you are talking to someone whos been doing cryptography since the 90s, the answer hasn’t changed since then, you cant. the ONLY was you can be sure is with old school means or controlling your own lithography system.

most people just pick what level of trust/control/effort they are most comfortable with and go with that. the more your life ends up under these keys the more youll want to move to physical storage, multiple cold wallets, etc etc.

This usability nightmare is part of whats hurt crypto’s adoption imo.

Why are insecure devices allowed to be sold? I don’t know, why do we let comcast sell routers with known firmware vulnerabilities that gets a large chunk of them infected with malware? Why do we only deal with dangerous things after they become dangerous and hurt people, esp when the danger is so damn obvious? I don’t know.

Is there a hardware wallet I like that I believe is secure? No

Do i use them? Well of course, insurance companies love them…sigh.

Do I use them for my personal stuff? No, the vast majority of my holdings are stored in physical cold wallets.
