The BitBox02 hardware wallet offers the best overall package in terms of security. The team continuously introduces new security features, such as a "fake wallet" for use in the event of forced access (e.g., raids or other threats). This separate wallet contains only a fraction of the actual assets, enabling "plausible deniability." From the purchase of the wallet to the actual usage, it's clear that the team is fully committed to security. The focus on security comes with some trade-offs however, compared to other hardware wallets, the BitBox02 and its software offer significantly fewer integration options, apps, and features. For those interested in storing only Bitcoin, there is a "Bitcoin-only" version of the hardware wallet, which has even fewer functions and reduces the amount of potential attack vectors. We believe BitBox02 is the best choice for those prioritizing maximum security and privacy; while being ok with having less features compared to other hardware wallet providers.
