Ledger CEO on 2024 Expectations, Future of Wallet Recovery Service

CoinDesk's Most Influential 2023 nominated 50 people who shaped the digital assets space this year, which includes Pascal Gauthier, CEO and chairman of crypto wallet maker Ledger. Gauthier joins "First Mover" to reflect on the launch of the Ledger Recover program that received criticism from some within the crypto sector and the state of hardware development in the industry.

No one in crypto likes Pascal.
I have two ledgers and I want my money back please

[@mephik]

I use mine to level the wobbly table.
That's about the most value I've gotten out of them.

What happen to stax

[@mephik]

You've become a bigger meme than the space itself.
How to jump the shark that's jumping the shark.
Sell swiss cheese security crypto wallets.

[@echto]

What a tool. Their existing user base is fleeing because of their decision to put a back door in the firmware. Used ledgers are for sale everywhere! Ledger is now the Roger Ver of hardware wallets - Untrusted.

Ledger screwed up with regards to recent hack and it is the CEO fault so he should resign.
The reason he won't answer is because he knows none uses it accept if your newbees and they losing big time to Trazor and other.

Good interview, Pascal held his own.

[@Nubiiiiiaaaaaaa]

He clearly doesn’t care, very passive shrug the shoulder goofy attitude. I was thinking of getting a ledger wallet, but now my decision is a hard no.

[@andrewlankes]

Trezor!

[@shirleysiu5958]

It is a miracle he still keeps his job after he made one of the most successful crypto companies into the most hated company.

The current Ledger CEO needs to leave. He is not the right person for the job. He does not understand BTC and continues to push his recovery product that no one wants. It is a horror to me to think this company can even think about doing this let alone actually do it. There is also the recent issue of a former employee still having access. Everyone using ledger should stop using ledger live immediately and do not update it. Migrate away from Ledger as soon as possible.

Lol wont talk about numbers because they know people dont want recover. Higher a new CEO this guy sucks.

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

maybe less than 1% put of 6.5 million opted for that recover

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

i was about to buy a Ledger Nano X in '21.
I'm glad i don't. Trezor and Keystone are better options. stay away from the Ledger.
