yes exactly I agree. I’m grateful Bitcoin only wallets exist. I’m grateful there’s others besides Coinkite. but they were the best ones. #SlayYourHeroes
this sucks. it’s the hw wallets that got me to buy in the first place. I was NOT gonna store on a hard drive
when Luke Dash Jr got 200 bitcoin stolen that was INSANE cuz he’s such an expert. but he didn’t use hw wallets!
Multivendor multisig is the way to go but that’s incredibly difficult and complex instructions for someone new with no technical knowledge to follow.
Bitkeys are a good intermediary option but honestly everything has tradeoffs. Diversifying custody setups is probably best practice.

I’ll listen to this later!
yes it’s like trezor sells a bitcoin only Safe 5. a middle ground between being non-Bitcoin only, but still offering a bitcoin only option!!
Coinkite had so much support. this is so sad.
ledger rekt itself tho because the new firmware gives the company a backdoor to ur seed which is insane.
an ironic thing on “bitcoin only” firmware and wallets is that sometimes it means there are less eyes on it. hypothetically general crypto wallets like ledger and trezor can have more eyes on software updates
Yeah the total losses aren't near as bad as something like FTX but in some ways this is definitely worse morale-wise. When people lose money on an exchange going under we can feel bad but say "you should have known better than to keep your money on an exchange" but these people were doing what they were told was right. These were their offline keys. We look like fools and all the things we have said look retarded. But hopefully it's like a plane crash and the errors made extensively studied by the industry so self-custody becomes much stronger in the end.
