If hardware wallets became unusable, would confidence in Bitcoin weaken, or would people adapt with new storage methods? Is this even a possibility ?
But why would hardware wallets be unusable? If it’s only hardware wallets that’s unusable then confidence in hardware wallets will decline but not confidence in bitcoin. Instead people will look for other ways to store their bitcoins. Those who have it in store in hardware wallets will probably go online to see where they can move their coins. Which would have a significant effect.
