🚨DON'T travel with your crypto! Hardware wallets are not always TSA or Customs friendly... Your wallet can be confiscated. You can be forced to open your accounts. The goal is to avoid that entire scenario. Here's what I've learned after traveling with crypto...

No chance of them confiscating a Tangem wallet!

Very unlikely

I carry fake ones with like $50 in them on purpose

Lolz nice. Or just use the tips in this video and you don’t have to do that anymore 👍

I can tell without even watching the video for travel or anything @Tangem wallet and ring are the best options

@Tangem Absolutely both great options as well as other card wallets

Tangem card in your wallet with your other cc cards etc seems like a no brainer for every other method though...😬

This

Nothing like having twelve words memorized. No hardware required. Cross any border completely naked with all your money.

IDK man, seems overblown. I've travelled with various hardware wallets through TSA many times & never once did they even ask about them. Worst case scenario, say they confiscate the wallet. So what? (Sucks to be out $70, but that's about it). Your seed + passphrase is your coin.

Awesome content always

Thanks brotha

Never use the "standard" wallet. Setup your hardware wallet and never use the standard wallet ever. Go straight to setting up a passphrase wallet/s and transacting only in them ever again. Then even if you have to log in to the wallet with the TSA, you can say "I just got it... I haven't actually used it yet". There is no digital trail whatsoever that a passphrase wallet/s ever existed. Ensure your passphrase is a long randomly generated one, such as a 100+ bit 11 word EFF short list etc. Learn to memorise your seeds and your passphrase and recall it quietly in your mind daily. You are welcome.

Or hide your keys in the metadata of a PNG or MP4 file.

This would require you to store your keys on an internet connected device re-introducing the very risk hardware wallets protect you from.

glad that found you on twitter too, beside youtube

Absolutely! Thanks for your multi platform support 👍

Great Video! We know a way to easily and securely travel with your stack 😏

I travel with mine all the time. 0 problems...

🚨Before traveling with crypto, check my Crypto Travel Risk Guide:

You’ve done the most stupidest thing by posting this. Now, you’re giving them an opportunity to check for it by posting this video. Do you people ever use your brains before speaking? Now it if any agent sees this they can make people wait longer for checking for this.

I put mine in the same plastic bin with my credit card wallet and phone. Never had an issue.

Why do you put those items in the bin? That’s a better question. Keep that ish in your bag

Wallets are safer on your person than not. When traveling, it’s in my pocket. I’ve put my wallet in the bin 100+ times while traveling and have never been asked about it, not even once. No one knows what it is, or those who do don’t care. I’ve had zero issues.

Or you could bring a disassembled seedsigner, and have really small seedqr stashed, alot easier to hide.

I like to keep things simple. Not add complexity

TLDW. Long winded way of saying: Use a trezor with paraphrase. Expose your standard wallet it “forced” to with a few k on that. Done

Hot wallet on a phone

Nah. I don’t keep crypto on hot wallets.

@7EventHorizon Your crypto is not in hardware or software wallets, it’s onchain. You can travel with your seed (remove and change few words and passphrase and memorize those). Then you can temporarily use any wallet, it’s just a user interface.

@7EventHorizon I understand that I don’t keep keys that control my crypto in software apps on internet connected devices Aka, I don’t keep crypto in hot wallets

Coconut Vault could make airport travel a lot less stressful.

Ya should have a @calebandbrown acct as well as a few different style cold wallets

Use @oisy

Don't make drama. Use passphrase and you can unlock it to them and they can see $0 in wallet. Or move $1 there

hahahahaha

Leave the hard wallet and just bring your pass phrase

The seed phrase? That’s an even greater risk

Not the full phrase. If can’t remember all 24 words bring 20 words remember 5

If someone sees that and knows it’s part of a seed phrase, they can easily snap a pic and figure out the other 5 words using AI Unless you’re moving, traveling with your seed makes no sense at all

Could you just use a hot wallet?

You definitely can if you keep crypto on hot wallets. I don’t

You can take a newly packaged ledger or trezor with you Even if they’re seizing it (which they won’t) they’ll only be seizing unused hardware When you reach your destination punch your seed in, access your device, do what you have to do, then destroy it before you return home

This would require you to travel with your seed phrase. Which is a greater risk.

I memorize my seed phrase, but for the person that can’t there are clever ways to travel with your seed phrase without storing it on a device

Store your seed in your head bro. Just buy a new hw wallet at your destination

You need a wallet with an autodestruction code like the trezor's 7 and fuck the state, tho don't pull that off with the cartel

Traveling with Cold Cards like the DCENT S are the way to go. They won't question you if it's in your wallet and looks like a debit card.

@vultisig is what you need

Just use software wallets with prefunded amounts. Never travel with your all assets. Internet banking access too. Very easy target for extortion

If someone tells me to show them my phone or computer, I just turn around and go on a flight back. If not allowed, I would smash the computer in front of them. Not even my boyfriends check my pc or phone, def not a stranger will

i've never once been asked about mine. 20 to 30 flights in the past few years

Amazing alpha and info here 🔥

You can literally memorize your seed phrases and access your crypto anywhere so I don’t understand why people are so scared about cold wallets when you can just do what I said

Going to test this, going to carry a wallet with 10 XRP on it. See what happens
