I am quite new to cryptocurrencies. Sure, years ago I read articles and watch reports about it, but I remain truly ignorant for a very long time. At the beginning of this year, and because of the worsening worldwide financial situation, I finally decided to buy my first coins. There was only one problem - I didn't have any idea where to begin. Therefore I called a friend, and he explained the A, B, and C of the world of digital currencies to me. He gave me a couple of options where I could buy my first coins and well, the rest is history.
I have continued to read everything that I can, and have watched countless tutorials on YouTube and Odysee, but I'm still a neophyte. Yes, I already know how to fend for myself in the Exchanges - well, at least I know how to buy coins. However, something is not clear to me and that is WALLETS. Specifically cold wallets. I know that due to possible hackers it is not recommended to leave our digital currencies for a long time in an Exchange. I don't have much to lose, however, I want to be careful. That is why I am writing this article today. Specifically, I would like to hear your opinions regarding Ledger. Perhaps someone here can share his/her wisdom in the comments section.
I ordered a LEDGER-NANO-S-PLUS directly from Ledger. I am almost sure that it is legitimate. I'll live the link below in case someone can help me to confirm that. And now to my point - when I open it I was surprised and then somewhat doubtful. Everything in the package looked official, but the little box where the Ledger was, was only wrapped in heavy-duty plastic. After removing the plastic I realized there was no authenticity sticker or something like that sealing the box. Maybe I'm paranoid, but should there be a sticker or not? I ask because I know that it is not advisable to store keys in a device unless we are 100% sure that they are legitimate, right? What do you think? Who has experience with Ledger? I would love to hear what you have to say.
