If you have tandem can you buy crypto from different exchanges?
You can buy coins from any exchange and sent it to Tangem. No issue at all
Hi there ❤
I can't buy nft because opensea told me you using the wrong network !
How can I fix it?
By using the correct network?! 😬
This is not an objective review if you are being paid by Tangem
This is NOT paid by Tangem.
How do you get the discount then?@@GoalFinancialFreedom
@@GoalFinancialFreedomyou are still dumb
You're affiliating for Tangem.
People will do anything for views 😭.
I love Tangem, but you can not neglect the risks. ;)
Passphrases and better network connections have arrived with the latest software update and multiple addresses are on the way. 🎉
Thank you for sharing 😊
You miss guiding people with your title SMH
Great review. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info 👍
Any time!
The phone hacking really worries me. What about using a VPN?

I’ll pass Tangem. I’ll go for ledger
ain't personal freedom great.
It’s never been hacked? I heard.
No hacking news of the Tangem wallet found as of now!
I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
It means a lot. Thank you ❤
i think she has lost her mind .. i love mine
Just sent 28 xrp to my tangem wallet but only 18 was received… 🤔
Gas fee?
Usually 10 XRP are kept in any new XRP wallets
You are PERFECT
I have cryptos on Meta mask. Am i be able to take all my out to tangem?
Yes, Tangem supports all Cryptos from Metamask. :)
What happens if you lose or break your phone?
The phone just acts as the display for the wallet. Get another display.
Tangem is terrible iphone15 max doesn’t work with Tangem
Is the money you pay a monthly fee?
No it’s just the cost of the card, one time
Only buy the wallet one time. No recurring fees
Tangem sucks if you travel and lose your card or all your back up cards are destroyed. It is not that hard to memorize a 12 word key with passphrase.
Variety is Good
That's why they leave it up to you if you prefer to have your seedphrase or not.
Well, they only added the seedphrase option a couple of months ago. The old cards are not upgradeable.
They told me, that they would work on the passphrase. But so far I only more and more shitcoins added to it
@@CardSharkGermanyI wish I could only buy the old version card.
What happens if you start getting dimentia or suffering from alzheimers? Or if you get a concusion or go into a coma? What good will your seed phrase be then? It's absolutley ludicrous hearing all you people prosletize about the seed phrase without giving a second thought to the rammifications of your own mortality. Memorizing a personalized pin code or password is MUCH more natural than memorizing twelve words ffs.
TANGEM IN THE TRASH! I ALMOST LOST ALL MY CRYPTO! LEDGER AND NOTHING ELSE
Do you care to explain lol
it is open source.
only the app is open source, not the cards
Not open source, so it’s a no
Only the security chip because its secure so they cant reveal the security secrets lol
Is it possible to hack tangem?
Never happened i think
For the first 20-30 seconds, you sounded like that passive aggressive ex-girlfriend😀
You are amazing, but not really!
😳 first time I had a comment like that 😅🙈
I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux
It might be made in china which is a huge security risk.
Don't fall for America's narrative of talking down china, whatever they tell you the opposite is true.
