Thank you to all the crowd following wannabe sovereign individual clowns who used Coldcard.
You have created a great buying opportunity for me. Thank you.
I told you many times - learn to build your own cold storage.
Its fucking easy.
But you ignored.
You listened to the rentseeking parasites who touted Coldcard.
Parasites and traitors like NSA mole @DarthCoin
Maybe now you will make the effort to learn how to build your own cold storage.
Or maybe not.
Up to you.

Follow the electrum.org link provided.
Ideally use a Linux OS loaded onto a USB.
This way your cold wallet never goes online and you are in total control.
Loading a Linux OS onto a USB data stick is probably the hardest part.

Here's one guide to creating a USB based Linux OS with memory.

As always DYOR and spend time and care learning the tech- but I have done it and am no way a tech guy- just a low tech person but serious about not trusting third parties with my life savings.

Get the USB Linux OS working then closely follow the electrum cold storage guide.

It is fun and great learning and gives you secure storage with complete control.

True self sovereignty is not acquired via highly touted and costly branded gadgets.
It is DIY.
