What happens if Trezor, Ledger ect wont exist anymore?
You can even create your own hardware wallet if you want (https://seedsigner.com/) (https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-diy)

This is completely insane. I don't think people realise how incredible this is. Bitcoins works.
You can build your own hardware wallet using SpecterDIY or SeedSigner . Both are great projects but I enjoy Specter the most.

Why does everybody trust wallets so much?
Alternatively you can purchase multiple devices from different manufacturers and create a multisig wallet that requires multiple signatures from multiple devices. Wallet software like Specter-Desktop can help you with this. They also have a DIY signer https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-diy

Coldcard post anti-forensics for paranoid people
As you can see, the default firmware of Coldcard is hardcoded with values d13e and cc10. We are going to change it to make it look like a benign USB device, more on it later. First, clone the original firmware from Github: https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware We now need to edit the file called ./stm32/COLDCARD/shared/usb.py: COINKITE_VID = 0xd13e CKCC_PID = 0xcc10

Hardware/Software wallets and backdoors implemented by different nations?
Software altered? You were supposed to download from source and flash it yourself. So why did you alter it? No one other than you could have altered it! https://github.com/Coldcard/firmware
- Multisig 2 of 3 for a single person, with all cold wallets as Tails + Electrum? Is it a good idea for safer security? Or just an unnecessary overkill?

5 year old tails safe?
Consider holding long term with a solution like this. Have you ever use a hardware wallet like a coldcard

Is it safe to buy bitcoin on a fidelity account?
Coldcard has many other security features as well. You can find more about them online. Probably the safest hard & cold wallet on the market right now. But most people don't buy it because of their $400 price tag. But definitely worth it for anyone holding more than a pretty penny.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing specter-diy and firmware you can also consider the following projects:
seedsigner - Use an air-gapped Raspberry Pi Zero to sign for Bitcoin transactions! (and do other cool stuff)
TXQR-Android - Based off of the principles in https://github.com/divan/txqr
trezor-firmware - :lock: Trezor Firmware Monorepo
trezor-hardware - :wrench: Hardware design of Trezor
bisq - A decentralized bitcoin exchange network
bitbox02-firmware - Firmware code of the BitBox02 hardware wallet
txqr - Transfer data via animated QR codes
BlueWallet - Bitcoin wallet for iOS & Android. Built with React Native
QRCodeGenerator - A QR code generator written in pure Swift. Unlike Apple's built-in APIs for QR code generation, this package allows more sophisticated and tunable encoding techniques.
umbrel - A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, any Ubuntu/Debian system, or a VPS.
