Welcome back to Crypto Info Blockchain

Made Easy with your host Frank the

Cryptotank. Guys, please tap that like

and subscribe down below if you don't

mind. Please don't forget to tap our

Caleb link down below as well. Today

we're unboxing the Ledger Nano X. Let's

go ahead and do this thing. We're going

to show you step by step how to set this

puppy up. All right. Okay. So, here we

have a Ledger Nano X in the box. Okay.

I've already unboxed this one, but make

sure that when you purchase your Ledger

Nano X that you're purchasing it only

from ledger.com or you can use our

affiliate link down below. It's safe.

Takes you directly to their website. And

you want to make sure that it's not been

tampered with as well. Like I said, I've

opened this one, but you want to make

sure the plastic is sealed and you're

not purchasing it on an Amazon or

anything like that. You're only getting

it from ledger.com or our trusted link

down below. Now, you're going to

eventually, and I'll get to it in just a

bit here, download Ledger Live in order

to operate with this. And that's going

to be on your laptop device. Okay. You

want to make sure that you download

Ledger Live only from leedger.com. Okay.

So, what we're going to do is open up

the box. Make sure that it's, like I

said, not been tampered with in any way,

shape, or form. Break the seal. Open it

up. Now, this metal plate does not come

with it. I highly recommend that along

with jotting down your 24word seed

phrase on a card that does come with the

ledger in the box that you also

due to potential water damage and other

potential issues with the paper that you

engrave it on. And I have it covered so

you can't see my seed phrases. If you

lose your seed phrase, of course, you

lose access to your crypto. Now, if

somebody else gets your seed phrase,

they can steal your crypto. We've

covered this in other episodes, so be

very, very careful. This is crucial.

This will protect against fire and water

damage and things like this. I highly

recommend you keep your wallet and your

seed phrase in a fireproof and

waterproof safe. And also, you know,

perhaps a safety deposit box at the

bank. Some people don't like that.

Multiple loces is probably a good idea.

Guys, remember this is not financial

advice. All of these things have to be

learned on your own. I am not

responsible for your decisions

concerning your wallet or what may

happen to your crypto. This is simply

for educational andformational purposes

only and just a little bit of

entertainment. I hope this is helping

you understand the wallet thus far.

Please tap that like and subscribe down

below.

Guys, let's continue. Here's what else

is in the box. All right guys, what

comes in the box? You have a USBC cable

here. You also have the actual ledger

device itself, which is a nice hard

metal protected. When you flip skier

open little switchblade, you have your

lovely device. If I wanted to go connect

it, I would do like so.

Okay, so here is your paper recovery

sheet.

Okay,

I highly recommend you back that up with

the metal engraved version. You can get

it for 20 bucks on Amazon. A metal

engraver in these, maybe 20, 25 bucks

total. And go ahead and engrave it in

here as my recommendation. Okay? Do not

lose your 24word

seed phrase, recovery phrase. Whatever

you do, do not give this recovery phrase

to anybody. A word to the wise

concerning cryptocurrency

wallets and proper storage.

No exchange is ever, nor am I, nor is

any other YouTube content creator on X

or YouTube or any other platform ever

going to contact you and ask you to send

us your wallet address, your seed

phrase, and your crypto. And then we'll

go ahead and double it for you. Never

fall for any of these things. Folks,

these entities are not going to be

calling you on the telephone, nor are

they going to be contacting you out of

the blue to verify anything uh via email

like some scams come through for Uphold.

Be very careful, folks. Okay, that all

of that out of the way concerning safety

with the wallet, folks. You then are

going to create your four character PIN.

Do not give this to anybody. You will

always need this. Please remember this.

This is going to be needed to open your

wallet each time either it goes dark on

the screen which it does time out which

is a nice security feature. Also, if

it's turned off, you want to turn it on.

You have to know this fourdigit

code. So, do not forget and do not give

anybody this four-digit code because you

will frequently need it to reopen your

wallet. Okay. Step two, you're going to

download Ledger Live from your desktop.

Okay. Now you're going to initialize the

Ledger Nano X. You're going to actually

turn on the device by pressing and

holding the right button next to the USB

port. So that's here

until the Ledger logo appears on the

front. And once it does, you're ready to

go. You're going to follow the

instructions on the screen. Okay. So now

you're going to press both buttons

together to secure your selection. Okay.

Anytime you want to select anything,

that is the way you do it. You actually

press both buttons at the same time. Now

on Ledger Live, step number three,

you're going to choose setup as new

device. Now step number four, you're

going to actually create that fourdigit

PIN. Guys, in this whole process, please

do not forget your Faraday bag. Yes,

will protect you from solar flares, from

any other type of EMP that can fry

something like a cold storage wallet.

And it holds your cold storage wallets.

Please do not forget the Faraday bag,

named after the scientist who created

the technology. Please check her out.

Okay. Now, it's crucial that you never

take any photos or store your seed

phrase digitally, nor your fourdigit

PIN. Never do that. Always have it

manually written down somewhere

protected in a fireproof waterproof safe

is what I always recommend. Please do

not take a photo of it with your phone

or store it digitally. It can

potentially be intercepted at some

point. You don't want that, guys. Step

four, you want to write down your

recovery phrase. The device is now going

to show you 24 words. This is your

recovery phrase or seed phrase that you

never give to anybody and you keep in a

super safe place. If you lose this, you

lose access to your actual cold storage

wallet. Somebody gets this, they can

steal all your crypto. Okay, so now the

device is going to ask you to confirm

the words randomly.

Now, I've told you before, don't ever

lose these seed phrase words. If someone

else gets them, that's it. So, step

five, guys, you want to connect the

Ledger to the Ledger Live. So, that's

connecting the Ledger itself to the

Ledger Live app on your laptop. And

here's how we do it. So, you go, and I'm

not going to physically show you. I

don't want to show you access to my

personal things here. You're going to go

into Ledger Live. You're going to click

get started. You're going to step two

click select your device Ledger Nano X.

You're going to choose for step three

setup as new device and follow the

onscreen steps to number one pair your

device using USB or Bluetooth. I like

USB. I feel like it's safer rather than

the Bluetooth. Number one, you're going

to go into the manager tab. Number two,

you're going to install apps for each

crypto. for example, like Bitcoin,

Ethereum, XRP, etc. that you'd like to

go ahead and load up on Ledger Nano X.

I've been asked many times in the

comments section if XDC can be loaded

onto Ledger Nano X, and it can. Okay.

Number three, once installed, go to

accounts, add account, and select a

crypto to add. Number four, open the

corresponding app. Okay, guys, step

seven. This is so exciting. You've done

it. You've gotten this far.

Congratulations. You're now going to

receive crypto into the actual cold

storage wallet. Now, number one, in

Ledger Live, you're going to go to

accounts and select the account. You're

going to click receive. Number two,

choose the crypto asset you want to

receive. Number three, open the app on

the Ledger device itself, for example,

XRP. Okay. Number four, you're going to

verify that the address shown on your

Ledger screen matches your Ledger Live.

Number five, use that address to

transfer funds into the cold storage

wallet. Very simple. You're all set now,

guys. You've done it, guys. Your Ledger

Nano X is now a fully functioning cold

storage wallet. Congratulations. Nice

job. This means that your private keys

are now stored offline, protected from

internet hacks. Now, remember, your

cryptocurrency is not stored in the

actual wallet itself, okay? It's on the

blockchain. This device has your keys

that allow the interface or the access

to your actual crypto that is stored on

the blockchain. So, please understand

this. That's how this works. Okay. Pro

tips. Only purchase the wallet once

again from ledger.com or use our trusted

link down below.

It is safe. Only download Ledger Live

from Ledger.com only. Never share your

24word seed phrase. Sometimes it's 12.

Never share that or your PIN with anyone

ever. Guys, Ledger Live also has a buy,

sell, or swap feature to transact

safely. Please check that out as well.

Another pro tip. And always store

everything in a fireproof and waterproof

safe. Please don't trust anybody with

your cryptocurrency seed phrases or your

PIN or your wallet. Keep everything

super safe, guys. Never respond to any

fishing attempts. Please keep everything

ultra safe and you'll be fine in the

world of cryptocurrency storage. Welcome

to becoming your own bank. Guys, I hope
