Couple gets in around 1am. Arguing before the door closes. She says "you always do this." He says "I didn't think it was a big deal." She says "you told your mother about the hardware wallet." Silence. Heavy silence. The kind where I turn the radio down so I don't miss anything. He says "she's my mom, she asked what I was doing with my savings." She says "and you told her we have a Ledger with our entire savings on it. Your mother who tells the pharmacist everything. Who told her dentist about your hemorrhoid surgery." I swallow a laugh. He sinks lower in the seat. She continues. "Next time you want to be honest with mommy, also tell her you forgot the PIN twice this month and I had to remind you." He says "that's different." She says "how?" He doesn't answer. We're on the bridge now. She's holding her phone like a weapon. He's staring out the window like a man watching his freedom disappear. She turns to me suddenly. "Do you have a hardware wallet?" I say "I just drive." She says "smart man." He says "I thought trust was important in a relationship." She says "trust is important. Operational security is survival." Dropoff. She pays in cash, exact amount, no tip. He tries to tip me five bucks. She grabs his hand. Says "we don't reward bad OPSEC." Door closes. They walk into the building still arguing. If those two ever split up, that Ledger is going to be the most contested asset in the divorce. Mark my words. #btc #nightfare #stories #opsec #sats
