believe it or not. Your the first one that could at least describe an advantage of it.
Just to really recap an understand.
The hardware wallet is dooing the same as if i was using a client to stack sats, then backup it to a Usb drive ann write down my keys somewhere else and delete the Client from my online device?
Is that right?
But in this case i still have to trust a software and a hardware developer.
If you used a software wallet, your private key has been on your computer, and hence was potentially exposed to a hacker. With a hardware wallet, the key never leaves the wallet itself.
A hardware wallet is also very useful for making transactions. How do you make a transaction with your private key on paper? You can't, you have to re-enter it into your computer (again exposing it to hackers). The hardware wallet allows you to sign a transaction while not exposing the private key.
Yes, you have to trust the hardware maker, but the good ones are as open/verifiable as possible.
