Worth it?

Are physical bitcoin wallets really worth getting? They might not be hacked. But they could be lost/stolen/burned down?

Yes, everyone should have a hardware wallet. It is only a matter of time before your funds get hacked without one.

You can destroy your hardware wallet and still keep access to your funds so long as you have written down your security words. You would just buy a new ledger and input your words.

What if the company goes under and you can't buy another one?

If you have >$1000 in crypto you'd be retarded not to buy one

Seems like it makes it easier for the feds to take my bitcoins. Paper wallet is the best option.

yeah, good luck getting hacked

your seed words can open your wallet from any other hardware wallet. so you can use a trezor if you had a ledger, etc.

What if I just have my private keys on a external HDD that is not connected to the Internet or a PC?

They all use common seed phrase to private key generation algorithms, so you can generate your keys in software if you wrote down your seed.

Yeah I'm thinking of just doing this.
