Happy early Christmas from me to me!

I joined Steemit half a year ago, and at the same time I took my baby steps into crypto. Now I’m a toddler and desided it was time to get myself the Ledger Nano S hardware wallet to hold my preciousss cryptos. That escalated pretty quickly I think..

I’m smart enough to know that I basically know nothing, but what I do know is that I need to hodl and hold everything (possibly) worthy safe. And by default, I trust no one, so I figured hardware wallet was the safest way to go. And it was really fun to pay for something in Bitcoin without having to sell it for Euros first.

I don’t know how to use it yet, hardly even opened the box. Need a good nights sleep and tomorrow I’ll play with my new toy.

Not gonna lie, this makes me feel like I’m one of the cool kids.

This is beautiful... I wish get back in time to be a kid and just think about playing. dont think about the future or the politics or the Contradictions of life
How beautiful to be kid

I thought you were holding a box of cigarettes in the first photo but I guess magic computer money is better for you.

Do you smoke?

I smoke sometimes, mostly for pictures or when I’m drinking.

I think the magic money might even be more addictive than cigarettes!

Welcome to the cool kids group! You're officially invited! We can now stop teasing you behind your back and calling you mean names...

But actually, I don't have a "Ledger Nano S" at this point. You're cooler than me and you'll have to let me know what all the cool kids are talking about.

I am still a crypto-baby. :(

It feels like it might have been a little too easy to get in with the cool kids, there must be a catch!

The catch is - you never sell. You wait until bitcoin isnt priced in dollars, but 1 dollar is priced in satoshis.

But a girls gotta eat!

Well, sell a stupid fiat for that.
Bitcoin is your future.

Maybe not Bitcoin, but blockchain is our future for sure.

blockchain is nothing by itself. Its not the core principle of bitcoin.

Blockchain technology will be one of the things that changed the world. Bitcoin is not the best cryptocurrency out there. It has huge potential but I don't like where it's going at the moment. Hopefully things get better.

Congratulations, I took just got the Ledger Nano S for my birthday Dec 18th, we are starting to get more serious in cryptocurrency ourselves. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine. PS keep up the great work.

It’s pretty exciting isn’t it :)

Thank you and I do try my best.

You've always been one of the cool kids lol
I'm curious how the Nano S works, is it a flash drive type deal? You must update us when you get it up and running!

Excellent choice! Everybody who has more than $500 worth of crypto today should probably get one of these.

Be sure to write down the pass phrase on multiple places and store them safely.
Also, after writing down the passphrase, check the (Bitcoin or other) address and copy paste it somewhere, and then IMMEDIATELY wipe the device clean be entering the wrong pincode three times. It will reset the device. Now, use your passphrase which you wrote down to try and restore the item. After you restore it, check if it's the same address as the one you copy pasted. If it is, congrats, you have just verified that your back-up indeed works and that you haven't written anything down wrong. Now you truly have a secure passphrase that has never touched a pc and is safe. Store one copy at a familymember in case of burglary or fire (depending on trust, include instructions in the sad case you may come to pass, so they can access it)

Good luck!

you are a cool kid

One day I will take those steps and even plan to buy Ledger BLUE
https://www.ledgerwallet.com/products/ledger-blue
because of it´s friendly user interface @eveuncovered

Happy Xmas enjoy!

I joined Steemit this month and start buy crypto last month. I was also thinking about getting a hardwallet as well. It must be exciting to get one.

wise move young money

best = Ledger Blue
Happy Christmas @eveuncovered :)

Welcome to crypto land 😁

The Nano S is a good hardware wallet, it also supports plenty of coins. I’m happy to start seeing that some online merchants accept steem and steem dollars as well. I have to admit that I find pretty exciting the idea of buying goods with my posting rewards 😊

Pretty cool 😎

That's great! The first thing I learned about cryptocurrencies was HODL, and hopefully, one day Ill have enough to invest into something like Ledger. I'm happy to hear someone is making some serious moola from their investments. Merry Christmas to you and all of the Steemians!

I need one of those, I'm such a procrastinator though.

Congrat's on your early present to yourself. You are one of the cool kids. : )

So this is what it takes to be one of the cool kids ...

orders hardware wallet

Love mine! I have been using it for about a month now! Its the best thing to keep your coins safe!

Haha! You're the kind of kid I'd love to hang out with, Not flirtling obviously! or maybe! :P

You are a big girl now, congrats!

I am so jealous! Congrats for the upgrade! Merry Christmas @eveuncovered!

IT LOOKS SO COOL ! I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it in no time XD

I KNOW RIGHT! Haha yeah I’m sure it isn’t hard.

ah! congrats for your new toy, it seem like there is another hack every alternatives day.. all my crypto are in exchanges and I start to feel a little panic.. I watch a video about that tiny thingy on youtube and it seem like super complicated .. I might get one myself soon.. is it able to store all the coins or only for bitcoins?

Yeaahhh crypto women power!! A ledger nano s is so great, was exited when I got mine

Yeah yeah all the female empowerment and shit xD

Haha!

Great minds think a like! I've just got myself one too last week was going to write a little post about it but you beat me too it. Hope you had a cracking Xmas :)

But wait, I thought you were one of the cool kids. Unfollow you! ;)

Congratulations! I also got that for Christmas from my cryptocrazy boyfriend. ;-) And by the way: I really love your photographies

I’m so excited about becoming a toddler in cyptos too. And you were always one of the cool kids ;)
