Most people lose their Bitcoin not through a compromised hardware device but through being too clever.

They either hand their key over, lose it or transfer their sats to someone (eg to generate a yield).

Your seed words are the most easily compromised part of the equation. Assuming you don't hand them over, it requires someone to physically locate them (a targeted attack).

You are your greatest threat to your Bitcoin.

Maintaining exclusive access to a secret is not something that we humans are skilled at.

Hardware devices are not the threat that you think they are.

I would never trust a naked seed generated by a single hardware wallet’s random number generator

25th word/passphrase at minimum

Multisig quorum with different hardware wallet providers (and 25th words) even better

Offline manual key generation 🤌
