How can we more easily and securely protect our crypto many of us have learned the hard way that leaving our crypto on mobile apps and exchanges which are connected to the internet is not smart and could result in our crypto being easily lost or stolen after someResearch and testing out some new and interesting wallets I found a wallet that can very easily and securely store my crypto hello and welcome to Swang Castle crypto and in this crypto guide we're going to explore the treasure Model T Hardware wallet stay tuned because later in this video I'm going toGive away three treasure wallets to Lucky three of you for free the treasure Model T features a nice 1.54 in color LCD touchscreen it's lightweight and fits easily in your hand and I find it much easier to enter PIN numbers and review crypto addresses Than The LedgerNano X it's widely considered one of the most secure Hardware wallets available built with completely open source software you can even look at the source code yourself on their GitHub page your seed fright is stored only on the device with no online backups so you're not entrusting a company to keep your cryptoSafe which in my opinion is very important when pick piing a crypto wall treas of the company is a wellestablished name in the crypto industry founded 10 years ago in 2013 they're headquartered in the Czech Republic so it's nice to see that they're not China based as I personallyHave a hard time trusting a Communist dictatorship with my money look he is I me dictor in the sense that a guy country that is their Model T wallet currently supports over 8,000 cryptocurrency tokens which that list continues to grow each day most of the top 100 coins areSupported but it does currently lack support for many of the coins we earn through the miners I review on this channel but that's also to be expected given most of those coins are still micro cap coins so maybe someday a subscriber reached out to me a coupleWeeks ago about their demo hot wallet being completely drained via a Sim swap attack which was really sad to see Now demo is supported by treasure if you want to prevent that from happening to you too the treasure Model T is currently priced at $219 they do have a Black Friday saleGoing on now which you can pick up the wallet for 30% % off that sale is only going through Monday November 27th 2023 so if you're watching this video after the 27th which you probably are you can use my promo code swan in all caps underVoucher in your cart and that'll get you 5% off your order now I know that price is out of some people's price range for what they're willing to spend for a hardware wallet so treasure does offer two lower price options the treasure model one and their new treasure safe3Both support most all the same coins as the Model T the big difference in these devices is they feature a two button pad instead of the high-end touchcreen so both good lower-end options in my opinion now also always make sure you purchase any crypto wallet directly from the wallet manufacturer that means noAmazon eBay or Facebook Marketplace I don't care if it's a little cheaper on those places don't do it buying from any of those places opens you up to potentially purchasing a compromised wallet and getting all your crypto stolen I'll put a link to treaser official website in the descriptionBelow let's open the box and see what's inside including the box is the treasure Model T Hardware wallet a USBC cable a card to write your recovery seat phrase on a startup guide a magnetic dock which you can use to discreetly hide your device like possibly on the top of aDrawer they also include some stickers which I properly threw away I think advertising that you own a hardware wallet is so dumb and you're just asking to get robbed now when you receive your device there should be a strip covering the USBC port on your Hardware walletThis was placed on there by treaser to ensure that no one has tampered with your device before you received it if you're missing this or it looks like it's been tampered with don't use the wallet and contact treasure otherwise you can peel it off when you receive itNext plug in the USBC cable into your treaser device and the other end into the USB port of your Windows or Apple PC next go to the website treasure. Click app and select the treasure suite for the your type of computer in my case I was installing on a MacBook Pro with anM1 chip now it may take a few minutes to download depending on your internet speed but once the download finishes open up the file in my case I need to add the treasure Suite app to my application folder next open up the treasure Suite app it should recognizeYour wallet you've connected to your computer it asks you to confirm some Security checks if everything is okay you click set up my treasure next it will install the latest firmware on your treasure device in my case the latest version as of filming this video was version2.6.0 this only took about 60 seconds to complete once it's completed click continue It'll ask if you want to create a new wallet or back up an existing wallet with a recovery seat in my case I will be creating a new wallet so I'll click create new wallet and you have anOption to do a standard seed backup or an advanced Shamir backup for added security I'll be installing a standard seed backup on my wallet you'll need to confirm that option on your treaser device next you'll be backing up your seed phrase confirm that you understand the instructions then you'll copy theSeed phrase displayed on your wallet onto a piece of paper just make sure you keep this seed phrase safe don't share it with to anyone don't put a copy of it online these are literally the keys to your crypto wallet treaser will then askYou to set up a pin for your device to protect it in case someone gets access to your physical wallet next It'll ask you to activate which coins you want to show in the Treasure Suite app this can be modified later on so it's not super important on which coins you pick nowI'll select a few here and that's it all set up in a few short clicks this was much easier than a lot of other wallets I've tested next let's do a quick test transaction to show how easy it is to use we'll click the receive button atThe top of the treasure Suite app in this case I'll be test moving a little Bitcoin onto my treasure wallet copy the full wallet address or scan the QR code then enter that wall address onto the wallet you'll be sending that balance from now I'm not going to show thatWallet on screen now just for privacy purposes and depending on network congestion a few minutes later you should receive your Bitcoin in your wallet it really is a very simple process I've enjoyed using my treaser wallet for the month I've had it so far found it very easy and intuitive to useIt gives me peace of mind knowing my crypto is safe now although it is on the pricer end compared to some other wallets currently available on the market it is nice that they do have some lower cost wallet options available and speaking of which the treasure team reached out to meRecently and asked if I wanted to do a little giveaway for you I said of course my viewers love free stuff so they agreed to give away three of their treasure model one wallets to three of you watching this video now this is the lower-end model not the Model T butStill a great wallet in my opinion so how we'll do this is all you'll have to do to enter is to like this video and comment on this video with the word one somewhere in your comment two weeks after publishing this video I'll select three comments at random and announceThe winners on a community post so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss that once three winners have claimed their prizes hopefully on the first try this time I'll collect the Winner's mailing addresses and send them to treaser so they can send the wallet directly to you I will never havePhysical access to the Winner's wallets not that I would steal anyone's crypto anyways good luck everyone now if treasure is in the wall for you and you're looking for other Hardware wallet options check out this wallet comparison video I did over here thanks for watching bye
