I never thought this would be neccessary, but thanks to steemit I now need a save place for my digital money.
For me steemit never really was about earning money. For me it was just a place where interesting people were writing about interesting topics. I was euphorized by the political background in comparison to e.g. facebook.
As some of you might now steemit openend my gate to crypto-currencies. After I started steeming in july 2016, I used most of my free time to learn about blockchain technology, bitcoin and some altcoins. I never thought this whole crypto-thing would change my life the way it did. And my life changed because of steemit.
I´m quite sure that most people here are owning a lot more money than me. I´m not even close to being rich, but after I started my powerdown and trading at poloniex I realized, that I will need a safe place for my digital money. First I left it on polo, than I moved to my mobile Jaxx wallet, but all of this never felt safe enough.
So some days ago I bought my first TREZOR wallet. And I did this with bitcoin.
My first Bitcoin payment ever!
This tiny little grey device gives me a great and safe feeling. But why am I telling you all this?
I´m the living evidence, that steemit is bringing people into crypto!
Just wanted to let you know...
Thanks to everyone I met through this amazing platform.
Great post. I'm saving up to buy a trezor. I think it's important to control your private keys securely.

I am a big fan of Trezor wallet. Easy to use and very secure. Right now I am in the process of doing a firmware upgrade and I am kind of nervous about it. Have you done an update yet? how did it go?

In fact, I am also looking for a physical wallet (like Trezor). From how much do you think this device is needed ? What is your experience with it ? Is it easy to use ? Is this device the best secure wallet we can imagine ? Thanks for sharing :)
BTW: Upvoted and following you. Feel free to follow me if you want :)

Hi dimitrya, I´m not sure if TREZOR is the best cold wallet you can imagine, but I like it a lot. Great usability! I only handle as much coins with my mobile wallet as I would carry fiat in my regular purse. For some people maybe a Desktop wallet will do the same, but I think a cold wallet may be the best decission.

I agree, cold wallets are essential in today's dynamics, the last you need is to be hacked and lose all of your hard earned crypto coins, @essra this is a good post which will hopefully get people thinking about the need for a cold wallet.
Keep up the good work.

I think Ledger Blue is the 5 Star cold storage option for cryptos, worth checking out.

I love my Trezor wallet. I did a post on the pros and cons that I've encountered. Especially if you are a holder of some of the coins that it doesn't support. They've just introduced LTC support, so I'm happy about that.
