Air-Gapped Phone for Bitcoin

Since I don’t have access to dedicated hardware and have limited options, I plan to use a separate phone. I will factory reset it, uninstall or disable everything except Electrum, and create my wallet. After that, I will use a watch-only wallet and keep the phone offline and powered off indefinitely—only turning it on when I need to withdraw my Bitcoin. Does this approach seem secure enough? submitted by /u/ForeverLaur4 [link] [comments]
