So if BTC went to $10,000 then you would still buy a Trezor for 1 BTC?

I would never buy a Trezor. Not because of the price, I don't consider Trezor beneficial to me.

BTC pricing is possible only when the demand for BTC is stable (may be by the year 2140?). Right now the BTC prices are not stable, and therefore we should use a stable currency as a base.

BTC Pricing will never be stable until there are things that can be consistently bought with BTC.
It is a catch 22, Can't be stable without a stable market, Can't have a stable market without stable pricing.
The only way to break the 22 is to price things using BTC with no respect to any other currency.

Hello, typing in red does not make your post scarier or whatelse, just more ridicolous.

Stop false quoting me. None of my posts say that.
I'm just copy-pasting your messages, so sorry but it is not false quoting but true quoting.

Not to argue the usefulness or uselessness of Trezor.
If you say bullshits about Trezor i correct you. And a paperwallet is NOT an alternative lol.

Cannot use trezor to do any real world btc purchasing/trading, without a accompanying laptop with wifi/3g/4g to get confirmations.
That's the entire point of Trezor, securely creating transactions, it does not connect to internet exactly for that: to be SECURE. Every alternative require that: the hardware where the private key is used to make a transaction must never connect to the internet. Otherwise you are at risk of losing all your coins.

Still would be better with a paper wallet
And how exactly to you spend your coins?

Cheap netbook + TrueCrypt + Armory = One Secure Dedicated BTC Machine.
You have to decrypt it eventually, and if that netbook get hacked/infected you lose everything.

It is pretty simple to do offline tx's with an old laptop as I do using the CIYAM Safe (which is actually *safer* because it does txs entirely "air-gapped" via QR codes - something their device cannot do)
That is a working alternative. But you have to mess with QR Codes, read it with your smartphone or with your webcam.

Also i doubt Trezor will be sold at 1000$ lol.

QR codes aren't really a big bother when you consider the security of being 100% air-gaped. Also if you happen to have an old laptop hanging around then you have the most secure solution available at pretty much zero cost.

With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.
