Hardware wallet first hour

The first hour teaches the habits that matter later.

Unbox, verify, initialise — without letting a YouTube tab drive.

Buy from a source you trust. Inspect packaging. Initialise on a device you control — never a ‘pre-set’ unit from a stranger.

Write the seed offline. Do not photograph it. Confirm the device’s authenticity steps from official docs you typed.

Practice a tiny receive and send before migrating serious balances.

If a video asks you to enter the seed on a computer to ‘check,’ stop. That is the opposite of the product.
