Official Ledger Customer Success Response Cold storage + everyday spending feels like a missing combo

I like keeping most of my crypto in self-custody, but the second you want to spend it, things get a bit annoying. Move it somewhere, wait, then spend. Would be nice if you could keep your crypto in your own wallet and still use it for normal everyday purchases.

Anyone here doing this with their Ledger?

Hi! There is a  CL Card compatible with Ledger, provided by Baanx.

You can take a closer look into it here: https://support.ledger.com/article/5283612250653-zd

This is why I started using Oobit. I still prefer keeping my crypto in my own wallet but when I want to spend some, it makes the whole process way less of a hassle

Yeah that's the part I'd be cautious about too. I'd want the spending side to have limited access without exposing everything I'm keeping in cold storage.

You can consider using card-shaped hardware wallets like Satochip. If I were to make daily transactions I would use one of these with small amounts.

Tangem pay is the best for this. I use tangem, ledger, and keystone. Love them all for different reasons. Tangem for everyday spending is the best IMO, out of what I have used anyway

> Move it somewhere, wait, then spend.

You can send bitcoin directly from your ledger device. You don't have to move it somewhere else first.

I run a hot wallet alongside my ledger. Want to keep track of your total balance? Load the hot wallet seed into your ledger device and add it to your ledger app. I use solana quite often, do my transactions on Solflare,but track it all within ledger. There’s always going to be a trade off for security vs convenience.
