Yes for a first wallet if Ledger is what you can actually buy in Türkiye — with a few caveats so you do not get surprised later.

Nano S Plus vs old Nano S: the original Nano S is end-of-support. Nano S Plus is the current small model and still gets firmware/app updates. Do not buy a used Nano S thinking it is the same device.

What is fine: keys stay on-device, you confirm receives/sends on the screen, and Ledger Live + the device is a workable beginner path. For BTC-only use it is enough.

What I wish beginners knew:

  1. Ledger is closed-source Secure Element + proprietary OS. Trezor (and Jade/SeedSigner) are more open. That is a trust tradeoff, not a deal-breaker, but it is real.
  2. Never type your 24 words into a phone/PC “recovery” website or any email — only on the device itself. Phishing for Ledger/Trezor seeds is active right now.
  3. Buy sealed from a seller you trust. If the box looks reopened or the device asks you to enter a seed that was already printed, return it.
  4. Write the seed on paper/steel offline; test a small receive + send before moving size.

If you later want BTC-only and more open firmware, Jade or a SeedSigner DIY is a good second device. For day-one cold storage in Türkiye, Nano S Plus is a reasonable start.
