This fan art is a heartfelt gift from me to @Nicolas_Sassoon and my favorite, most powerful company and team @Ledger,especially @sharafi_eth 👑 Created with all my soul and love, I'm sorry my Discord had issues and I couldn't upload the artwork there, Sharing it here 💜

Last week at @EthCC, I had the opportunity to try the @Ledger Recovery Key introduced by its CTO @P3b7_ few days ago ! And honestly I am sold ! Here is why 👇 Reminder : The idea of the recovery key is to be able to store your private key on a pin-protected (very) small local plastic card containing a secure element ! Three missed PIN-tentatives and your key is erased forever ❌ To be fair, I was skeptical of the idea before I had the chance to try it and understand its potential. It felt like another useless gadget to increase Ledger revenue. So what are the advantages of such a device that made me change my mind ? - it allows you to easily store a full seed without getting worried of people reading/stealing your words. No need to split your seed in 2/3/4 pieces (for this purpose at least). - it allows you to give family members access to your seed without giving them DIRECT access to it. The PIN can be given by third party such as a notary after your death, a physical safe (or any other creative idea). It can be very helpful when planning for your succession. - it's very small, thin and discrete. I initially thought it would be the size of a credit card. But it's much smaller and convenient to store/hide. - it's pretty resistant ! Way more than a ledger device (obviously) as there is no electronics per say - you can export/import the seed in a few seconds on any NFC Ledger device. - It should be pretty cheap ! While the price hasn't been announced yet by @Ledger, it should be pretty inexpensive as from my discussion with some employees, Ledger could offer it for free for Stax/Flex buyers. They also plan to sell it in bulk (for example by 3). Of course, all the advantages listed above can be replicated by creative techniques at home, but for most users, this key will drastically simplify their seed storage user experience. Also bear in mind that's the device is COMPLEMENTARY to storing seed phrase on other supports (such as metal plates) as the life expectancy of the device should be 15/20 years. To all Ledger haters out there, remember that NOBODY forces you to buy/use it. It's just nice to have another option.✅ Also most hate around Ledger and hardware wallets in general come from a confusion about the purpose of such objects: there are signing machine, not seed storing machine ! (See @hasufl post on the matter) Let's wait for the official release and price announcement now ! Will keep you posted 🫡

Yesterday, 80,000 BTC (worth roughly $8 billion) were moved on-chain. These coins date back to 2011, before the BIP39 standard existed. Back then, private keys were managed individually per address, with no hardware wallet support (even today). This suggests the keys were stored in a wallet.dat file, and the transaction was likely signed using a software wallet like Electrum. From a security standpoint, this is absolutely insane!

Essentials for vacation🍷🔒- @Ledger

Crypto taught me something simple but powerful: If you don’t control your keys, you don’t own your crypto. Exchanges are convenient. But convenience is never ownership. @Ledger showed me what real ownership feels like. 🔐

🚨 Friendly Reminder for everyone in Web3 🚨 Scam accounts are everywhere trying to get us rekt and steal what we’ve worked hard for. From everything I’ve researched, @Ledger is one of the safest gatekeepers for your assets. It keeps your crypto secured offline but your recovery phrase is your responsibility. As Ledger reminds us: DGR (Don’t Get Rekt). ✅ No provider ( Ledger, me or any other person... ) will ever ask for your recovery phrase. ❌ If they do, it’s a scam. Stay sharp. Stay safe. 🛡️

The crypto wallet services company @Ledger just announced a new sponsorship deal with the San Antonio Spurs. CEO @_pgauthier joins to discuss the deal and the state of cryptocurrency.

Today, I am extremely proud to announce @Ledger’s multi-year partnership with the @Spurs. The Spurs aren’t just a legendary @NBA franchise, but also the most French team in basketball history. One of the youngest, most international, and exciting rosters in the league. This historical partnership is a pivotal moment for Ledger, entering a new era. It will further deepen our connection with American consumers, while the US represents our largest market globally. It will also reinforce access to that next generation and opens the door to a new kind of digital fluency, based on empowerment and education as the most powerful forms of protection. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to R.C. Buford and the entire San Antonio Spurs for this partnership and their unique vision.
