Amazing that so many stories of past and present absolutely absurd UX failures / lapses in the ColdCard space are now bubbling to the surface. Use open source tools. Don’t use tools with horrific, anti-human UX design. Complexity and friction are not the same thing as security… #Plebchain

While all the companies and paid influencers are shilling their specific HWW products right now, this is a reminder to remember your PACE planning. PRIMARY ALTERNATE CONTINGENCY EMERGENCY The whole purpose of PACE is to proactively acknowledge that under catastrophic enough conditions, one or even MOST of your favored paths may fail or become inaccessible. PACE does NOT shield you from impact, but it increases the likelihood that catastrophic conditions will not expose you to catastrophic and total loss. You survive, and come less intact than a lucky few perhaps, but far more intact than the vast majority of others. Bitcoin is choose your own adventure and you can just do things. You can use multiple brokerages, have multiple ways of acquiring bitcoin, use multiple devices for key generation, and hold bitcoin in multiple ways across self custody, brokerages, ETFs, etc. No can stop you and you don’t have to care what other people think or give into their stupid internet purity tests. Thank you for your attention on this matter. #Plebchain

In the end, my aversion to absurdist, anti-human UX on a physical device kept me from ever engaging with ColdCard. This situation can certainly make one question all HWWs, but I do not think that is correct. While assigning not blame or shame to those affected, we all take this as a reminder to match our security stack to what we are securing. Also err toward FOSS tools and maybe don’t rely on a single HWW provider when significant holdings (this means something different to everyone tho) are in play. #Plebchain

Very true and incredibly frustrating.

Pay it forward however you can. Keep doing what you do to make the world more beautiful for the future 🤙🏿🧡⚡️

Any idea, why the shutdown?

I mean…Bitcoin is for the FIC too at the end of the day. And Saylor saying a thing doesn’t make it true. It is generally best to ignore named bitcoiners, for much of that they do is driven by ego and greed… Such is life.
