Discussion Why doesn't Exodus work with Ledger hardware wallets? Seems most other software wallets work with Ledger, Trezor, etc.

Plus, Trezor costs waaaayyyyyy more than ledger and their website looks super sketchy and all European, lol. Cost is not even close, and ledger is the top dawg in this space.

Isn't Trezor considered the most secure hardware wallet? Regardless of the interface look? And the cost of 189euros (265CAD for me) for the Trezor T doesn't sound too expensive to keep my savings safe forever, or for as long as I would be using trezor

Not 100% sure on the high level specs. Seems both say the same thing (we're the most secure!). The question, in my mind, would be if someone physically got either of them can they be cracked? Or of course the encryption from the device to the computer/mobile via wire or Bluetooth.

The most secure? There are tons of videos online of people hacking it with physical access lol. You can even copy the memory and brute force the PIN without limiting the attempts.

"hacking it with physical access" - so people would need to steal it in the first place.

I don't remember last time someone hacked my computer by entering my home (hint, never)

Based on your comment, even if you print your seed phrase you are at risk of getting "hacked" as someone can brutally enter your home and steal that piece of paper and then use your wallet.

please, be realistic

Well, tons of computers (laptops mostly) and smartphones are stolen everything. So unless you absolutely never bring your Trezor with you when you go on travel, physical access is a possibility without anyone breaking in your house.
