Because of the security risks stated above, I don't use software wallets on my computer, except for when I use them in combination with hardware wallets. For this, I use Sparrow or the hardware manufacturer's native software.

* [Coldcard (for tech-savvy users)](https://anita.link/coldcard) - Coinkite https://anita.link/coldcard

The Coldcard is different to the other models because it is an air-gapped device - it can be used without ever being connected to a computer. That's why some people refer to it as cold-cold storage, being even more secure. For novices, I recommend one of the first three company's devices.

Never buy a hardware wallet from strangers on eBay or Amazon, and of course, don't buy it second hand. Always purchase it directly from the manufacturer's website, the manufacturer's Amazon page or a dealer you trust. Make sure that the device is sealed as stated on the manufacturer's website. Most of the recommended devices above have tamper-evident packaging to make sure that the device is used for the first time and has not been manipulated. Ledger deliberately chooses not to use anti-tamper seals on its packaging because they can potentially be counterfeited. Genuine Ledger devices contain a secure chip that prevents physical tampering and allows users to verify the software and hardware integrity using Ledger's guides. In any case: no manufacturer is sending the seed with the device!

## Content Creators and Podcasting 2.0
With the advent of the Lightning Network, a truly groundbreaking new method of sending value and paying for content on the internet has been invented. Streaming money, a term coined by Andreas M. Antonopoulos, enables musicians, video creators and podcasters to earn money in real-time, without intermediaries. You only need a wallet that has podcasts integrated, a little bit of bitcoin and you can start listening while paying by the minute. The goal of Podcasting 2.0 and streaming money is to free content creators and the audience from ads, censorship and surveillance. Paying is voluntary, with no subscription fees and no prepayment. Be aware that at the time of writing these are all services in constant development. More about the [background of podcasting 2.0 in an interview](https://anita.link/pod2) with me at https://anita.link/pod2.
