This is a huge nerd fail
🤣🤣
The real attack was social. Coinkite sold us the idea of being "badass bitcoiners" who "use the tools", and people bought into it. Pride before the fall for everyone involved. #Bitcoin Core? That's for old people! We are young and cool. We got too cute as a space. This is the cost.

All Security Theater
Just a Mindless Ritual That made you feel like your doing something important
I’m so sorry for what you are going through brother
So much opsec LARPing all while being blissfully ignorant of the lurking abject failure of bad code that was poorly reviewed, if not ignored. Families and futures rekt... for what? Awful arrogance.
Maximalism and its tendency to create affinity with total cunts and their broken caalculators was a mistake.
Bitcoin space is full of too many products built for Butlerian Jihad types who confuse anti-human UX and absurdist friction with “security”…
The larp becomes painfully obvious in hindsight 😂🤣
When it auto generates your seed phrase why is fantastic entropy not the default??
If you plug that shit into a 9-volt battery, then you were either playing make pretend or you really didn't trust that piece of shit hardware. If you didn't trust that piece of shit hardware, you shouldn't have been using the built in RNG.
Hell yea
For once I agree with hodl. Maybe he will finally realize he’s been complicit with bad actors for some time.
Welcome to reality, where marketing all the protection in the world won’t save you from a single line of code, enjoy your stay
Same bro
It’s naive for sure, a lack of awareness more than anything. I’m guilty of this
That's good.
Yah it's kinda of insane
Developer myopia is common. That's why checklists were invented.
It only took sticking to first principles.
The fucking thing wasn't open source.
Shame on influencers promoting this crap.
Shit so fucked up man. I almost got rekt. My passphrase saved me but very stressful night helping friends.
Post of the year right here 🤣🤣🤣😅
But typical. Get obsessed with some hot feature and neglect the dull basics you can't impress anyone with.
I see the same thing going on with the private messaging discussion on Nostr. I try to educate people about the topic, but they just want to tell me I'm being paranoid or overly-cautious. But if there is a leak (there will be one), they'll rip the developers to shreds and say, _But you were supposed to know better!_
Because we are. We're supposed to know better. We're supposed to be the adults in the room.
Bad taste to kick someone when they're down.
I left MtGox at most a couple months before that hack, and I don't even remember why as it was to Coinbase. May have been for shitcoin purchases honestly lol.
Dice rolls here. They were always one of the coolest things I thought CCs made easy. Shocked so many didn't use them.
One of the best decisions I made in my trading journey was learning from Craig.
He never promised quick profits or a "secret strategy." Instead, he emphasized the fundamentals: understanding market structure, managing risk, staying disciplined, and thinking long term. Those lessons changed the way I approach both crypto and the stock market.
If you're new to investing, don't focus on finding shortcuts. Find someone who teaches you how to protect your capital, control your emotions, and make informed decisions. The profits can come later—good habits come first.
Thanks, Craig, for showing that successful trading is built on patience, education, and consistency, not hype.

A DIY Jade on a cheap, general-purpose ESP32 would have done better. Yet nvk took a piss at it any chance he got.

Someone needs to make a calculator firmware for the Coldcard. Thats all its good for.
That is not true. Even a broken clock can tick correctly, twice per day.
I do consider nvk a friend and I did generally recommend the coldcard when asked though I always put it amongst Trezor and ledger. I would tell people “get a trezor a ledger or a coldcard” was kind of my stock line for non technical people. The reason I put coldcard last and would often steer people towards a ledger or a trezor is because coldcard is intimidating for the average person. I had assumed it was secure though to the degree I assume all HW’s are. In hindsight we now know that was not true.
What do you recommend to non technical normies?
I have generally recommended people to ledger, Trezor and coldcard. I have never been an explicit or paid shill of any specific hardware wallet. In fact on clubhouse I often steered people away from coldcard because it’s more scary and complicated for non technical users. Btw my actual and explicit recommendation for years has been geographically dispersed multi vendor multi Sig, unfortunately that recommendation more often than not falls on deaf ears because it sounds scary and confusing.
You're not gonna believe this. 🤙
View quoted note →Absolutely
My sentiments too, this is so fucked up.
View quoted note →Non technical normies won't self custody. That's always been a lost cause.
I’m afraid to recommend anything at this point.
Yeah wrong threat model. His argument against commodity hardware (laptops) was that 'you have to drill out the wifi card' or something along those lines.
Risk assessment is a funny thing. I honestly think there are a lot of technically brilliant people out there who are genuinely bad at it, without realizing.
