hardware wallets are a fucking meme and give a false sense of security. I would never, fucking ever, use one.
Most secure method is still paper wallet.
Ledger?

Good point. On an unrelated note, I was thinking for a while if it were possible to go full schizo and do all the computations yourself just with the help of pen and paper and a pocket calculator. Like how long do you think it would take you to verify one transaction if you carried it all out by hand? Some hours, some days, maybe even years?
Kevin Fisher
do you even know how a ledger works? you have to PERSONALLY sign off on any transaction on the actual device itself, no one can just "hack your wallet and steal your funds"
Jeremiah Hughes
Yes you can put your seed in whatever wallet you want. It doesn't matter if your ledger stops functioning or ledger live breaks. Always have a backup of your seed, write it down and put it in a safe space. It's simply a device to sign transactions without exposing your private key.

Hardware wallets are objectively more secure than paper wallets. If someone steals your paper wallet, he immediately has access to your funds. If someone steals your hardware wallet, he has to extract the private key from the microcontroller which might be hard (in the case of Trezor) or almost impossible (in the case of Ledger).

Considering you can't import seeds to the device there exists a possibility of the generated seed being rigged.

if you buy it off ebay, sure, but who would be dumb enough to do that
Justin Hill
it can take you a lot but I think signing a transaction manually is not of much use. you can just put the private key in a ledger and do the transaction there, then move all your remaining funds to other unused address in the same transaction.
Of course, you have to asume your ledger won’t get hacked in the time from when you put the key to when you make the transaction; but that’s minutes; once you’re done it’s safe.
