Watch out! Better to use the regular self-custody online wallets than use a hardwallet that has been rigged by scammers.

Blunt lies, online wallet are the most unsafe type of wallet that anyone most avoid, including you, because cause I see that you have no idea about crypto wallets, a crypto wallet that's always online is prone to hacks than offline wallet, some called this offline wallets airgapped, this is a security step on it's own, many hacks online are possible because people use online wallets.

I dont think you understood it right. Firstly, I would argue that online wallets or hot wallets make up the majority of cryptocurrency wallets that people use on a daily basis. For instance, Bitcoin Core and Electrum are both examples of very popular online wallets; does that mean they are inherently unsafe?  Secondly, even Btcalysis said that it was better to use an online wallet than a device that was tampered with or compromised. Do you not agree?
