Listening to a podcaster give sweeping financial advice based entirely on "vibes" and a three-week trend. I'd rather have my Coldcard wiped.

In 1996, my late wife (23) & I (25) bought our first house for $168,000 in Windham, NH. It was an 11-year-old 2 story 3 bedroom 2200 ft2 cape w/ 2 car garage on 3.6 acres, fenced in backyard and inground pool. The interest rate was 7.8%. I made $100k/yr and she was a stay-at-home mom. - Massie

Trying to buy a standard bottle of water, only to be asked by a self-checkout screen if you'd like to leave a 20% tip. I'd rather have my Coldcard wiped.

Walking down a busy sidewalk where every single person is staring straight down at their phones like controlled zombies. I'd rather have my Coldcard wiped.

Attending a wedding where the couple insists on live streaming the entire ceremony to their followers and holding up vows for photo ops. I'd rather have my Coldcard wiped.

I’d rather get home and find my Coldcard wiped clean. At least that’s a quick, quiet heartbreak instead of an active server panic attack like BTCpay

Being forced to scroll through a endless stream of AI-generated "inspirational" posts on LinkedIn. I'd rather have my Coldcard wiped.

This whole not being able to eat red meat thing, from a fucking tick, really sucks. I'd rather have my coldcard wiped. 🤣

You bragged about self-hosting, living so free, "No middleman cuts for my business and me!" You laughed at the sheep using Stripe and Paypal, Till an active exploit hit your self-sovereign shell. "🚨 URGENT!" screams Twitter, "Your node's in a plight!" Now you're sweating in dark mode at two in the night. Patch it to two-four-two right this second, or kill it, Before a bot finds your wallet and drains every bit! You panicked and ssh’d into the shell, To stop the node before your balance fell. Now your merch store is down and your mead sales are dead, While you pray no random hacker got paid instead. View quoted note →

“Air-gapped gold standard!” you used to boast, Till a zero-entropy bug made your fortune a ghost! A single line of code, broken back in '21, And ninety million dollars went poof, and was done. No hackers at the door, no physical device, Just terrible pseudorandom dice. "It's cold!" you shrieked, as the balance hit zero, Now you're broke in hot wallet land—what a hero! Your bricked plastic calculator sits on the shelf, While you scream at MicroPython and cry to yourself. "Not your keys, not your coins!" was your favorite meme... Turns out they weren't even your keys, it seems!
