This was the most informative video regarding setting up a cold wallet. Thank you! I just have a few questions as this is all new to me. 1. If I have XDC on Uphold can I transfer to Ledger Flex? 2. Do you recommend backing up the wallet with another cold wallet? If so, would it need to be another ledger product? What would you use? 3. When using Ledger live does that compromise the concept of a “Cold Wallet” as it’s now linked online? It seems like ledger life has the functionality of a hot wallet.
Nice content, just found you recently and been going through a bunch of your old videos, which seem to be incredibly relevant, maybe even more so today in 2025.
Always trying to make evergreen content for one day when the channel blows up haha let me know if there are any topics you are curious about that you want me to cover
At 19:00 I noticed that there was a sound and the same when the transaction went through. I've got sounds enabled on my Flex but all I get is a very quiet tapping noise when I use the on-screen keyboard. Where does the sound you got come from? Does it come from your phone or the Flex? It appears to have a speaker on the top of the device. Thanks...
@RhettReisman thanks I appreciate the response, however to make your life a little easier I should have taken this post down a while ago. I figured it out. I'll leave the thread up in case anyone else missed it.
I've been wondering what to replace my old ledger nano s with. After your video I think i'll go with the Flex. Is the process of transferrring crypto between hardware wallets different? Do you have a video for this?
Watch the second half of this video, I show how to load a flex / stax with an existing seed phrase: th-cam.com/video/8-t11Fc_BUw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BJHo4YHDJwY5UBHm
I'm extremely new to hardware wallets so was hoping you could answer something for me. I have a small amount of BTC showing in my ledger live app on my iPhone. Do I have to do anything else to store the key on the Flex or is it already stored on the Flex as soon as it is showing within the app. I don't want to have it sat in ledger live and find out after a year that I've never moved it over haha
If you set up the flex and moved that seed phrase to ledger live on your iPhone the bitcoin is “on” both your flex and the iPhone (in the same wallet) Try spending it (send it to Coinbase etc) by signing the transaction with the flex, that’s how you’ll know the bitcoin belongs to the flex. Make sure you wrote down the seed phrase when you set up the flex. The Bitcoin is actually on the seed phrase not on the flex or the iPhone. Hope that made sense
@@RhettReisman Thanks for the info! I have the seed phrase noted down its just a bit confusing as this is my first cold wallet. I wanted to be 100% sure I was setup correct
Hi, I did a test run and i received my $5 on my iPad and phone but question?? Maybe this is a dumb question but is the amount suppose to be on the ledger flex as well? I see nothing!
So I already have a ledger x set up on my desk top and I have the ledger mobil app set up on my phone that is my wallet. I bought the Flex, can I add the flex to my existing ledger account on my desktop and add it to mobile app as another account? The Flex is for my daughter and i want to keep our wallets together if possible. Also if this is possible to combine both wallets to one acount can my daughter download the Ledger mobile wallet app and also see her account on her phone?
It sounds like you’re asking if you can manage the Ledger Flex as a separate account under the same Ledger Live setup you already use on your desktop and mobile. Yes, you can add the Flex to your existing Ledger Live account as a new account, and it will show up alongside your other accounts. However, your daughter can’t see just her Flex account on her phone unless she sets up her own Ledger Live app and connects the Flex directly to it. If you want to manage everything together, you’d control her account from your Ledger Live setup.
I haven't used NFTs in a while but process should be almost exactly the same as this video: th-cam.com/video/O90vfXRi3Wc/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygURcmhldHQgcmVpc21hbiBuZnQ%3D
So I am in the set up process and it is telling me to download something on my desktop computer. Its a 9.99 service after a 30 trial. is this normal? Yours just started downloading the bitcoin and etherium once you clicked it
That might be the Ledger Recover service (you could use that if you want but I don't use it in this tutorial) You shouldn't have to download anything additional to your computer. Make sure you're getting Ledger Live from Ledger's website ledger.com
Ahh okay, just another question, when I transfer crypto from an exchange to my ledger live does that automatically go to the flex? It tells me to double check wallets on my flex when doing transaction but it only sometimes says authorise signature?
Thanks for covering the mobile vs. desktop right off the top. I watched the 3 min set-up from Ledger and it was so lame...no explanation about it - just showed setting up with mobile.

Mine arrived today. I really like it. The cat was right!
Chungus is always right 🐱 🧠 📈

How do you sync your desktop to your phone.
I show how to do it at 15:22
@RhettReisman thanks I appreciate the response, however to make your life a little easier I should have taken this post down a while ago. I figured it out. I'll leave the thread up in case anyone else missed it.
"level up your brain"...charming

is there a coinbase and robinhood app?
Not in ledger but you can send from both of those companies to a ledger device

I think the ledger flex is not compatible with phantom wallet, right?
It's compatible here's how: www.ledger.com/academy/the-safest-way-to-use-phantom-with-ledger-hardware-wallet
Hi, I did a test run and i received my $5 on my iPad and phone but question?? Maybe this is a dumb question but is the amount suppose to be on the ledger flex as well? I see nothing!
The ledger flex is not connected to the internet and so it can never know your balance. It is only used to sign and verify your transactions
So I already have a ledger x set up on my desk top and I have the ledger mobil app set up on my phone that is my wallet. I bought the Flex, can I add the flex to my existing ledger account on my desktop and add it to mobile app as another account? The Flex is for my daughter and i want to keep our wallets together if possible.

Would like to see how you send NFTs to your address using this, or connecting with a wallet extension.
Good video!
I haven't used NFTs in a while but process should be almost exactly the same as this video: th-cam.com/video/O90vfXRi3Wc/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygURcmhldHQgcmVpc21hbiBuZnQ%3D
can we add usdt in ledger flex ?
Yes
So I am in the set up process and it is telling me to download something on my desktop computer. Its a 9.99 service after a 30 trial. is this normal? Yours just started downloading the bitcoin and etherium once you clicked it

You shouldn't have to download anything additional to your computer. Make sure you're getting Ledger Live from Ledger's website ledger.com
Hello! Please make a video on how to work on stax with a code phrase (25 words)
I just filmed one because of this comment
I’m so lost, am I supposed to see my coins in the flex? Or are they just shown on ledger live?
They are only shown on ledger live. The flex can't show your coin balance because it is not connected to the internet
Ahh okay, just another question, when I transfer crypto from an exchange to my ledger live does that automatically go to the flex? It tells me to double check wallets on my flex when doing transaction but it only sometimes says authorise signature?
Have you tested it in Casa? Any issues?
Haven’t tried it - here are Casa’s supported devices: support.casa.io/knowledge/supported-platforms-and-hardware-device-firmware
Thanks for covering the mobile vs. desktop right off the top. I watched the 3 min set-up from Ledger and it was so lame...no explanation about it - just showed setting up with mobile.
Yeah they should be a little more clear about that stuff. It was frustrating to set it up on mobile and then not be able to sync to desktop
He talks about using it on a desktop computer my question is can I use it on my laptop
Yes
Yes
Where are the link's?
The intern forgot to add them (he’s fired) adding them now
Why didnt they make the Flex in colour? so they can make the Flex 2 in colour later? sigh
I doubt they’ll make a screen with color.
8:38 2 months later. Anyone using that wallet?
It's going to be the standard going forward. It's probably the most opted for wallet for newcomers IMO
hang on a bit Rhett. You said Ledger was absolutely no good . Now you are promoting it!!?
When did I say that?
Talking W A Y too fast.
