Helfen Sie mir, den Unterschied zu verstehen.

Sagen wir, ich habe 20 Münzen, die ich in den nächsten 3-5 Jahren halten will, aber ich mag keine Börsen, also beschließe ich, sie in einer privaten Geldbörse zu speichern.

Aber aus irgendeinem Grund möchte ich nicht Ledger verwenden, da ich Software-Wallet mit Google-Authentifizierung als sicher und funktionsfähiger finde. Ich wähle also etwas wie [crypto.com](https://crypto.com/) Defi-Wallet. Ich kaufe einen USB-Stick und installiere die Wallet dort, schreibe meine privaten Schlüssel auf und nehme den USB-Stick heraus.

**Hypothetische Situation:** Ich komme in 5 Jahren zurück, aber Defi Wallet würde nicht mehr funktionieren, aber ich habe immer noch den USB-Stick mit Wallet installiert und meine privaten Schlüssel. Wenn ich es also richtig verstehe, sind meine Kryptos nicht in der Wallet (Hardware oder Software) oder im Ledger gespeichert. Sie befinden sich auf der Blockchain und meine in der Wallet gespeicherten Schlüssel sind nur der Zugang zu ihr? Wenn also die von mir gewählte Software-Wallet BIP39 wie der Ledger unterstützt. Wäre ich in der Lage, meine Kryptowährung über eine andere Wallet wiederherzustellen?

Wenn ja, welchen Sinn hat es dann, so etwas wie einen Hardware-Ledger zu haben, wenn ich einfach den Satz aufschreiben und eine beliebige Software-Wallet wählen kann, die BIP39 unterstützt?

Vielen Dank für Erklärungen Jungs.

So yeah the “wallet” doesn’t actually hold your money, it’s more of your window into your account on the blockchain. The 12-24 recovery words are your key to the funds. If you have those 12 words, you can uninstall the wallet app, etc. In 3-5 years, use those words to log into just about any standard wallet, hardware or software, and interact with your coins.

Why would you use a hardware wallet? Well they are safer vs software wallets. If you have the [Crypto.com](https://Crypto.com) DeFi Android app for example, in *theory*, a malicious app on your phone could somehow get into the CDC DeFi wallet and send your coins elsewhere. Especially with DeFi/web3 where you’re interacting with websites, it can be smart to use a hardware wallet to avoid your app or Metamask Chrome extension, for example, from being compromised.

Obviously, software wallets are designed to be as resistant to attack as possible. And Android (and iOS) are too designed with the intent of separating data between apps. Desktop OS’s are a bit more loosey-goosey in terms of apps being able to interfere with other apps, but even software wallets on computers use encryption to attempt to avoid bad actors.

Typically the encryption is good enough that malicious software goes after other avenues of attack, such as reading/writing from your clipboard whenever you copy/paste an address. Even on phones, a more common attack is using the phone’s accessibility permissions to actually simulate a user doing a withdraw in app vs using a zero-day exploit to break through the partitioned data.

Anyways, in your situation if you intend to literally not interact with your coins whatsoever, other than just sending more to the wallet, you can totally just store your 12-24 words and then uninstall your wallet app completely. I’d recommend coming up with some type of redundancy plan, to avoid a house fire from destroying your phrase. There is no getting your money back if you lose those 12 words.

Options that might be a better fit for you:

* A steel phrase holder, I think a popular brand is “billfodl” but there are cheaper options as well if you’re willing to put up with some more hassle in entering your words. Some have you just like mallet in the letters for example. This would survive a flood/fire, but downside is you can’t just leave these at friends/family or laying about because it’s your words, in plain text.
* Some type of encrypted USB drive or storage would let you leave a copy at a family member’s. You can use software encryption, like Disk Utility on macOS to encrypt or make a disk image for any standard USB drive. Alternatively, you can get a drive with built in hardware encryption, such as a [Apricorn 4GB Aegis Secure Key](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08D3JY9ZS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). But these would be vulnerable to flood/fire.

I don’t mean to endorse any specific brand, DYOR into finding the best option for yourself. I will say that when you do end up returning to your coins, consider a hardware wallet such as Trezor at that point. Or even use a Trezor to create your initial wallet, as it avoids your computer or phone ever knowing your phrase at all. Some paranoid (in a good way) people would argue creating the wallet with the CDC DeFi app is already too much risk, even if you intend to uninstall.

One reason to use a hardware wallet is to prevent your computer from ever seeing your private keys. A hardware wallet isn’t a special flash drive; it is its own computer that can keep data secret (your private keys) away from your computer. This means it’s not possible for malware or a mistake on your computer to expose your private keys to others.

The advantage of a hardware wallet is merely added security.

Google Authenticator works on a useraccount based level, what happens if the website itself gets hacked? It could be bye bye coins regardless whether you used Google Authenticator which works only against brute force password attacks.

Just buy a hardware wallet, its well worth the investment.
