Hardware Wallets come and go, but the seeds are eternal

Hardware Wallets come and go, but the seeds are eternal

In the ancient times of 2016, hardware wallets were the new thing. Keep your private keys off your computer, they said. Bought several Ledger Nanos (original), only 4 pictured here. Now, I get the message in the Chrome app that Ledger will no longer support this product as of September 2020 -- not even in Ledger Live.

So, I'm going to have to upgrade and buy some Ledger X's. Guessing that 4 years from now it will be the Ledger Y and in 2030 the Ledger Z.

Lesson, keep the seeds safe on metal and offsite or encrypted somewhere. They should still work when aliens sift through our ruins.
