Well, this is interesting... there is an updated hardware to the Ledger Nano line! The biggest difference to this Nano X is the addition of Bluetooth so it can be used relatively easily with mobile devices via the Ledger Live mobile app. I currently use the Ledger Live app on the desktop and I have to say it is a huge step up from the Chrome apps that they used to have beforehand.

Adding Bluetooth means that it is much easier to use with mobile devices, which hopefully would mean that it would be easier to use crypto on the go instead of being tied to a desktop or laptop. I'm a bit in the air on this, I would prefer to use mobile hot wallets (like having a small amount of cash on you) rather than having to whip out the Ledger for small purchases. This is how I have my banking app configured, I only need the banking two-factor machine if I spend more than 50 euros a day, which is not likely on a regular day.

That said, Ledger is much safer than having a mobile hot wallet... but I wouldn't be putting more than petty cash on a wallet that I carry around one me!

On the other hand, I would pay for a Ledger that holds more apps in memory! It is a right pain in the @#$% to have to keep switching in and out apps. It is easy enough, but it is a bit of a pain point!

Speaking of which, I think Ledger is having a 30% sale on the Nano S at the moment. It's always a good idea to have your crypto off the exchanges and in a wallet where you hold the private key!

Keep Your Crypto Holdings Safe with Ledger

Ledger is one of the leading providers of hardware wallets with the Ledger Nano S being one of the most popular choices for protecting your crypto currencies. Leaving your holdings on a crypto exchange means that you don’t actually own the digital assets, instead you are given an IOU that may or may not be honoured when you call upon it. Software and web based wallets have their weakness in your own personal online security, with your private keys being vulnerable in transit or whilst being stored upon your computer. Paper wallets are incredibly tiresome and still vulnerable to digital attacks (in transit) and are also open to real world attacks (such as theft/photography).

Supporting a wide range of top tokens and coins, the Ledger hardware wallet ensures that your private keys are secure and not exposed to either real world or digital actors. Finding a happy medium of security and usability, Ledger is the leading company in providing safe and secure access to your tokenised future!
