I currently own BitBox02, and I think may be I should buy a second HW to have it as backup wallet, use it for forks, trading, shitcoins etc.
I was researching Trezor T and discovered (from other people feed backs online) that it is very buggy and people are struggling all the time to make it work properly.
I was thinking why was it so popular then, and the most probable answer was: brand.
Old, highly respected brand, open source. And nothing good about device itself. Just bugs and issues, issues and bugs.
People don't enjoy USING it. The enjoy HAVING it. Due to its brand.

And I start thinking about bitcoin economy in general. The fewer people use bitcoin, want bitcoin, own bitcoin, the lower is price of bitcoin. The more people use, own, want bitcoin, the bigger is its price.

But if hadware wallets are buggy, hard to use, difficult to set up. Then only technical people and experienced computer users can use them.

Then:
Your grandma cannot use them.
Those ordinary young people who are not nerds, they cannot use them.
The school kid next door cannot use them.
Your neighbor cannot use them.
All that means these people cannot use bitcoins.
When they cannot use bitcoins they don't want bitcoins. When those mainstream people don't want bitcoin, then bitcoin price don't grow.

The way hardware wallets are built causes either interest to bitcoin or fear. From ordinary people.


So, from the point of view of bitcoin economy in general, in order bitcoin to grow, which hardware wallet is good and which one is bad?
The good one is that which ordinary (not technical, not computer experienced people) can use. And the bad one is that which only technical computer experienced guys can use and no one else.

Let's  say:

1. Do you need Python or Ubuntu to use the wallet? Bad wallet! Because these words are scary for your Grandma.

2. Does the wallet look ugly and cheap? Bad wallet! Because boys and girls in school and high school will not show off such a wallet for each other.

3. Does it not have a large touch screen?
Bad wallet! Because your drunk neighbour will be unable to pay with bitcoins for his whisky.

Is it possible to quickly start using this wallet for people who can only browse online, use email and internet banking, and nothing more on PC?

If they need to learn too much to start using HW, it is bad HW! Just because they will not do those efforts, and thus they will not use bitcoins, and bitcoin economy will not get new users.

Guys,  most of the people are  not computer experts. Not technically educated. And things which are easy for you, those things are scary and even feels impossible for them.

So when you say it doesn't matter if hardware wallets are aesthetyc or not, easy to set up and use or not, buggy or not..... you don't care about bitcoin economy. And if all manufacturers act this way, then mainstream ordinary people will not use HW, will not use bitcoins, and then YOUR OWN BITCOIN will not grow in price!

And even if you are satisfied with Trezor, ColdCard, Foundation Passport despite the fact your Grandma  cannot use them, and beleive that all HW should be like those,  this is a selfish mindset which as consequences makes that you don't care about your own bitcoins to grow in price.

The manufacturer who will be able to create a secure open source HW for ordinary mainstream people (and yes, for your Grandma, school kids, and your drunk neighbour), that manufacturer will contribute to bitcoin economy tremendously, and that manufacturer may earn huge money selling his devices.

ColdCard, Trezor, Foundation Passport is not HW future. Just because your Grandma cannot use them.
From this point of view they are all bad.

A good HW:

Has a large touch screen.
It's manual doesn't contain scary words like Ubuntu or Python.
It is lovishly, aesthetically designed.
No bugs!
It is so easy to set up and to use for anyone who can no more than just browse onlie and send email.
To use that HW is not more difficult than to use online banking.
HW issue is never users problem, its always  manufacturers problem. And manufacturer is very sorry for any inconvenience for user. Manufacturer is doing his best for user to switch off his brain, to make no efforts, just to relax and enjoy using the wallet.

Then it is a good wallet! If there were such hardware wallet, interest for bitcoin would grow a lot! You would become richer! Guys, please think about this.

We must suport and cherish manufacturers who is making pleasant easy effortless wallets.
