You will still be liable for $50. And you again ignored my point about hardware wallets making theft a non-problem.

Actually it can still be stolen, but like an impenetrable safe full of money, of no use to the thief. You’d still be screwed though!

Not screwed, because a hw wallet can easily be backed up by writing down the 12/24-word seed in a safe/hidden spot.

Our discussion thread demonstrates that more education is needed around hardware wallets, as most people have no idea how they work or even that they exist.
