📱 ZachXBT: A Dedicated iPhone May Be Safer Than a Hardware Wallet
🕵️♂️ Blockchain investigator ZachXBT sparked debate after calling hardware wallets "useless junk," saying he doesn't recommend them for either signing transactions or storing crypto.
Instead, he argues that a dedicated iPhone used exclusively as a crypto wallet can offer stronger real-world security. An isolated device with no everyday use may reduce attack surfaces and attract less attention than a recognizable hardware wallet. 🤔
Of course, opinions on wallet security vary, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. But the discussion is a good reminder that operational security (OpSec) often matters just as much as the wallet itself.
