I would disagree here.

Best wallet it’s one that’s not connected to the internet at all. Full nodes need to be connected to the internet, making it very prompt to cyber security risks.

Best thing to do with anything you want to keep safe is never ever make it touch anything that is connected to the web.

Higher amounts you will keep in cold storage anyway...

If you talking about an L2 way of storage, that’s fine. Keeping life savings in a node isn’t.

In your writing you don’t mention this; anybody new to the network will think that a node is a good way to keep it on chain. Hot wallets are good and convenient, but again not secure; even if you have everything under passwords it has more attack vectors making it less secure.

As you mentioned: cold wallet (no internet) > node (to help the network grow), and you can attach a phone wallet to it using Zeus or have a separate hot wallet in your phone.
