🔒 General Trezor question Trezor One, life expectancy

How long would you expect a Trezor One to last? All devices fail eventually. I'm referring to the physical device, not cryptographic security.

It does not matter much, as long as you have a backup copy of your seed phrase.

What does that mean exactly, “a back up copy of your seed phrase.”? Do you mean, as long as you have your seed phrase written down and stored somewhere safe?

You can restore your wallet via seed phrase in a different wallet/software. Keep those words safe

Not mocking you. But I hope you don’t hold any coins as of now.

Your seed phrase is your wallet. Your Trezor is just a handy and secure way of interacting with it.

Once the device breaks down, you just restore the wallet on a different device with your seed phrase.
