in short if your threat model is that single sig is good enough
you don't need a HWW
(in theory anyway, obv YMMV)
if you're a known hodler (influencer or whatever. you worry about a targeted attack)
then you need multisig anyway
and hww makes sense.

If you’re comfortable with that thinking good luck, but I’ve been around for a while and witnessed people get burned that way. Thats why we started building dedicated key signers in the first place.
I strongly disagree here. Most people will be using single sig and there are many use cases for a hww beyond multisig. There’s no reason to compromise on security for savings that could last a lifetime.
Sorry pal, but I’ll continue to call out bad bitcoin advice to save the newbies.
Keys stored on an internet connected device should not be trusted for savings. Spending amounts only.

Users can decide what their threat model requires.
