Ballet Ethereum Cold Storage Wallet Card - Stainless Steel, No Battery

Since the beginning, January 3rd 2009, when Nakamoto mined the starting block of the chain, known as the genesis block, we all knew hardware and software wallets were susceptible to hackers and now backdoors to user passwords, which is what ultimately lead me to research alternative wallet service providers and found Ballet in February 2023. I was always intrigued by paper wallets and the idea to have 100% control of my assets instead of relying on third party services. But then there was the naysayers on YouTube and Reddit (mostly affiliate mouthpieces from hardware and software wallet companies) that gave paper wallets a bad name. Then Ballet revolutionized the already existing idea behind paper wallets by applying on beautiful metal cards, encrypted private keys, tamper-evident scratch-offs and stickers, Ballet logo and seals, serial numbers, ultraviolet Invisible Ink, and we can’t forget that QR code sticker coated with a substance that releases a special Ballet fragrance when scratched gently. With all that security in mind, the founder and CEO Bobby Lee (not the comedian😂) is a world recognized name with huge success as CEO of China's first cryptocurrency exchange BTCC, vice chair of the board of the Bitcoin Foundation, VP of Technology at Walmart, China e-Commerce, CTO and SVP at BesTV New Media, Shanghai Media Group (SMG), Director of Software Engineering at EMC, China Center of Excellence;Sr. Engineering Manager at Yahoo, Software Engineer (Internship) at Silicon Spice, Software Development Engineer (Internship) at Microsoft, and Software Research Engineer (Internship) at International Business Machines. His education alone far exceeds my expectations, so no need to discuss. Let’s not forget he’s also the brother of the great Litecoin founder Charlie Lee. My point is, I chose Ballet based on doing my on research, and with Ballet’s mission to make self-custodial crypto ownership easy and safe for everyone, I chose them over ALL available options because safety of my assets are priority. The Lee brothers have footprints all over the internet and are very easy to find with little research. In fact, I’ve found real estate owned by both brothers in US and China. These two are about as transparent as they come, unlike the many faces hiding behind them supposedly reputable hardware and software wallet companies. My entire life has focused on being able to hold ppl accountable for their actions/mistakes, and that’s what makes me sleep better at night knowing accountability is within arms reach. The United States along with other countries are cracking down on exchanges, pushing for regulation, handing out hefty prison sentences for scammers, in preparation for the big ETF explosions that will change everything for the good. I’m just another Ballet customer not paid to say anything mentioned above, just wanted to share my experience thus far with Ballet, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to absolutely anyone. Ballet is an obvious no-brainer, for ANYONE wanting to store crypto safely and securely. If you could see my 💰💰💰💰💰of crypto stored on Ballet cards, you would understand my trust for Ballet over ALL.😎

In the same way your checkbook is secure in a desk drawer or briefcase, e.g., don't lose it!, this novel crypto wallet seems to be secure without passwords or other hindrances. Although 1 wallet will accept (almost) any type of crypto coin, the coin stamped on the card it the "primary" coin. I purchased 4 wallets (BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC) to hold each coin type and provide a bit of security against loss or compromise by spreading the coins between 4 different wallets. The app works well, is intuitive, and the "gas" and coin-to-coin "exchange" fees are far cheaper than I've experienced with internationally known web exchanges.

Super easy to use and give. Easy to add funds without opening the package or exposing the private key.

Amazon decided to nix my last review, because maybe it wasn't totally favorable of this item that must sell well for them, so I had to do a little sprucing up. First of all I kind of like this cold wallet even though you need to remember "not your key, not your crypto" as these cards already come with a preset key, who really knows how many people have had access to it by the time it gets to me. Also didn't like the fact that the customs officer decided to unseal the box it came it, though the card itself was not tampered with, Finally there seems to be a printing error in the memo section on back (looks like a blob). However, there are a lot of cryptos you can add to this wallet, though I hope more ERC20 tokens find their way there as I don't use Binance and my ADA (for example) is ERC20 and not BEP20, which is the only option for this card. I plan on using the card to store most of my tokens on, as it's much more easier and functional than my Ledger S, though certainly not as secure. Also the card is quite heavy and something I would not carry in my wallet, but they do provide you a nice plastic case to store it in.

Product received in an excellent condition and with awesome packaging

Makes storing crypto unhackable

Awesome love it

I bought this as a gift. I thought it contained already $35 worth of Etherium. Instead $35 is just for the physical card. This makes a stupid gift idea. On top of this, I tried to add funds after I received it and it does NOT work. in NY! This should have been specified! USELESS

Having this in my hands safer than on broker or exchange

Customer service is fast and helpful and while not the most secure cold storage wallet, it is convenient and always looks good. It would be nice if there was a way of reclaiming the private key in case of loss or theft. An almost perfect product that belongs in everyone's wallet.

Ich habe diese Karte in der App hinzugefügt hat alles super funktioniert 👍

Contentos con la compra, a ver si sube DOT y nos quita de pobres

El producto es de excelente calidad y no hay problemas con ese tema. voy iniciando en el mundo de las criptomonedas y compre en total 3 monedero para hacer pruebas para guardar algunas criptomonedas a largo plazo, El problema que veo es que la plataforma cobran tarifas demasiado altas en la transferencia de algunas criptomonedas. entre 5 y 10 %. Desconozco si es así para todos los monederos. Hay una moneda , el XRP, el cual deposite 100, y quise retirarlos , como dije , estoy haciendo pruebas. La plataforma me dice que debo tener como mínimo 20 xrp en monedero y no los podre retirar. Están secuestrados permanentemente 20 xrp en el monedero. La próxima ves leeré antes la letra pequeña. Espero les sirva esta información.
