Need suggestion on crypto Cold wallets

[Pravas]

Hi All.

From past few months I was thinking about buying a cold wallet for my crypto investments. But with today's wazir x hack now I think its high time to get one.

If someone from our forum is already using cold wallet, please suggest a good wallet around 25K. The main criteria is reliability/trust factor and secondary is features.
The main use of this wallet will be to store my BTC and ETH for long term (10+ years) , so limited coin support is OK with me.

Also a related query, what would be the gas fee to transfer BTC and ETH from CoinDCX and WazirX to cold wallet.

Thanks for all your help and suggestion.

I too am in same situation but i have some privacy coins on their own chain
So cold wallet won’t help me much so i stopped there
Btw don’t bother abt gas fee when it comes to assets protection that too ur horizon is 10yrs

You will not be able to withdraw from WazirX, not now and may be never.

May be. But I am talking about the future investment.

WazirX is dead, 99%. Its the biggest Indian exchange. Best is Binance but do remember to move the investment asap to hw

I have been using Ledger Nano X for the past 4 years. No issues till date and I do access every month to transfer new purchases monthly. Only thing that I have observed with Ledger is you do get phishing emails and also once or twice I received a call as well stating Ledger employee and I need to perform something to safeguard. I disconnected and till date it is safe itself .

Ledger is risky af, they are pretty shady if you search about them, if you are holding a considerable amount than better switch.

Have been using Ledger Nano S since 2018.
After over 5 years, the major issue I am seeing is that the small screen brightness has gone as low as 10% and the only way to use it is by using my mobile camera with full zoom.

Apart from that, I found the ease of use and have strong trust on the product. I am planning myself to buy the new version of ledger nano s plus.

Asked a friend of mine who works in crypto development.. He gave a 2.. for only storing then ellipal and for other activities like staking or swapping or buying etc then Trezor.. He still says Ledger is also great provided you are careful with spam/spoofing etc.

Yup, most of the people haven't faced it, but few including myself have faced it. Also depends how carelessly I was using it. I have couple of more friends with the same issue and others are still using it as new.

You guys can also check out cypherock x1, its an Indian company with good reviews and use case as it uses rfid cards for storing seeds and splitting them in 5 parts, so you can keep them at separate locations to be safe, also easy to handle for your wife or kids in case something happens to you .

After doing some homework i think for a long term safety I will go with US crypto ETFs like IBIT. It's expensive but I trust those wall street guys to take utmost security that can be possible. Also there will be fed oversight.
I will still buy direct crypto but the split will be 80% ETF and 20% direct for my 10+ year horizon.
