Besides Ledger and Trezor which are considered popular hardware wallets, do we have any other hardware wallets?  and which hardware wallet is best?  hardware wallets are not only used to store bitcoin, most can store many different currencies, so I think the number of investors owning hardware wallets will be very large.  but to get the exact number, only the hardware wallet provider can get that exact number. 

Hardware wallet is considered the most secure solution because it is an offline storage device but I think if we use airgap device then it is also a good way to store bitcoins.

It is difficult to know the Bitcoin storage conditions of corporates, but i am sure that Bitcoins stored in very large quantities will not be kept on online exchanges. Cold storage comes to mind as the most secure means of Bitcoin storage. This is because private keys stored in an internet connected wallet are vulnerable to network based theft. Cold storage solves this problem by signing the transaction with private keys in an offline environment. But there is a catch. Since bitcoins stored in cold wallets will take time to transfer to online exchanges, i think it will be difficult to buy and sell in sudden situations. For such cases, they can store bitcoins in online exchanges, albeit in small amounts, with special methods.

Please ledger is not the best hardware wallet. It has fallen down in the picking order since the team made an announcement about introducing a seed recovery service that will be carried out by a third party. According to them, the seed phrase backup will be stored on a cloud storage which is not an ideal method of storing seed phrase as it could be hacked and stolen. So I cannot trust ledger with my funds and I would instead recommend the following hardware wallet devices like Trevor, Passport, and Coldcard.

I’m still using Ledger even with the recent commotion about seed phrase recovery because it’s still offer the standard safety feature of hardware wallet. The team is still not implemented that said plan so I will not toss my 200$ worth of ledger for now just for a minor compromise since my total holdings is still not that huge to toss away my ledger.

I believe for those whale that has tons of money or those who still didn’t buy the ledger is really not advisable to use anymore due to their future plans.

buy a new computer. Use legder but never download anything else with that computer, you can protect it perfectly.

Then there are unforeseen calamities, such as earthquakes, wars, or fires, that result in the complete devastation of one's home and all its contents. A cascade of significant problems unfolds: not only have your physical possessions been lost, but your BTC holdings have vanished as well. There's no insurance to fall back on, and you are left with the sole responsibility of handling the loss.

It's true, there are no guarantees to ensure the safety of all our assets. However, I've started to explore ways to securely store assets online. Risks persist, and I'm prepared to bear those risks.

The best way for you to store Bitcoin depends on the needs of those investors. If you're looking for a secure place to store Bitcoin, the best thing to use is a hardwallet, as long as you're DYOR with the HD you choose.

Now, if there is no purchase of hardware wallets, there are other options that you can use, and some of them are the Electrum wallet, the Brain wallet, and the Unstoppable wallet, as long as you don't use custodial wallets because the risk level is high when you do it. on crypto exchanges. But that still depends on your choice; if you are confident, it's still up to you. as long as you are prepared for the possible consequences.

**Safety way to store your Bitcoin**

I'm just talking about holders, but talking about day traders, what other options do they have besides CEX? Cryptocurrency is also a financial market and it has many ways to make profits and everyone will choose whichever suits them best. Just because you don't make money trading doesn't mean other people don't make money trading either. There is nothing bad about people trading every day to make profits. When it comes to trading, they have no other choice but to use CEX and that too is considered a risk in daily trading that everyone is aware of and has accepted.

It's your decision because it's your assets, just like many people are still using centralized exchanges as storage, because it's their money, they have the right to do what they believe. But I won't be using Ledger anymore, even though they scrapped that bad idea after receiving harsh reaction from the community. But there is no guarantee to us that they do not store our seed phrase on their server. Ledger is no longer trustworthy.
