I stopped trying to unplug some of my family members from the matrix. I honestly believe, bitcoin is not for everyone, and I'm okay with that. You're either going to understand the protocol and obtain some. Or a crisis might force you into it. I don't see governments taking a pause on debasing money.
If you are privileged to have a credit card, and bank account, you might think bitcoin is not for you. But how many money crisis do we have left before you are forced to pay attention?

Bitcoin enthusiast & community member. Not Satoshi Nakamoto, just a knots node runner pleb, zapping other plebs with received Zaps. Let's make bitcoin fun together! ๐๐
Ah, fudge it! I need the sats to give away to the plebs. Please don't make me regret it.

For a "Bitcoin" conference. There sure are a lot of shitcoiners, and fudsters on there. I had to stop feeding the trolls.
To the plebs defending Ledger. Tell you what, just give me a refund for my Nano X, and I'll sit my ass down. Here is a lightning invoice for convenience.

To me it boils down to this. I was sold a "cold" storage device. "Hardware wallets are designed to keep private keys off the internet and away from the online connection points that hackers can get to." Quote from Ledger's documentation.
I don't care that it's split into three shards and encrypted. Ledger's now have the ability to send information about your keys to third parties "online".
Do you now see how it completely defeats the purpose of a "cold" storage product with a feature update? Doesn't matter if I need to opt-in. The attack vector is now there. This is now a hot-wallet to me.

How Can You Sign Online Transactions When Your Private Key is Offline?
Ledger hardware wallets keep your keys offline even as you transact with online blockchain apps and services; but how does that work exactly?
#bitcoin
The whole point of cold storage was that the keys never leave the device. Ledger just lost my business for ever Laura.
I need new recommendations for a cold storage wallet. Since I'm going to be spending shinny new coin. What recommendations do you have that offer QR code scanning into the device? I was planning on buying their Stax, but with this new shenanigans, I'm out!
What hardware wallet do you recommend?

I never thought I'd ever be happy to see ~50 sat/vB transactions back on the table again. #bitcoin
"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." -Henry Ford

When I'm old I'll be telling stories by the camp fire.
"Back in my day transactions used to be 1 sat/vB".
To which someone will respond "shut-up boomer".
How the heck did I end up with the same amount of Zaps I zapped out? I'm truly at awe with the community. I'll be zapping these out tomorrow. I got to go Zzzz.
