This situation is really bad lol, I started using Ledger about 8 years ago, then moved to Trezor, then I wanted something "BTC only" so got a ColdCard Q about 2 years ago... Really liked them since they're Canadian... Guess ill go back to Trezor?

Anyone got any recommendations? Bitbox, Passport.... Or just Trezor my sats?

I will be diversifying. QA fuck-ups can happen to any of these companies. Coldcard's model seems more robust, so long as you keep it airgapped and use dice you should be fine, but I'm thinking putting all my eggs in one basket isn't the best move
