Good sir, you must know that’s the last thing I’d do. Note my OP, I convinced my friend to sell all her “crypto” for Bitcoin and buy a cold card. She downright refused to sell the Monero (and fwiw I’m not all that convinced that Monero is a shitcoin... from my limited knowledge, it strikes me as a bit closer to cash in terms of default privacy, at least under certain threat models. A strong contrast to some silly/scammy token that ignorant people buy into, to increase their fiat net worth. But that’s a different discussion, lol)
In any case, and regardless of the above, since she was choosing to hold some, I really really don’t want her using Ledger Live for it. My understanding is that Ledger tracks every action, click, balance, etc., that one does in their app. So for someone I care about, who is using Monero for its privacy benefits, I worry about her compromising her security.
I save in Bitcoin. I encourage my friends to do the same, and to sell everything else, any time they ask. And plenty of times when they don’t 😉
But I worry that *not* talking about general best practices when relevant - usually due to social fear around discussing “he-who-must-not-be-named” (ie anything that isn’t Bitcoin) — will put people we care about in situations they can avoid.
Ya get what I mean?
Also, love you too homie 🫂
