Open or closed source hard wallet?

Open or closed source hard wallet? I have one of each. I understand the fundamental differences. Trust people or trust all the people. By this I mean, basically trust one wallet as if it's a bank, or trust the other where everyone who can read code knows what it says and can possibly formulate attacks? Am I correct in my thought processes? Is one truly better than the other? Or is it your own personal feeling about the company's trustworthiness. I'm just asking for the overall sentiment. I have a secuX, which has been great so far but is closed. I just got a Keystone which is open. Thanks for your thoughts in advance. Much love and good luck to you in your endeavors.

Is Crypto Another Form Of Gambling?

I was kinda surprised when I read the news from Financial Times that the cross-section of the UK's MPs that seems to see it as needless to regulate cryptocurrency suggested that it should be viewed as "a form of gambling" and be regulated as such. Without relying on my own understanding of "gambling," I quickly used the help of the Oxford Dictionary through Google, and it states; 1. Play games of chance for money; bet. 2. Take risky action in the hope of a desired result. The second one seems to fit crypto best, so it's clear they know what they are saying. Now, do you agree that crypto should be seen as a form of gambling? And if this eventually comes through, what should we expect as the limitations it might bring to the crypto space?

Is there a legitimate place or way to sell hardware wallets?

First of all, please let me know if this should not be posted here and I will remove it. A little over a year ago I bought a bunch of hardware wallets that I was planning to give to friends and family at Christmas and for a variety of reasons did not end up doing that. As a result, I have 19 Nano Ledger S wallets that I no longer need. They are all factory sealed. I know that there are multitudes of scams surrounding cryptocurrency, so I assumed that people would not be open to buying wallets from individuals, but I wanted to check here to see if that is true. Is there any legitimate place and/or way I can sell these hardware wallet that I have?

I finally memorized my private key

It took awhile but I can recite all in order. I broke them down in to groups of threes, and made a mental image of each group. I also remembered the first character in each word to help jog the memory of a group. Like BTC might be Bald Turtle Corn, and I picture a plate of corn being eaten by a bald turtle. Obviously this is not a solid solution on its own, but in tandem with my other security practices, it certainly doesn't hurt. It feels good to not be completely dependent on a metal plate, though I won't be fully depending on my memory either.
