#2 Hardware Wallets

Insecurities:
Yes hard wallets have been known to have vulnerabilities themselves which could put your device at risk depending on the vulnerability. This is a risk whenever you use any sort of hardware wallet or software wallet as bugs and exploits likely exist. Devices don't last forever and can easily be corrupted.

That just about covers my opinion on the different storage methods available today. Please let me know your thoughts.

I would like to correct you.

"some" hardwallet may have had vulnerabilities.
I didn't see/read any real vulnerabilities with the nano S ledger. ( I mean something that is not straight out of SCI-FI)

Also, you are right, the device itself doesn't last forever, but no need for it to do.
The secret seed is transferable to any compatible wallet.

I believe that hardwallet is the way to go, so I am a little bit biased.
