Imagine being one of the people who had their Coldcard drained a couple of years ago. Everyone just called you an idiot for losing your Bitcoin. Podcasters said the solution was to use your Coldcard harder and don’t be stupid this time. I bet some of those people will literally die before they touch Bitcoin again.
You know how you let yourself think that everything will be all right if you can only get to a certain place or do a certain thing. But when you get there you find it's not that simple.

The most secure seed in existence was generated using the entropy from a single Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
The current state of the consumer computer hardware industry and the automotive industry triggered my prepper instincts, and now I have a larger stockpile of spare parts than I probably need.
As far as I know, the Coldcard was designed and evaluated by quite competent people.
The same tools used to exploit the vulnerability in Coldcards are pointed at the legacy banking system designed by boomers, the stock market designed by finance wonks, and CBDCs designed by bureaucrats.
The damage done by the Coldcard exploit might pale in comparison to the incoming bloodbath.
We escape catastrophe more often on our good fortune than on our wits.


Behaving with humility when you are convinced you are right might be the only way to earn mercy when you are wrong, and everything you know will eventually be proven wrong.

Everyone who shorted casino dice manufacturers looking real silly right about now.
I guess BTC AND Coldcards are gonna be cheap for a while.

Tyrannical governments are not an aberration.
Tyranny is the purpose of government.
Most people have been convinced that a some level of tyranny is necessary, and there must be a constant struggle to maintain constraints on the tyranny machine they have deemed necessary.
