In this Bitcoin Q&A, Andreas explains how to be sure your hardware wallet has actually deleted your mnemonic phrase.
00:00 – Does deleting a mnemonic phrase from a hardware wallet make it impossible to recover?
00:18 – In most cases, deleting means permanant deletion
00:47 – If it’s a lot of money, it’s safer to destroy the wallet
What is a Monthly Q&A Community Builder Livestream?
Once a month, Andreas answers community questions on anything related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, the Lightning Network, really anything related to open blockchains. He’s live on YouTube for about an hour, answering the best questions asked by Community Builders on Patreon, Community Members on YouTube, and anyone who shows up during the event.

I'm a simple man.
When I hear Andreas' voice, I know it's a time to BUY BITCOIN! 💪
Thank YOU Andreas ‼️👏👏👏❤️
In addition I would collect all pieces mix them with crazy glue and make a ball out of it to then be smashed again with a hammer.
Depending on the amount of money, I would repeat this process several more times.😂

Why would anyone destroy a solid wallet?
what duration of time in the microwave would provide peace of mind??
Yes but how long in the microwave? You want to erase the data but not start a fire 😉 I think Mr Robot popularized the idea of using Microwaves.
While bitcoin’s wild <price movements might seem random, they are often driven by the same fundamental catalysts as in the traditional markets. Some claim bitcoin is impervious to shocks that affect global finance; it’s a hedge against things like inflation and a sure bet against tides of uncertainty. Moves within traditional finance can boost or burn bitcoin’s price because they determine how easy it is for financial epicenters like Wall Street to invest in bitcoin..We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. This is the worst possible time in history to invest as so many don't back up their crypto assets. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 11 btc with 2.1 btc from day trading with Oliver John's Signal in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish. You can reach Oliver on ͲeIєɠɾαm👉OliverJohn10 or What'sapp✙14242621873
Have you learned some fear-mongering tactics from the MSM or what..?? mySelf and most of the ppl I know are just getting started on the Crypto journey so this does NOT help..!!
I thought hardware wallets were unhackable… otherwise, what’s the point?
