By the way, if all closed source wallets are not recommended, why do we use/promote Ledger Nano (Hardware Wallet) ? It is also a closed source as I know.
Who is we?

AFAIK, I haven't seen members recommend ledger Nano for a while. It's receiving heavy criticism even when they tried to make a comeback by faking their source code status

I just mean that we usually say that hardware wallets are safe and when we talk about hardware wallet, most common ones are Trezor and Ledger, Anyways now with so many issues with closed source wallets, i would avoid the closed source hardware wallets too.

New statement can be used for bitcoin wallet: not open source, not your coins.

That is what i was thinking too. The centralized wallets do not give you the private keys and the closed source ones, can still know our private keys through the source code, without the need to make the user being aware of it.  Sad
