so a brand new Cold Storage wallet has been released by Ledger but we'll actually make things any easier let's take a look so Ledger released a brand new Cold Storage wallet in December called Stacks the wallet was apparently designed by iPhone co-creator Tony Fidel so definitely looks nice and it's a big step up from the crappy looking USB sticks that we're used to but does it actually make the process of storing cryptos any easier first up it looks like it's got touch screen display which is definitely easier than those buttons on the older devices actually it almost looks like an Amazon Kindle type touchscreen it's like purely black and white and therefore extends the battery life of the device that it's on and having a touchscreen will definitely make the process of orchestrating transactions a lot easier rather than using those tiny little screens that are on the old devices apparently it's also credit card shaped and because of magnets in the body you can have multiple stacks and stack them together although I don't know why you would want to do that surely most of us just want one device not several of these things

So some of you may be out there wondering if you can buy Bitcoin without an exchange and the answer to this is yes with all of the questions spiraling around crypto exchanges right now you may be sitting there wondering well do I actually have to use an exchange to buyBitcoin and in reality when you break it down all that you need to buy Bitcoin is someone that is willing to sell it of course it needs to be at the same price that you're willing to pay for it and exchange is complete this using a centralized order book it's justSomething that orders all of the different transactions and all the different orders that are coming from those willing to buy and those willing to sell but in reality that could be done between two individuals but you just need that level of trust between the two individuals if you didn't wantTo use crypto exchange another alternative is a peer-to-peer exchange platform I understand it they act as a middleman between individuals that are wishing to buy and sell however instead of like a centralized order book where there's just thousands of transactions you get to pick who you are willing toBuy and sell with the peer-to-peer platform then acts a bit like escrow and holds the funds until both parties are happy with the transaction once Bitcoin is being transferred and is also being paid for both parties can walk away
