Hey Guys,

Sorry If I dont understand something , but I have a question.

So Hardware wallets are supposed to be the safest way to store crypto, but my question is  when using them  for example Ledger , are we still putting our trust in them because we still need to use their software etc.

If lets say they get orders from the government  etc can they prevent us from being able to access or move our crypto  directly or by blocking access to their software.

I also read that it is possible to  get access to our private key ourselves , but we would need to use another 3rd party software to do that.
