ETH 加密行业深耕11年：Polymarket爱好者Car称其价值24.4万美元的比特币和以太坊在Ledger中安然无恙
在加密货币领域深耕11年的Polymarket资深用户Car表示，尽管他很少使用手中的Ledger硬件钱包，但成功保护了价值约24.4万美元的比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）。这一经历让他不禁质疑：为何部分用户在声称未主动操作钱包的情况下，仍报告遭受巨额资产损失。
Car在X平台（原推特）上解释道，他是通过官方网站直接购买Ledger设备，而非从二手卖家处购入。他表示，平时将设备存放在抽屉中，并定期通过官方Ledger应用程序进行固件更新。
极简操作策略与离线存储
据Car介绍，他的使用方法非常基础：仅利用该设备存储比特币和部分以太坊、转入额外的比特币以及持有资产。他强调自己从未通过该设备与智能合约、代币或其他去中心化应用（DApp）进行交互。
Car特别提到了他对助记词的处理方式。他表示，除了Ledger设备本身外，从未在任何其他地方输入过助记词，并将纸质备份保存在安全的物理位置。
He was confused that his funds were intact, while other users with large balances reported that their wallets were stolen even if they used little or no equipment. "For some reason, all of my BTC (and ETH) are still there," Car wrote."I don't understand why some users 'assets are lost remotely while my positions are so safe."
His comments highlighted its limited interaction with the device. By avoiding interaction with contracts, tokens and other wallet-related activities, Car maintains a simple storage architecture with Bitcoin and Ethereum at its core.
The trust battle between hardware wallets and centralized exchanges
Car's remarks also sparked widespread discussion about whether users should trust hardware wallets or rely on centralized exchanges.
User EDAN questioned why anyone would choose to trust Ledger, arguing that users still store cryptocurrency on devices made by another company. PaleNiimbus asked what the so-called alternative was, pointing out that the exchange was also created by a third party and held custody of users 'assets.
E DAN later admitted this view, but insisted that for some users, keeping funds on large exchanges may feel safer. He argued that if cryptocurrencies were lost on exchanges such as Binance, customers might be able to use KYC (Know Your Customer) information to restore access. At the same time, hardware wallets and decentralized applications may appear more complex for users with less technical experience.
Another commentator, Triple_G, offered an alternative explanation, arguing that users who were hacked bought equipment from secondary resellers and emphasized that "the problem is not with Ledger itself."
Taken together, Car's experience focuses on a simple custody process: purchasing directly from the manufacturer, keeping the device offline while idle, protecting mnemonics, and limiting wallet interactions. Although his case does not prove that any storage method is absolutely risk-free, it vividly demonstrates how his personal approach ensures the security and integrity of his Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings.
