I've been involved with crypto-currencies 3yrs now and have never used a USB flash drive to store my btc . Recently, I have been highly considering to get one that is specifcally designed for digital currencies such as the 'Ledger', nano, and whatever else that is popular amongst the crypto-space!
Earlier I was watching @crypt0 - https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@crypt0/ep-523-usd55-000-bitcoin-by-2022-irs-recedes-in-court-tenx-pay-token-drops-100-7ype-more and he got me motivated by displaying and promoting where to get some nice offline banks ;)
Honestly, I never even watched tutorials on how to go about it & so, now is a great time to learn, considering hearing of all of these security attacks. And I do hope this helps others as well, who would like to understand how this all works.
No lie, recently(last wk) I had a thought and I was wondering if it was possible to back up digital currencies from a regular USB-Drive and BAM an article appears the following week ;) I think this is very cool how we can use USB's as a bank. Times are changing ppl!
