🚨 ZachXBT: hardware wallets are complete garbage
That is how the onchain investigator answered this year's run of thefts. Instead of a keyring device he suggests a separate iPhone whose only job is to be your wallet. Ledger got the sharpest line: its Live app ships updates that break simple actions for no good reason. The caveat is his own — the setup only suits people who know what they are doing.
It is a blunt take, but it rests on something real: what usually breaks is not the device, it is the person next to it.

All hardware wallets are complete garbage and I do not advise using them for important tasks like signing transactions or storing funds
