Great question! If your Ledger device fails or goes bust, you don't have to worry about losing your cryptocurrency holdings. Your funds are securely stored on the blockchain, not on your Ledger device itself. Your Ledger is simply a tool that allows you to access and manage your cryptocurrency securely.
If your Ledger device fails, you can still access your funds by using your private keys or recovery phrase. It's important to keep your private keys and recovery phrase SAFE and secure, as they are the only way to access your funds if you lose your Ledger device.
To prevent any potential issues, it's always a good idea to keep your Ledger device updated and secure. You should also store your private keys and recovery phrase in a safe and secure location, separate from your Ledger device. This way, you'll always have access to your funds, even if something happens to your Ledger device.

When it comes to cryptocurrency security, one of the most important aspects is your seed phrase. This is the unique string of words that acts as the master key to your digital wallet.

By saving your seed phrase when setting up your Ledger hardware wallet, you ensure that you have a backup of your funds in case of any unexpected issues with your device.

With your seed phrase, you can recreate all the wallets that your Ledger device creates, allowing you to access your cryptocurrency holdings even if your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Ledger provides a user-friendly experience, but it's important to remember that you are not reliant on them for your money. If Ledger were to go bankrupt, your funds would still be safe, as long as you have your seed phrase.

This is the beauty of cryptocurrency: you are the sole owner of your funds, and you are responsible for keeping them secure. By having a secure seed phrase, you can protect your assets from theft, fraud, and other risks.
