Yes, I know that "for now" Recovery can be activated on a voluntary basis. Again, where is the guarantee that they will not go to extremes soon. Not updating firmware = no access to your funds.
Previously, favored cold wallets of course. Now, the opinion has changed dramatically. Hot wallets, fully cover my needs.
I deliberately updated the Nano X firmware because I wanted to know the results (I forgot how many times I updated the Nano X firmware since I bought it a few years ago).
If Ledger can access and steal their customers' assets when users update the firmware, it means Ledger has become a scammer.
+ Why buy it and then connect to another wallet? Better to walk past Leadger altogether then. There are more than enough alternatives.
P.S. I do as I personally feel comfortable. Just expressing my subjective opinion on the subject. What to do/how to act is up to everyone. 8)
As far as I know, there is no Leadger hardware wallet.Electrum vs. Electrum+Hardware Wallet
Which do you think has more value?
To use the hardware wallet, you need an app.
You might also ask why I don't use Ledger Live for every transaction with Nano X.
The answer is that the Electrum app is more straightforward and still supports hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.
On the other hand, Ledger Live is used on the mobile (smartphone) version.
Aside from storing crypto assets, my goal in buying a few different hardware wallets is to experience using them myself. It will feel different when I recommend a specific hardware wallet, but I have never tried it myself.
