Hi all -

I use a Trezor Model T with Exodus, withe bulk of my crypto (mostly BTC these days) in the Trezor and a bit directly in exodus. It works fine, but the whole setup feels clunky and I keep having this issue where I'm unable to enter the PIN code correctly.

Maybe I have fat fingers, but I even bought a little stylus and it still takes me 5 to 10 tries to get the PIN in. Sometimes I am touching directly in the center of a number using the narrow stylus and I get nothing or the wrong number. Over the years, I've seen others with similar issues but reconnecting/updates seem to help. In my case, it's gotten worse - like unusable and this morning I actually thought I might lose a pretty large amount of coin cause I just couldn't get in.

I got in. I move 6-figures of BTC into Exodus so now I have the coin on my phone in a hot software wallet.

Maybe my Trezor was just defective and I need a new one, but I thought I'd look at new options. It's sort of a confusing selection. Any thoughts on the best option? My priorities are:

1) COLD wallet, that lives in my fireproof safe.
2) Easy to use. Trezor was fine but the ui was a bit clunky
3) I am mostly holding BTC these days so thats really all I need.

I have been reading about options, but wow there are a ton of options. I could just get a new Trezor but I'm a little turned off. Any tips? I'm having trouble understanding the options.

I Think one of the biggest misunderstanding is, that people believe BTC was created to raise on value very fast. But actually it was designed to save your value, if you compare it against FIAT money. You can already see, that the margin between high and low gets smaller with every Circle.

So will we see a 120k chart again anytime soon or even a 200k, 500k chart? If the inflation raises like hell there is a chance. Is it Likely? No. Will it drop to under 1k? If some kind of AI cracks the key or there is a mayor security issue there is a chance. Ist it Likely? No. In my opinion, in the next Years, theres a good chance, we will see, whats the real price of BTC wich will be just adjusted by inflation rate. Wich number will it be? Nobody knows.

The productivity gains achieved by technical progress ought to lead to falling prices and to people having to work less, since they can produce the same amount of goods in less time. Instead, even after 200 years of rapid technical progress, people still have to work 8 to 10 hours a day because the terrible Keynesian inflationary monetary theory leads to a redistribution from the working population to those who own productive capital. Hopefuly, Bitcoin will break this vicious circle!

I am curious which of these you would recommend. Or if you have different option for a node I would love to hear them all. I appreciate you all.
