One of the trending news on Cryptocurrency today is how Ian Balina got hacked. Here is the hackers wallet address https://etherscan.io/address/0x2b353bff3b33dc8314e7757cb3d7415016044c98
It's such an unfortunate occurrence, ones hardwork and investment swept away in minutes. It is more unfortunate that someone with over $2m worth of asset, doesn't have a ledger of $80. Saving passwords and private keys in PC,cloud account or google drive is no longer save. As Cryptocurrency is becoming more popular, scammers and hackers keep upgrading and bringing new concepts.

Rumour has it that some hackers relate with website owners to to steal from people, like what happened in etherdelta months back which people feel is inside work.

There have also been cases of assault were armed men forcefully order people to transfer their cryptocurrencies to their wallet.

Something like this can't happen if your assets are in your ledger wallet and safely hidden somewhere in your home.

So yeah!!! All these can be avoided by getting a ledger wallet.

GET A LEDGER WALLET

What is ledger wallet?

Ledger Wallet is a smartcard based hardware or cold storage wallet that provides maximum protection level for Cryotocurrencies without sacrificing usability or control.

Ledger wallet has proven to be the most secured way of saving cryptocurrencies at the moment. Private keys are seen by the owner alone through the screen of the device. It is not accessible through a PC and can not be copied. This leaves the owners private keys safe right on the device and seen by them alone. The device is set in a way that passcode is required to access it so even if it's stolen, the thief won't have access to your keys.

You go to bed with peace of mind,not having the fear of waking up someday to an empty wallet. Before a transaction is confirmed, you will have to press down the device to approve it so as far as that is not done , your cryptocurrencies are hundred percent safe with you.

Ledger wallet saves one from having various private keys and owning several wallets. It permits you to store all your assets in the same place.

The price might seem expensive to some people but anyone that has a tangible amount of cryptocurrencies should get a ledger wallet and avoid being ripped off their hard labour.

I am not here to promote any company selling ledger wallet so to get yours, go online and sort it out but if you want me to help you get it and you are in Nigeria, do contact me from any of the Nigerian community WhatsApp group.

Thanks for reading

My pleasure dear
Thanks

The ledger is pretty good I just wish they made a more robust version as it seems easy to break. This is why I ended up loving my keepkey for the main cryptos while the ledger is for alts.

There will surely be improvements as more companies get in.

Never heard of keepkey, will research about it
Thanks

I'd like to see something about a comparison of different competing hardware wallets and their tradeoffs?
