Better don't risk anything and don't use bitcoin at all, your computer and smartphone are compromised already Shocked

Is someone who’s buying a PC more vulnerable to being hacked or targeted than someone who’s buying random boards off the internet? Now that’s a stat I’d like to see! Cheesy

I feel like if you buy random boards it’s much easier to be the victim of a compromised batch than if you buy a computer. But now that I think about it, this fear can be easily bypassed.. the more hardware wallets launch and the more complicated these things get, the more I start loving the idea of a traditional cold storage wallet by transforming old devices into the cold storage. It’s not as convenient as a device like Ledger, but it gets the job done better than any other such device in my opinion. Why even bother purchasing possibly counterfeit boards and all if maybe there’s a pre-Bitcoin era laptop out there in the attic laying down & waiting for you to give it life again?
