What is the Trezor One White or Black?

To answer that question we must first start off talking about my favorite subject... Yes, you guessed it! Crypto! I am constantly talking about how to make crypto online or other ways of making money online. I thought it was about time that I talk about how to protect what you gain online for a small investment.

The current price of the Trezor One Black is $55.00 I have recently ordered it which is what inspired this short article. I plan on doing an usability review within the next 3 weeks after I receive my wallet in the mail.

Why did I choose Trezor One Black?

I don't personally have a major amount of crypto that I want to store. I plan on using my Trezor One Black in order to store the Crypto's I believe have a shot at competing with Bitcoin one day.

I would rather be able to store my crypto with reputable companies and earn interest payments for doing so. However not all cryptos can be staked or accumulate interest beyond price fluctuations.

The major reason I decided to go with the Trezor One Black was because of the fact it supports over 1,000 Crypto's. The price tag isn't too outrageous either. Ultimately it comes down to security as well.

Where is the safest place to store crypto?

The safest place to store crypto since the conception of crypto has always been in an offline wallet. Think about it? You can't hack a device that isn't connected to the internet.

This makes storing and holding crypto so much safer. You do still have to worry about the possibility that someone could steal your device. That is a risk we all take even when we carry paper currency.

What does it look like?

Below are some of the factory photos, once mine arrives I will add actual photo's of my device.

The technical details from the manufactures themselves.

Use without risk

Bitcoin is secure by design. All you need is a tool to use it without risk.
All you need is your own Trezor wallet.

Secured

Leave behind the viruses and key loggers. Forget about doing regular backups, reading encryption manuals, printing paper wallets and making offline storage. Next time you see another 10+ steps guide to secure your bitcoins, just skip reading it.

Reinforce your accounts with U2F.

Trezor One can also serve as your U2F hardware token. Ordinary security tokens lack a display, which means that you can never be certain about what you are approving. Trezor utilizes its Trusted Display to fully inform you about the authentication request before you approve it, by displaying the service you are logging in to.

My Final Thoughts!

I am anxiously awaiting my Trezor One Black to arrive in the mail so I can get it set up and loaded with some crypto to keep it safe. I enjoy the fact that I can plug it directly into my laptop.

I would one day when I have the money like to invest in the Trezor Model T with the touchscreen capabilities. For now with my financial situation the Trezor One Black is more then what I will ever need personally.

I will be able to rest assured that at least part of my crypto holdings are offline safely put away from the rest of the internet.

As always Thank you for reading. I hope this article is enough to get you thinking about the security of your crypto and how to protect yourself from theft. God Bless and Stay Healthy!
