Device fine but the 24 words are lost? That's the dangerous one. Set up a new wallet with new words, back them up on paper or metal, then move your XRP across with a small test send first.

Which of these would catch you out? #XRP #selfcustody

Your Ledger just broke, got lost or got stolen. Is your XRP gone? 🧵

No. Your XRP lives on the XRP Ledger, not inside the device. What saves you is your 24 words. Here's what to do in each case 👇 #XRP #Ledger

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Lost or broken: buy a new one only from the official Ledger store, restore it with your 24 words, and check the same XRP address shows on the screen.

Stolen: the thief still needs your PIN, but restore anyway and move to a fresh wallet. #XRP #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

@CryptoWendyO Security warnings hit different once your XRP sits on a Ledger: no password reset can drain it and no exchange freeze can lock it. The weak spot moves to you, your 24 words and the screen you verify on. Where do yours live? #XRP #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Your new Ledger address needs 1 XRP just to exist.

That base reserve is locked, not lost. Trust lines add 0.2 XRP each. Send a small test first and check the address on the device.

"Pay to unlock it" = scammer.

Knew this?

@XrpUdate @DiegoMYellow Ready starts with where your XRP sits. If it's still on an exchange, the move is your own Ledger, 24 words on paper, and the address checked on the device screen. Are yours off exchange yet? #XRP #Ledger

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

3 wrong PINs and your Ledger wipes itself.

That protects you if it's stolen, but it also means your 24-word backup is the real wallet. Pick a PIN that isn't your birthday or phone code, and keep the backup offline.

Where's yours stored?

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

"Your Ledger is at risk, verify now." Delete it.

Fake Ledger emails, texts and even letters all want one thing: your 24 words. Ledger never asks for them. Type https://t.co/yGowOFWGvW yourself, never the link.

Ever gotten one?

An LLC won't protect XRP you can't control.

Before moving XRP into an LLC: get a lawyer and tax pro, set who can sign, give it its own hardware wallet, keep it separate, plan the keys.

Which one is missing from your plan?

@CryptoWendyO Whatever the next hack looks like, exchanges and hot wallets usually take the hit first. Keys on a hardware wallet, phrase on paper or metal, address checked on the device screen. Is your XRP offline yet?

#XRP #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Your 24 words should never touch a keyboard.

Fake wallet apps and "sync" pop-ups exist to get you to type them. A real Ledger keeps the phrase offline and you confirm everything on the device screen.

Ever had a pop-up ask for yours?

#XRP #Ledger #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

@digitalassetbuy Big wallets move, timelines panic. The steady play is boring: XRP on a hardware wallet, 24 words on metal or paper, every send checked on the device screen.

Have you done a backup check this month?

#XRP #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

If your Ledger fails the genuine check, stop there.

Ledger Wallet checks the device when you connect it. A failed check, a resealed box or a PIN already set means don't load a single XRP. Contact Ledger via https://t.co/yGowOFWGvW.

Ever run the check?

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Thinking about holding your XRP through an LLC?

It can separate assets and keep records clean, but paperwork doesn't guard keys. The LLC's XRP still belongs on a hardware wallet, and a pro should sign off first.

Would you set one up?

#XRP #LLC #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Hot take: saving $20 by buying a Ledger on Amazon or eBay is the most expensive shortcut in crypto. Buy from the official store, set it up yourself, and never use a recovery phrase that came in the box. Where did you buy yours? #XRP #Ledger

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

@digitalassetbuy Whatever any bull run does, the only XRP that counts is the XRP you actually control. Ledger from the official store, seed phrase on paper offline, address checked on the device screen. Is yours still sitting on an exchange? #XRP #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

A free Ledger replacement showed up in your mail? It's a trap.

Ledger never asks for your 24 words, not by letter, email or app. Buy only from the official store and set it up fresh yourself.

Would you have caught it?

#XRP #Ledger #ColdWallet

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

@Ledger Every new Ledger feature gets copied by scammers within days. Only use it inside the official Ledger Wallet app, never from a link in a DM or ad, and read every detail on your device screen before you approve. Seen any fakes yet? #XRP #Ledger

[simplecryptoadvice @Billge35]

Turn on your exchange's anti-phishing code today.

It's a word you choose that appears in every real email from them. No code, no trust: don't click, log in by typing the site yourself.

Do you have yours set?
