First off, the setup was smoother than I expected. The OLED screen walks you through each step like a patient crypto tutor. I plugged it into my laptop, downloaded Trezor Suite, and within 15 minutes my Bitcoin was snuggled away safer than in any exchange.

The passphrase feature initially made me sweat – it’s like adding a secret handshake to your vault. But after testing recovery (pro tip: DO THIS IMMEDIATELY), I realized it’s genius. Forgot your passphrase? Poof – your crypto’s gone forever. Harsh but effective motivation to remember!

I’ve used this for everything from quick ETH transfers to long-term ADA storage. The USB-C connection feels premium, though I wish it had Bluetooth like Ledger when I’m mobile. That said, watching transaction details appear on the device’s screen before approving gives me spy-level confidence.

The open-source aspect sealed the deal for me. Knowing the code’s been crowd-audited beats proprietary black boxes any day. My brother-in-law (crypto Obi-Wan) nodded approvingly when he saw it – high praise!

After six months, it still feels like a titanium credit card in my pocket. No bugs, no glitches – just solid crypto peace of mind. Worth every satoshi.
