Bitcoin cold wallets are in the news
This discount on Trezor wallets coincides with the wave of criticism received by its direct competitor, Ledger.
According to the Market Times, Ledger was severely besieged by the public which defends the decentralization of finance after the company announced ‘Ledger Recover’.
‘Ledger Recover’ is a new feature that allows users to recover seed phrases from the cloud if the device is lost or stolen. For critics, this new function would attempt against the decentralization of cryptocurrency storage and would act contrary to the philosophical principles founded by Bitcoin for the ecosystem.
The public’s fear seems to be exacerbated by an additional fact: Ledger has been the victim of user data leaks in the past.
