Awsome review mate thank you. Being able to have a pin number of greater than the usual 6 to 8 digits is a huge increase to the front door security. Cheers Stevo.
Can I transfer crypto from different sources and also for instance i have crypto and my wife has crypto in our own personal accounts, can we put them all in the one Trezor device?
Yes, there is no limit to where you can receive crypto from. As long as the platform you currently have crypto on allows you to send your crypto externally, you can send it to your cold wallet. And yes, there's no limit to how much crypto you can store using a cold wallet, so if you want to send both yours and your wife's crypto to one cold wallet, that's completely fine and normal.
Subscribed! Great channel I really appreciate the info but just have 2 newb questions: 1) so what happens if my trezor gets lost or destroyed? Is my crypto gone, or am I good as long as I have my pins and seed words recorded somewhere or memorized? 2) I have a really old PC, will trezor still work for me or would I need a newer laptop?
Thanks for the sub! 1) As long as you have your seed phrase you can recover your crypto on nearly any hardware wallet device-even a different brand wallet. 2) Trezor suite is supported by both older and newer Mac, Windows, and Linux computers. Worst case, you can use the “Trezor Suite for Web” option in your browser rather than downloading the app. But if your computer supports downloading it, I’d do that. FYI, you can try downloading Trezor Suite right now before you even buy the wallet. Just go to their website and try it out-it’s free software.

@luissaavedramori4692 Safepal is a reputable company. I use the X1 myself. That said, I have about 7 wallets I use on a “consistent” basis. Not a bad idea to have multiple devices and different seed phrases either.
Trezor safe 5 is the choice then. You can split the seed phrase up like a multi sig. Meaning your protecting yourself from loss or theft. You can use the SD card to make the Trezor obsolete without it. Splitting the Trezor and SD in different locations makes theft impossible. Sure you might get killed anyway if someone doesnt believe you but.... Eventually it will become common knowledge that you cant steal crypto physically. It will reduce crime and make it much safer. On top of that Tezor donates to Bitcoin education with each purchase.
Not crazy about the colors... I ordered the Black Graphite but maybe if they come out with some new colors, I might get another... Maybe a Ruby Red or Cobalt Blue... Maybe... 🤔
question. I originally had the Trezor one and upgraded to the safe 3. When I setup my safe 3, I used the recovery option using the seed from the trezor one. So my safe 3 has a 24 word seed phrase. Can I still change to slip 39 backup? If yes, and I want to do a 2 out of 3 shares, will one of the shares be the original 24 word seed, or will it generate 3 new 20 word seeds?
You can’t change your seed phrase. You have to initially set it up using the SLIP39 20-word phrase, which you clicks later update to the multi-share phrase. So you need to create a new one if you want to use slip39
Can you put your data on three Trezor wallets for redundancy? All my years of family photos are on three separate hard drives for security, so why wouldn't I use the same mentality for my crypto? I don't like the fact they have no live support.
By data you mean what? Your seed phrase? Your seed phrase isn’t attached to any one wallet. You can import it into a million different wallets if you wanted to. If you’re looking to diversify your crypto, you’ll want to store it using different seed phrases as crypto isn’t stored in a wallet, it’s stored on the blockchain.

@@tomgeorge6865 you have 2 options. Just import your seed phrase to the Safe 5 (no cost here) as you aren’t transferring anything. Option two, create a new seed phrase on the Safe 5, copy receiving addresses, send from Model T (same process as sending crypto from an exchange to your model T if you did that). Cost depends on the blockchain. Solana would be a few cents, whereas bitcoin could be $20+ to transfer.
@@cyberscrilla so your seed phrase is not tied to a specific device then? If my model t died, I would not have to replace with another model t? What about another manufacturer?
@tomgeorge6865 Nope. Seed phrases are not tied to any specific device. Most wallets support BIP39 phrases (12-24 word phrases). So you can take the seed phrase you generated on Trezor and use it in other Trezor devices, Tangem, Onekey, Safepal, etc
@@cyberscrilla Hi, sorry i know this is irrelevant but i could use some help. I went on to my ledger and noticed i had been "dusted" they sent 5 tiny transactions of xrp to my ledger. Once you have been dusted what can i do? Many videos about what dusting is but not how to respond to it. Any help would be appreciated 🙏. Are there any better or worse wallets to have regarding this?
@@empressatheism5146 nothing happens. Your crypto isn’t stored on the wallet. The wallet holds your private key that’s used to access and manage your crypto. Thus, if you do decide you want to upgrade, you just import your seed phrase into the new model and manage your crypto there. You can also continue to use your old model (only if you want to) as you can import your seed phrase into as many wallets as you want (not saying I recommend doing this though).
A standard USB stick lacks crucial security elements such as a PIN and secure element chip, meaning they are prone to hacks, plus you can’t manage crypto using a USB stick like you can with a hardware wallet.
The only issue trezor has, that trezor isnt spread wide in defi. If you use defi alot, you should get keystone 3 pro. You can use metamask with trezor and that it. So if you want to use a network which isnt evm, trezor isnt for you, since support of hot wallets is weak, like solona memes or staking etc. Etc I have both and use them both for difference cases. As long trezor doesnt spread theirs wallets in defi, im mainly using it as cold storage only.
Newbie trying to decide on Trevor Safe 5, ledger stax, or Onekey pro? I have not been able to find comparisons with pros/cons of these newer wallets to make a decision. Any advise appreciated.
Whichever you choose, check to see that the wallet supports all the coins you want to hold. That said, if you want a versatile devices you can use on both mobile and desktop, go with the Onekey Pro (the code CYBERSCRILLA will save you some money) If you want a desktop only device and something more affordable, go with the Safe 5. As for Ledger, I don’t recommend their products.
@@cyberscrillaany quick reasons for not recommending ledger products? Thank you very much for your response you are very kind to take the time to respond and it is very much appreciated
After watching the review of the Safe 5 model, I don't see it offering any significant advantages over the Trezor Model T. Both have similar sizes and features, with the only notable difference being the addition of a side SD card slot on the Safe 5. However, if you lose the SD card, you can just wipe the device and regain access, which seems redundant. The Safe 5 is cheaper, but other than that, it doesn't offer much to differentiate it from the Model T. If you already own the Trezor Model T, there's no need to switch to the Safe 5. For new users starting fresh, the Safe 5 might be a more budget-friendly option if saving around $20 is a concern.
@@domainadmin3463 The main difference is the secure element chip which offers greater security than the Model One and Model T which have no secure element… So, the Safe 3 and Safe 5 or the more secure models, and the old models are prone to physical hacks. But if you aren’t worried about that, the old Trezor models are great.
I bought my Trezor 5 off Amazon. It came untampered, completely sealed and has passed verification every use. Just in case anyone was considering using Amazon.
@@cyberscrilla That doesn’t make any sense. I’m not sure if you’re being compensated or just not informed, but Trezor Company R.S.O owns and manufactures the Trezor Wallet, and also has an official Amazon account to be able to distribute through Amazon because it makes a lot more sense for them logistically. It also gives the company exposure to prime members. Buying from the official Trezor Amazon account is no different than buying off of the Trezor website and relying on USPS, FEDEX, UPS, or whichever other shipping service.
It’s probably safe, if you buy from their verified seller, but is it worth the extra risk? The more hands it goes through in transportation the higher the risk of it being tampered with.
Thanks brother! I actually wanted the Trezor 5 and Tangem wallet. I purchased the BC Vault at the same time as the Tangem but not really feeling the BC vault now since its current information is limited.
Hmmm...The Trezor is not Air Gapped, (in direct contact with internet, huge security risk), Using Trezor's "software" Trezor Suite to interface, no Checksum or SHA256 to verify the Firmware before installing. Don't mean to be a hard ass, but this is not worth the risk. At this price point You'd be better off using Keystone's 3 Pro...
Air gap does not equal more secure. Common misconception. Malware can still be transferred via QR codes-it’s all data at the end of the day. Also Trezor does offer SHA256 if you want it. However the automatic authentication check is good so you don’t have to use manual sha method if you don’t want to. I trust both Keystone and Trezor to secure my crypto-both are open source-but Trezor is overall a more user friendly option.
Then don’t use the micro SD. It’s optional. Like i mentioned in the video, I don’t use it. Also, if the micro sd failed you don’t lose access to your crypto. That’s what a seed phrase is for. You’d just factory reset the device and import your phrase. The micro sd card is solely to increases device security and further protect it from physical attacks. It’s actually really cool. But not necessary imo assuming you set a good PIN.
MicroSd card is good feature , maybe is a way to copy multiple of them and safe in good places ,sandisk lifespan is 10 years so its worth it ,its similar to bitlocker on windows
I swear ppl do not listen nor do they understand what EAL rating’s mean. Ultimately if you’re worried of losing your crypto to hacks or theft of some sort then just go with a BC-Vault or get multiple wallets and keep a little in each. But no one’s hacking into a BC-Vault wallet anytime in the next 20 years if ever.
I’m not familiar with that sequence. During setup, you have to install the firmware as it arrives with no firmware. As for future updates, once you plugin the device and unlock it, Trezor Suite will inform you if your device needs an update. You can also manually check for updates in Trezor Suite.
@@cyberscrilla i use to be that you had to unplug the device and swipe your finger on the screen WHILE plugging it back in to initialize the firmware update sequence on the device itself. I believe this has changed and is not longer required. It makes me nervous updating firmware to begin with and even more so when the update process is changed whiteout note from the provider.
@QuadTap Hmm. I’ve never seen that and I’ve owned my Trezor wallet for about a year. You must plug in the device and approve the firmware update still. There’s nothing unsecure about it. Especially because the bootloader would detect if there were a malicious firmware or anything like that. So no worries here.
Trezor Company s.r.o. Kundratka 2359/17a 18000 Praha 8 Czechia so this is the address from where my Trezor is coming from . Does this look good to you? I ordered directly but am somewhat skeptical about buying something from Chechia. please advice. Thank you

@mushroomzulu Yep, air gap does not increase security. It just makes the wallet less user friendly generally
I dont like to trust my wealth on SD cards cause they tend to fail down the road they cant hold high temperatures or humidity , safe 3 is way better !
Then don’t use the micro SD.
It’s optional. Like i mentioned in the video, I don’t use it.
Also, if the micro sd failed you don’t lose access to your crypto. That’s what a seed phrase is for.
You’d just factory reset the device and import your phrase.
The micro sd card is solely to increases device security and further protect it from physical attacks.
It’s actually really cool. But not necessary imo assuming you set a good PIN.
MicroSd card is good feature , maybe is a way to copy multiple of them and safe in good places ,sandisk lifespan is 10 years so its worth it ,its similar to bitlocker on windows
Also your wealth is not on the hardware, it’s on the seed that is generated.
But if you rely on the hardware to protect your seed, then the security of your seed then relies on the hardware.
I swear ppl do not listen nor do they understand what EAL rating’s mean. Ultimately if you’re worried of losing your crypto to hacks or theft of some sort then just go with a BC-Vault or get multiple wallets and keep a little in each. But no one’s hacking into a BC-Vault wallet anytime in the next 20 years if ever.
Free- NDA ≠ 100% open source
6:50 Not true, Keystone 3 Pro also supports SLIP 39 seed shares long ago
@@eliasgc49 You’re right. My point is a majority of wallets still don’t. So it’s not as compatible as BIP39
I stay with TANGEM….
What would make you switch? 👀
can you confirm that Trezor firmware update NO LONGER REQUIRES unplug/replug sequence.... DID TREZOR CHANGE THE FIRWARE UPDATE PROCESS?
I’m not familiar with that sequence.
During setup, you have to install the firmware as it arrives with no firmware.
As for future updates, once you plugin the device and unlock it, Trezor Suite will inform you if your device needs an update.
You can also manually check for updates in Trezor Suite.
@@cyberscrilla i use to be that you had to unplug the device and swipe your finger on the screen WHILE plugging it back in to initialize the firmware update sequence on the device itself. I believe this has changed and is not longer required. It makes me nervous updating firmware to begin with and even more so when the update process is changed whiteout note from the provider.
@QuadTap Hmm. I’ve never seen that and I’ve owned my Trezor wallet for about a year.
You must plug in the device and approve the firmware update still. There’s nothing unsecure about it.
Especially because the bootloader would detect if there were a malicious firmware or anything like that.
So no worries here.
My model t firmware just updated and there was no unplugging or swiping needed.
@@QuadTap Hi, we've been working on improving the flow and it's way better now! It's crucial for us to make the update process as smooth as possible!
You CANT install universal firmware on Bitcoin only Trezors
Correct, read the pinned comment.
keystone cheaper and bigger screeen and same tech slip39. keystone = king
Not same tech. Different software. Keystone does not have an app, Trezor does. I like both, but to say there are the same is incorrect.
no kaspa = no trezor
Own no Kaspa = Get Trezor 😆

Czechia so this is the address from where my Trezor is coming from . Does this look good to you? I ordered directly but am somewhat skeptical about buying something from Chechia. please advice. Thank you
Yes, that’s where Trezor is based and manufactured.
