After 11 years in crypto, Polymarket enthusiast Car says he has managed to keep roughly $244,000 worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum secure on his Ledger despite leaving the device largely untouched. His experience has led him to question why some users report losing substantial crypto holdings remotely even when they claim they did not actively use their wallets.

According to Car, his approach remains simple. He only uses the device to store Bitcoin and some Ethereum, transfer additional Bitcoin to the wallet, and hold his assets. He said he does not interact with contracts, tokens, or other applications through the device.

Car Says He Never Stored His Seed Phrase Digitally

Car also described how he handles his wallet’s recovery phrase. He said he has never entered his seed phrase anywhere other than the Ledger itself and keeps a paper backup in a secure physical location.

He questioned why his funds remain intact while other crypto users have reported having their wallets drained despite claiming that they did little or nothing with their devices.

“Somehow I still have all my BTC (and ETH),” Car wrote, adding that he does not understand why some users with significant balances experience remote wallet losses while his holdings remain secure.
