I've been using Trezor Model T since early 2024 — super solid, intuitive UI, and no forced cloud backups like Ledger started doing 👀
For me, the biggest green flag is open-source firmware and solid reputation over time.

Tried SafePal as a backup — it's OK for mobile-first users, but not my main.
Haven't touched Ledger since the Recover controversy, personally.

🔐 Rule #1: Always verify the address on-screen before sending.
🔁 And if you're rotating wallets — make sure you wipe the old one securely.

Would love to hear if anyone here tried Keystone or the new Grid+ Lattice?

Stuck with Trezor T — open source, no BS cloud recovery. Just works.
Tried SafePal but felt too "mobile app vibes" for serious bags.
Ledger? Nah. Still salty after the Recover thing.

Anyone here using Tangem?
Been testing it for daily stuff — super portable (feels like a credit card), and no cables or batteries is a win.
Not my main cold storage, but for small amounts or travel, it's honestly kinda perfect.
Downside? You have to trust their chip + firmware, so not for the paranoid crowd.

Totally get the open-source appeal for transparency, but I've got to ask - doesn't that also give bad actors more fuel to audit? I'm using Ledger Nano S Plus mostly, and honestly, I'd argue its Secure Element may be tougher to crack than open Trezor code. Sure, the Recover thing was a mess - but has anyone actually had their coins stolen because of it? If not, maybe we're letting nostalgia keep the hype train running.
Also curious - anyone tested Keystone or Grid+ Lattice yet? Would love to know if they're changing the game or just another layer of complexity.
