I think hardware wallets are smart. However, how quickly can you liquidate your digital currency and how do you do it?

you have to transfer to an exchange. hardware wallets are for long term storage. I used to store all my currency on an exchange called Mt Gox. Big mistake.

Thanks. Makes sense! So if I take my bitcoin off an exchange like Coinbase and transfer to a hardware wallet but then a few months later need to transfer to dollars then how do I transfer my bitcoin back on coinbase to then get dollars?

It is better to be safe than sorry! This is really beneficial info for the community. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info borther, just what i needed. I am starting to grow my finances and need a higher level of protection.

i lost countless bitcoins in the past. no joke

i have also lost some, we share the same pain :D

You can use bitfinex as an alternative to the hard wallet. Bitfinex does support bitcoin cash.

lol i don't trust exchanges, i was a mt gox victim

Glad your sharing your advise with others. I first bought bitcoin 2 days before the mt gox collapse. I said I would never buy again as I kept buying into the falling knife. I'm so glad I changed my decision later when it was in the 400s.

Thanks, good stuff. UV & RS

Great video! Short and sweet. Thanks! I still love KeepKey, but if it stays sold out I'm going to have to go with the Ledger Nano S.

Good info

you done good job
