🚀 Ultimate Hardware Wallet Hacks for Bitcoin Security

Diving into this must-read thread on hardware wallet best practices? Here's the full scoop, keeping all the key tips intact:

▫️ Choose a Bitcoin-only device. If #Bitcoin is your priority, go for manufacturers focused solely on BTC for better security over altcoin support.

▫️ Buy directly from the manufacturer. Skip Amazon or eBay – tampered devices are a real risk. Order straight from the official site.

▫️ Airgapped > USB. Pick a device like @BlockstreamJade that can operate airgapped. Your seed should never touch an internet-connected device.

▫️ Use open-source wallet software. Download from official sources and pair with tools like Sparrow or Electrum for extra peace of mind (instead of the maker's app).

▫️ Create your own entropy. Advanced but crucial: Use dice rolls or coin flips to generate your seed, not just the device's internal generator. "Don't trust, verify."

▫️ NEVER input your seed on an online device. No photos, Google Docs, screenshots – keep it strictly offline.

▫️ Test your backups. Don't wait for disaster: Generate a seed, derive addresses, delete the wallet, then recover offline. Practice when calm!

▫️ Practice sending & receiving. Do small test transactions to get comfortable. If you can sign, your device truly holds the keys.

▫️ Securing your #Bitcoin isn’t rocket science, but it takes intention.

Stay safe, HODLers – your BTC depends on it! What's your go-to security hack? Share below!
