My question is, who controls the master seed

Thank you for putting this out into the ether. It's really needed in these times.

This was spoken about in the recent pod done by the ocean team. The idea that people would do the right thing by pointing their hash elsewhere, when a pool gets centralized or malicious, is a long dead idea. The main reason is, according to Luke, "the large miners at foundry and ANT Pool aren't bitcoiners". That cannot be further from the truth. The miners we have today have a different philosophy and understanding of bitcoin than miners from a decade ago

The SilkRd maxis would vehemently disagree with you

These discussions dilute the technical Socratic debates that should be had solely about the tech.

I get that the NVK criticism, I seldom share that, however if he shits on a product, he at least does so with technical merits(his opinion).

I don't think there's a technical reason for critiquing ColdCards or any of Coinkite's products.

I also respect, your views your opinions. But I believe you dilute the message by stirring this muddy waters.

I respect our list regardless, as it's helpful.

What's the beef with Coldcard. I ask this cos it seems they were intentionally omitted

MSTR owns 0 sats, Coinbase and Fidelity own sats on their behalf.

Plus they're showing a gap of 250k+ bitcoin in any known addresses. Shady stuff going on.

That's what they're acquiring.

Etherscans would be used to scheck for their reserves. lol

AWESOME

Can't wait for the Strategic Wrapped BTC Reserve

MSTR adds 11k Wrapped BT, further showing that they own 0 bitcoin.

lol, tell that to Mallers, Odell, Marty et al. that propped up this scammer and the idea that bitcoin needed a politician to succeed.

you benefit from it, yes. The fairest payout system in bitcoin's history, non custodially as well.

OK How would you say it compares to DATUM!!!!!!!!

Everyone who fits the description of the post
