RE: Things that scare the !@#%!# out of me.

As a small child I had an irrational fear of driving over bridges. I never met my maternal grandmother but, strangely, my Mom said she had the same fear. Thankfully I got over that by the time I got into kindergarten.
These days the instability of the financial markets, political divisiveness/extremism, and war (especially nuclear) frighten me. These are tumultuous/polarizing times and I'm not entirely sure how we can steer ourselves back to the middle of the road.
That's scary about those flash drives. That reminds me, cold storage wallets scare the @#$*! out of me now too. I experienced a glitch recently with my Ledger Nano X where the password just stopped working. I didn't change it, as far as I know no one has hacked it, it just stopped allowing me access to the device. Ledger's support was zero help but I finally figured out that the mobile app still worked and allowed me to transfer everything off of it. The Ledger used to be my favorite wallet because of its versatility but now I will never trust it again and use only Trezor.
I went with a Ledger Nano X when I bought one. I don't have much on there, but I have it tied to my laptop. I am not a fan of the interface at all and I think if I had to do it over again I would definitely buy a Trezor. I think if I had more I might put more of a priority on it. Did you not have your seed phrase? Can't you still recover if you have that too? We were riding over the Mackinac bridge at a really young age, so you had to get over bridges pretty quick. My wife still doesn't like going over it too much!
That was the very scary part, the seed phrase didn't work either. I don't know what happened but I have zero trust in that product now.
Oh crap wow, yeah, that is not cool at all. Scary!
