 All these devices are great in their own respective ways. 

I think a #bitkey is better suited for your needs. It’s a hot wallet and a cold wallet at the same time. 

But while it’s easy to use, buck up is made in an untraditional way, which I would argue makes it less user friendly from that perspective. PDFs + cloud + trusted friend + Block. 

Nothing beats the old school 12 words seed backup. 
 what’s a hot wallet vs a cold wallet? 

i like the seed backups, its secure 
 So they designed bitkey it in a way that allows you to spend Bitcoin without the bitkey itself in a secure way, straight from your phone (that’s what’s considered a “hot” wallet) under a set amount you specify. 

For any amounts larger than what you set, you need the bitkey to sign the transaction (that’s the “cold” wallet). 

But to enable all of this, bitkey is not your typical 12 seed phrase wallet. It’s a bit more complex under the hood. 
 ooo 
 Yeah, they put a lot of thought into it. 
 150$ is steep for someone of my age rn (college student) but i think i might try out the bitkey since im already a cashapp user 

@Thomas @CashApp will there be sales on the bitkey in the future by any chance, or is it a set price 
 We had a huge sale a while back. Holiday season around the corner. 

Also don’t skip on the Blockstream Jade. $50 arguably better positioned than both in my humble opinion. 
 Do you work for bitkey?!?! 
 Haha of course not. 
 We* was an autocorrect. Not sure what I was trying to say. 

They? 
 😂 u should work for them anyways, you explain it so well 
 Thank you. 🙏 
 I’ve seen the jade, it’s dope, i might use that as my starter
