How can someone comment on cryptography if they don't even have a basic understanding of it?

They talk big about secure elements, but they don't realize that a closed secure element breaks all the principles of secure cryptography, since it all comes down to trust.

Never store your bitcoins in hardware wallets that have secure elements unless you are willing to accept the trade-offs.

A passphrase is much more secure than any secure element as long as you follow a few recommendations.

I recommend using the zxcvbn algorithm to test it.

Hint: Multi-word phrases are better than passwords.
