Hardware wallets have long been the go-to method for secure Bitcoin storage, with the Trezor leading the way since its introduction in 2014-15.
However, this article raises a valid concern about software and firmware updates that may not be compatible with older hardware.
If these updates are only reliable for a few years at most, it calls into question the longevity of such wallets as a store of value for Bitcoin holders.
