Nah, use Binance as a hot wallet

Great setup, but if it's not in the clear you still have to decrypt it to sign. So you are carrying it plus the way to unlock it and it still comes out every time. Same exposure, more steps. If the only safe option is DIY, most people won't self custody. They will sit on exchanges and ETFs and Bitcoin ends up with a handful of custodians. Tin foil hat on, I reckon that's what a lot of these attacks are after.

Fair on building your own image. But stateless only works if you never leave home. Travel or flee your country and you're carrying your seed in the clear. And your most valuable thing comes out every time you sign, more exposure to cameras and prying eyes. Signing anywhere but your basement is a risk.

💯 multisig and true self made entropy is the best line of defence. Your own entropy would have protected against the Coldcard bug, and multisig against the Ledger and Trezor implants. But vendors have a duty too. Tamper evident builds and devices you can verify yourself, so supply chain attacks get caught before they cost anyone.
