That is why I think that having multiple solution is the best thing you can do, own multiple hardware wallets, own DIY signers like Seesigner or Krux, and own a laptop with sole purpose of being a secure cold storage.
I am so fed up with hardware wallets at the moment, that I'm pretty much exclusively using airgapped encrypted devices and paper wallets for my non-hot wallets. Adding in KYC linked debit cards, supporting KYC and AML requirements from privacy invading centralized exchanges, adding unnecessary features (and therefore vulnerabilities) such as games to the firmware, adding support (and therefore vulnerabilities) for hundreds of useless shitcoins, the list goes on. I don't want to spend money on yet another new hardware wallet for the company to announce in few weeks' time that they are now implementing *stupid feature* and I have yet another device that I don't want to store my coins on. At least with a DIY solution I know it will still work exactly as I want it to in 1, 5, 10 years' time.

Posting this video on Youtube now in 2022 is just a free marketing campaign for Kingpin more than anything else, but it sure hurt Trezor so they even had to comment on that video with explantion.
Lol. People are dumb. They just read the headline about Trezor being hacked and start to panic. No one bothers to actually read the story to see this is a non-issue.

I didn't even check DIY solutions before buying one, I should... I don't like the changing address of Ledger, don't know if it's a rule for all hardware wallets but I don't really understand the goal.
