Where am I wrong: 1. At some point, in a Bitcoin success scenario, Bitcoin will be owned as a normal thing by normal people 2. Normal people do not play with board game accessories and study for like 100 hours in order to safely store their money 3. Normal people will not store Bitcoin the way that early adopter psychopaths do 4. Constantly focusing on what works for nerds who lead rich, internal, intellectual lives and bullying each other to do things "the right way" just turns off normal people, and makes us part of the problem rather than the solution.

BitKey is actually more hardcore than your average maximalist LARPer. BitKey is multisignature. Are you? BitKey seed generation is multi-vendor (AWS Nitro, App's host mobile OS, and the BitKey itself). Are you?

I cannot wait for us to stop being scared and depressed and start getting mad. The fucking software is the only thing that matters, and we, along with the software, need to start getting hard.

Maxi smoothbrains will immediately go back to recommending all the other hardware wallet toys "they like" and also blindly trust. Similarly, they will immediately begin the search for new, venal influencers that they can farm their brains out to.

The maxis rekt each other fetishizing electronic lifestyle accessories. Don't ever feel obligated to take these people seriously.

People like NVK are proof there is no such thing as assassination markets.

When you give your help and advice away for free, no matter how good it I'd, people think they got what they paid for.

The absolute self-unawareness of bitcoiners rushing to recommend self-custody and self-custody accessories three days after the most disastrous self-custody fuck up ever...

I'm down with the idea that the ColdCard was an exploding pager attack to financially mollify dangerous individuals.

Can someone give me a single, practical, material benefit that a normative person enjoys by self-custodying their Bitcoin?
