Hardware Wallets | Easy and Secure Cold Storage

hardware wallets
Hardware wallets are specialised devices to setup secure cold storage or sign for multisig.

Hardware wallets are specialised devices to make cold storage (?) for your bitcoins easy and secure. The private keys (?) are always created, stored and used offline, which makes hacking theoretically extremely hard, but practically impossible. Private data will always be handled securely in the offline environment, while public data like signed transactions can be transmitted to an online device. A hardware wallet is the best cold storage solution for 99% of the people. It doesn’t require technical knowledge or skills.

Hardware devices can also be used as signing devices for multisig. This means that multiple devices will be registered in a multisig wallet to create one single multisig address. A pre-set part of those devices have to sign to make a transaction. The point of multisig is to share the risk for your Bitcoin stack over multiple keys, instead of being dependent on only one private key. Hardware wallets are super safe, if you add multisig it’s even safer!
