0:00 Is it okay to store most of my crypto in non-custodial phone wallets vs hardware wallets?
0:15 Mobile wallets compared to desktop
0:41 The tears test for hardware wallets
Where to store my cryptocurrency is a common question and honestly a constant struggle for most people. We want our bitcoin to be 100% safe but also we want to have access. In this video, Andreas quickly explains why phones are great for small amounts of crypto but not so great for larger amounts. He applies what we’re calling the tears test, which is if you would cry if you lost that amount of cryptocurrency, then it’s probably too much crypto to hold on your mobile device.
Andreas workshop Choose Your Cryptocurrency Wallet will teach you all about mobile, desktop, software, and hardware wallets. Most importantly, he’ll teach you how to stop relying on others and learn how to choose your own wallet for yourself. Learn more and watch a video preview: https://aantonop.com/workshops
