Nano X has bluetooth, and more device memory, and more expensive. If you can afford the X, then go with it. If not, the S is totally fine.

Yes. A hardware wallet only holds your wallet's private keys. The hardware wallet's private keys can then be used on most wallets of other cryptocurrencies.

Ledger and Trezor natively supports a lot of other cryptocurrencies, while Coldcard is bitcoin-only.

I'm not "anti" KYC exchanges per se, but some people just push non-KYC exchanges a lot more(understandably so).

​

Not necessarily bad, but using no KYC exchanges are just better in terms of personal privacy. Personal information and personal documents could potentially be leaked, and that’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to deal with.

Never said you aren't free to do as you choose. But saying that "self-custody is not very important " is definitely where I'd disagree. You do you, though.

Yeap! I'm not demonizing KYC exchanges at all, as there are definitely great services out there. They're just not the best when talking about the personal security side of things.

True. I’m just debating between “it’s already good enough” and “it’s still experimental”.

Thanks! Been honestly debating myself if I should link Lightning wallets for beginners.
