I'm asking. Can I download a Coinbase or Exodus wallet and enter my seed phrase and have the crypto back again. Or do I need to buy a new Ledger.

on a new ledger because youre a gay nigger faggot who bought a closed-source product.
alternatively, on literally any other compatible HWW and/or compatible wallet software.

Read up on BIP39; you're good.

Thanks. I get the keys part. I just don't understand, why have a Ledger at all then, if you just need your seed phrase?

>>60558835
So far as I understand the ledger device and app interface are like "the keys to your keys"

The seed phrase is your keys, the device and interface are like keys to your keys that can be swapped or replaced by using your seed phrase to "activate" the new keys to your keys

>>60558835
Because keyloggers and backdoors and other nasty shit can capture you typing our your seed phrase on a computer; the hardware wallet offers extra security to prevent things like that from happening.

>>60558835
... because that was the fucking point you retard. The ledger is allegedly a secure environment to generate your keys. That's the point of a hardware wallet. To do it on a hardware wallet instead of an air gapped PC. What you do with your keys afterwards is up to you.

>>60558946
But you have to plug the Ledger into your PC at some point to transfer funds, don't you?

>>60558969
....no.
