Yes, if trezor is as secure as advertised. Do we know this?

This is how much we know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1OBIGslgGM

Basically:
The seed and PIN (sic!) can be extracted from a Trezor device. Not simply, but it is doable.

But... If you put a passphrase on the seed, the hacker can do shit...

So, which of the following is the easiest?

1. TREZOR: steal the device, then use the extraction method you refer to above to get the seed (and coins).
2. Paper Wallet: steal the wallet, then simply sweep the QR code to get the coins!

I'd go with a TREZOR...

Obviously stealing a paper wallet is simpler... Wink
