Some Mk3 units generated entropy from roughly 4.5 million possible states instead of the intended keyspace, meaning wallets assumed to be air-gapped and hardware-secured were producing keys weak enough to brute force. This is not a protocol debate, it is a supply chain failure in the exact device category people bought specifically to remove trust from software and exchanges. The uncomfortable pattern: self-custody is being sold as the endgame of sovereignty, but the hardware layer underneath it has had less adversarial scrutiny than the consensus layer everyone argues about publicly. 46% of bitcoin sitting in self-custody means tens of billions of dollars now depend on RNG implementations that most holders never audited and couldn't if they tried. The lesson is not "don't self-custody." It is that sovereignty without verification is just a different flavor of trust, and the industry has spent a decade hardening the protocol while treating the hardware wallet market like a solved problem.
