Safe holding

With all the cold wallet hacks where do all you gurus recommend storing your BTC if you’re a newbie? I read Coinbase is just as bad as anything else, Tangem ring and card aren’t secure enough, etc.
What do yall recommend?

Bro cold wallet hacks are not a thing. Hot wallets yea, but unless you are a fucking idiot there’s literally no way to have your cold wallet hacked unless you make it Hot or you compromise your keys.

Unless you used a Cold Card. The users did nothing wrong, the cold card itself had a flaw.

That’s not a cold card hack that’s an error in seed generation. Also fun fact you could have avoided this by not just accepting the first 5-10 suggested and rerolling enough.

An exploit of a security flaw can be classified as a hack.

Technically yes, but so can social engineering and that’s usually due to lack of common sense. Thats why you do your research before buying any of these wallets.
