If I clear it, which hot wallet should I trust, which is reputable but closed source, and which is less reputable but open source hardware?
Closed-source wallets disclaim responsibility for errors or other flaws in the software and will not compensate you if the vulnerability is their fault. This is the disclaimer from Trust wallet, and there are similar statements in other closed-source wallets.
You acknowledge and accept that Trust Wallet cannot control, nor is obligated to act regarding: (i) potential failures, disruptions, mistakes, or delays in the processing of Digital Assets during your usage of the Services; (ii) chances of hardware, software, and internet connectivity failures; (iii) the risk of malicious software being introduced or discovered in software underpinning Trust Wallet; (iv) the possibility of unauthorized third-party access to your wallet information, including, but not limited to, your wallet address, private key, and Secret Phrase; and (v) the risk of unknown vulnerabilities or unforeseen changes in the relevant blockchain networks.
You agree to hold us harmless and release us from all liability relating to any losses, damages, or claims resulting from: (a) user errors such as forgotten passwords, misconstructed transactions, or mistyped Digital Asset addresses; (b) server failure or data loss; (c) unauthorized access to the Trust Wallet application; (d) bugs or other faults in the Trust Wallet software; and (e) unsanctioned third-party activities, including, but not limited to the employ of viruses, phishing, brute forcing, or other potential attack vectors against Trust Wallet.
Centralized accounts may compensate for your losses in certain cases, and therefore they are better than these closed-source wallets. It is better to use a reliable open-source wallet.

And from this point of view, a question has arisen in my mind: would it be better for us to rely on a recognized popular close-source hot wallet or should we trust an open source hardware wallet?
There simply is no justification for using anything closed source when good open source alternatives exist. Specially not a hot wallet, it just makes no sense to use it to store your precious bitcoins!
It is also important to know that your options are not these two only (closed source hot wallet versus open source hardware wallet). You have a lot more such as a normal open source wallet that has been around for over a decade and is trusted. Like bitcoin core! You can use that offline to generate keys too without needing to run it as a full node (with internet access).
There are other options like Electrum as well if you want a mnemonic based wallet that you can physically backup (write down on paper).

Closed source, is already a red flag. Hot wallet is risky but using a wallet that's both closed source and a hot wallet, you are increasing the chances of losing your funds if not careful.we already knew that the cold card case would create a lot of fear for many investors because of how it happened. It gives this view that no wallet is actually safe from attack. Though if you use a good wallet, or an air gapped device you already save yourself a lot of trouble. For me, electrum is exceptional. I don't think I've seen anyone that serves it's purpose better than electrum both as a hard or soft wallets or even air gapped. I will always recommend it for anyone who is really confused about which wallet to use for storing their coins.

Use passphrase or a multisig wallet to avoid your wallet to be compromised with such vulnerability. Use open source wallets that are reputed on a forum like this forum.
One jf the worst wallets are close source wallets. Just avoid them.
Coldcard is not open source.

Until now, we all knew that coldcard was a reputable and secure hardware wallet provider, but after this incident, that perception has completely changed, and at the same time, the question has arisen in our minds that similar incidents will not happen to other hardware wallet providers in the future.
The warning about coldcard losing its reputation didn’t start as at when the incidence happened recently. I have read particular in this forum of members warning against this particular wallet and since NVK switched from open source to a non open source license. One user who I read most of his post about an awaiting danger was dkbit98.
So it’s not about been long in the market and blindly trusting it’s about verifying.

If you’re still considering wallets based on popularity and also having closed in that regard I think you definitely haven’t followed the saga around this coldcard vulnerabilities, the two things you wish to trust is what made people trust nvk and coldcard.
As for open source wallet you’re not trusting them rather you’re given an opportunity to verify and then choose if the wallet is best suited for you and this isn’t offered in closed sourced

Admittedly, the coldcard case impacts the cold storage argument. Users did nothing wrong on their part and got f**led over by a vulnerability which should only happen when you're using a custodian service, but this does not change the fact that non custodian, airgapped cold storage is still the best option for long term hodling. You should add extra security now theough;
• extended passphrases,
• multi signature wallets,
• splitting your holdings (if it's large enough) among multiple addresses and wallets sometimes too.
And from this point of view, a question has arisen in my mind: would it be better for us to rely on a recognized popular close-source hot wallet or should we trust an open source hardware wallet?
NO.
A hot wallet should only be used for an address you regularly move in and out of, like one yourself to fund a gambling account but not for long term storage. Being closed source makes it worse.
I think you ask thus cause a closed source code cannot be scanned for vulnerabilities which may give an illusion of failure, but this means you cannot also check what's going on behind the scenes of the service holding your savings. Open source allows the community verify, check for vulnerabilities and also any backdoor that could have been added.

... So if I run a node, where is my benefit here? I am sorry if I have brought up a previous discussion.
It feels good to participate and contribute to the decentralized network. Bitcoin will continue to be decentralized if more and more people run nodes. But if everyone sits back and begin to calculate their benefits of running a node, the network could be in danger.
I could say that your best benefit is sustaining a decentralized bitcoin network and perhaps decision making will not lie in the hands of a few individuals. If you believe we bitcoin has done well for us and if you believe that we are all Satoshi's, we need to run a node not minding whether it is beneficial or not.

"Don't trust, verify", but already a huge quantity of people have run nodes and that is being verified. So if I run a node, where is my benefit here? I am sorry if I have brought up a previous discussion.
If you don't have your own node then you choose to trust others, that is against the idea of don't trust but verify yourself.
But you no need to have your own node to use Bitcoin, you can be fine with any SPV, but you are compromising your privacy and leaking details such as IP to the nodes that you connect with.

~snip~
Does that mean that at some point in the future, bitcoin's volatilities could decrease?
Even in this cycle, I think the volatility is not as high compared to previous cycles so in the future, we’ll probably see Bitcoin becoming less volatile than it was in the past. Well, I could be wrong cause this cycle bearmarket is not done yet and we still have probablity for Bitcoin to drop further.
But what I’m afraid of is that the volatility might keep coming because on the
Higher Time Frame, Bitcoin is still in a megaphone pattern. If this pattern plays out, touching the upper trendline and lower trendlines could create very high volatility.

Can you guys share your best experience mobile wallet which have the support the multi-chain, generally I am looking for a mobile wallet which will support the enough currencies and as well also support the network specially(bitcoin,bep-20, Erc-20, Polygon).
And of course the wallet should be the open source.
Suggest me the best one from your opinion, and also give little explanation why you choose that in the 1st position like which part you like most of that wallet.
Cake wallet is good. They are open source and Also support other coins from different network aside from bitcoin plus on cake wallet you can kinda isolate a particular wallet so you have something like a lite coin only wallet or Solana only wallet etc.. as the case may be.
Only catch is last I checked just their swap area is closed source I think because that's when the wallet actually interacts with third party services . Aside that it's a fine wallet.
