Model One - The Original Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet, Bitcoin Security, Store & Manage 1000's of Coins&Tokens, Easy-to-Use Interface, Quick & Simple Setup (White)

This “Trezor Model One - The Original Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet, Bitcoin Security, Store & Manage 1000's of Coins&Tokens, Easy-to-Use Interface, Quick & Simple Setup (White)” is the true GOLD standard of an offline hardware crypto wallet aka cold storage wallet; meaning that one of these wallet/device can keep your critical information completely “offline”, those critical information would never had existed anywhere online “ever”, and this is the safest way to avoid hackers getting a hold of those critical information (key) to steal your crypto asset. Even though I bought another one (of these Trezor Model One) recently, I had my first one more than 8 years ago, and that old one functions as good as any newer ones, same old trustable “offline hardware wallet”. The private key, the PIN, the mnemonic seed (these are the most important items to protect your crypto assets) never leave the hardware device, none of these are ever transferred onto the terminal (computer or phone) that you are using to interact with this Trezor Model One device. All the software are “open source”, hence, subjected to audits and reviews, therefore 100% safe. The Trezor Model One with the price of $49 is a steal, it is basically cheaper than any other devices from Trezor or competitors (Ledger is probably the only true competitor/alternative, with similar level of security, IMHO). When you are trying to purchase your Trezor Model One (or any other Trezor devices), please make sure that you are buying directly from Trezor or one of their authorized reseller; if you are using Amazon USA, please make sure the seller is “Trezor Company S.R.O.” and their official Amazon page is https://www.amazon.com/trezor. When you receive the device, please also make sure the secure tape etc.. are intact. You should also visit Trezor’s website to read through and compare the list of security features to make sure your device is not compromised. By the way, the new ones do not come with a Trezor branded tether, while the old ones did. Thank you for reading this review, I hope that this review & the pictures are helpful to you in support of your purchase decision.

I bought the Trezor Model One to move my crypto off exchanges and into cold storage, and it’s done exactly what it promises—simple, reliable security without unnecessary complexity. Setup was straightforward, even for someone who isn’t extremely technical. The instructions are clear, the interface is intuitive, and the device works seamlessly with the Trezor Suite. I especially appreciate that private keys never leave the device, which gives real peace of mind in a space full of hacks and scams. The build quality is solid, the buttons are responsive, and firmware updates are easy to manage. It supports a wide range of coins and integrates well with third-party wallets if you want more flexibility. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, proven hardware wallet from a company with a long track record, the Trezor Model One is a great choice. It’s perfect for beginners and still trusted by experienced crypto users. Highly recommended for anyone serious about protecting their crypto long-term.

If you own cryptocurrency, a hardware wallet like the Trezor Model One is a smart way to store it securely. Keeping funds on an exchange means relying on a third party that can change policies, adjust fees, or restrict access. With this device, you control your private keys. Setup was straightforward, and transactions require physical confirmation on the device, which adds an important security layer. It supports major coins like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and other tokens across supported networks. What I like most is the flexibility you can use any exchange when you choose to buy or sell, rather than leaving everything stored on one platform. Solid option for long-term crypto storage and peace of mind.

I really paid through the nose back then. Now they're much less expensive. Took one star off just because of that. Product itself is fine.

It was good, so far, no issues. BUT, I do have to admit that it caught me by surprise the lack of blockchains that it supports. If you are considering more than just Bitcoin and Ethereum, I would buy another model, the more expensive ones.

TL;DR it is important to responsibly store your keys, so get them offline. A Trezor is a safe and easy way to do so. I started looking into buying a hardware wallet about a year ago after watching Andreas Antonopoulos talk about "tiered" storage of Bitcoin. Basically, a hot wallet on a phone with a little money for day to day spending, and the rest in varying degrees of cold storage. I feel like it applies to everyone because regardless of how much anyone has, the important thing, in my opinion, is to get in the habit of responsibly storing Bitcoin. After almost a year of using my Trezor, I still am very happy. The things I like most: - It is easy to use: even bought ones for my parents. It actually helped a lot with teaching them about Bitcoin. - Open-source: essentially everything, from their firmware to the actual hardware, is open source. This is comforting to me because it means that everyone in the world can look at their design and study it and help improve it. A couple things I don't like, but that aren't that big of a deal yet: - The Trezor wallet uses bitcore as the full node backend. I'd like to have the option of using bitcoind. - I can't yet receive to a bech32 address, but I think this is coming soon. - I would personally like to see more privacy technologies implemented, specifically BIP47. I cannot speak to the quality of their customer support because I've never had to contact them. I will update my review if anything changes.

I bought a Trezor one here last year, used it maybe 3 times, and now it's totally BRICKED. Lights up when plugged into it's crappy micro-USB cable, but that's ALL. None of my computers recognize the thing! My girlfreind's computer doesn't recognize it. Windows 7 doesn't recognize it. Windows 10? nada! Trezor.io (the browser based application / software used to manage your crypto) just says "Connect your Tezor to continue" IT IS CONNECTED!!! Thank god I only put $50 worth of crypto on it last year as a TEST. Well, TEST FAILED. I'm no idiot or computer newb. I have over 35 years of professional and personal experience with all manner of computer hardware and software. The build quality is terrible - cheap plastic - so I babied the thing. I went through all the usual troubleshooting tactics and web forum searches. I am not alone in having this problem. So I contacted Trezor support, and all I got was an automated response saying "We are very busy right now, so it might take us 3 weeks to get back to you" (!) That was 4 weeks ago - still nothing. "Very busy"? Yea, I'll BET! Imagine if instead of putting $50 worth of Bitcoin on this POS last year, I'd put $5000 on it! I'd be sweating bullets right now, because instead of trying to recover my keys for $500 worth of coin, I'd be sweating $50,000! This is totally unacceptable. A device like this must be UTTERLY RELIABLE. Bulletproof construction, and flawless software / hardware that interfaces seamlessly with a variety of computer platforms. It must be future proof - as in you can retrieve your keys on the device itself, completely air-gapped from any hackable buggy PC / Mac / Phone / USB / Bluetooth / WiFi BS. Yes - I have the &^%$ seed phrase, but guess what? I have to BUY ANOTHER TREZOR to and restore my keys to another POS to recover them! They don't tell you that part in their marketing do they? Since I now have ZERO TRUST in this company and it's products, I'm going to have to buy another hardware wallet like a Ledger (They have problems too - the company was hacked and leaked private customer data) and transfer my meager stash of BTC to it, and then I'll put the TWO POS Trezors in a BLENDER and hit "Frappe" so they can never hurt anyone ever again. For those of you keeping score here, I'm looking at spending a total of at least $150 (cost of 2 Trezors and a Ledger Nano S) - NOT counting Bitcoin mining fees - to recover and cold store $500 worth of BTC now! I'm starting to think the whole cold storage thing is a VERY BAD IDEA. Even if you manage to find perfectly reliable hardware wallets that will somehow not become obsolete and unreadable 1, 5, 10 or 20 years from now, you still have to keep the wallet secure from theft, not lose or damage it, and pray to god it WORKS when you need your crypto. Yes, exchanges get hacked. But they also usually make their clients whole afterwards, or they go out of business. Spread your holdings around in several of the biggest like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and Gemini, and let THEM deal with security. You'll also gain liquidity. That, or buy a dozen Ledgers and don't put any more crypto on any single one than you are prepared to lose. Just sayin....
