It turns out these are more ubiquitous than I originally thought so I figured maybe I would go to one.

I'm not reading anything about buying crypto to deposit directly into offline storage like a Trezor. Is this not possible?

I see them located at gas stations and pharmacies, not banks so much. Are people really bringing thousands of dollars of cash to a shady-ass gas station to do these transactions? Seems pretty dumb to put them there.

Anyway just curious what the experience has been for anyone that actually used one.

Awesome thanks. Nano X is backordered but seems the better choice?

yea i bought a nano s and then almost immediately ordered a nano x. the s can only fit a couple apps and you'll have to keep deleting and downloading them again to go through your different coins. you can always use a multicoin wallet in the meantime like trust wallet where you get to keep your own private key. metamask is good too. i keep the bulk of my crypto on a ledger and move it through different wallets like trust wallet or metamask or coinbase for some reason or other every now and again. even cash app i send bitcoin through it sometimes usually for direct payments to someone. cash app manages your key though so i don't keep any bitcoin there but its a good way to cash out bitcoin as well. but when i first got into crypto i lost a ton swapping coins back and forth it can become a habit so try not to do it. just buy some coins and hang on to them. keep some coins in a separate wallet for spending. there's places you can buy directly with bitcoin they are popping up more and more.

Yeah I'm not even trying to make money I just want something that'll hold value better than cash. Whether bitcoin or monero, stablecoin lending I've heard about too.

oh and dont buy a ledger from anywhere but ledgers website. type in the url to get there yourself doublecheck your spelling. theres modded ledgers out there built to dupe you out of your coin.

Yep I was reading about that right after your other comment. People are even dumb enough to buy them off ebay apparently.
