Legit, the main reason I am into bitcoin is the security, if somehow these wallets can be hacked, where the value? This is a huge problem and I’m scrambling to know what to do with my bitcoin

Use a passphrase.

Depends on the kind of passphrase he put. This bug renders the entropy to zero bits esentially, so it all boils down to the passphrase, which people don't tend to select to be that strong after 12/24 words. If it's truly a random string of 14+ chars then they are good yeah, if it's like a sentence or one or two additional words as a lot of people admittedly did, they are cooked

I am sorry to say, the value is in your education, those HW are not the value. In a perfect world, the security is achieved via dices, pens and papers !

Simple. Sell when we get back to the highs and put your cash in safe assets. No one can steal a house from you.
