 Question: If a friend has had a Ledger for a while and wants help transferring sats over from their Blue Wallet, would you help them?
Or wait till they get a bitcoin-only wallet?
I prefer to wait but they want to go ahead.

 In my opinion Ledger as device is fine. Better than nothing. I would obviously help and make sure he does not create any account on Ledger Live. Use an app for firmware updates only. 

Glad to see other opinions.

 Randomly saw this an hour before we were due to meet! Let them know and they decided to get a @Foundation Passport instead and wait to transfer 😅👍 https://i.nostr.build/HXwobVlADp7pMlx1.jpg

 Passport is very good choice. One of the best on the market.

As for  Ledger’s post, this is regarding using Ledger Live for creating accounts and transactions which is bad choice as user is sharing his data (xpub, metadata, not sure if IP) with Ledger. So again, if you are about to use Ledger us Ledger App only to load firmware and nothing more.
