Trezor CCO Danny Sanders joins Gareth Jenkinson on The Starting Block to discuss and debunk ZachXBT's viral claim that hardware wallets are "absolute garbage," the real-world use cases where that critique has merit, and make the case for why hardware wallets remain the best self-custody solution for retail users despite their limitations.
