I've always found this weird. Lot of people I respect and trust in the Bitcoin space recommend the ColdCard and then I see NVK acting like this. Feels weird.
It is weird and its not weird. Many people know him personally and my guess is that he just likes trolling and being toxic online. I have been around people like NVK for many years. Its not uncommon in smart technical people to behave like this. Its counter productive though. I expect that NVK is a nice guy if you get to know him. Bitcoin has a taste for toxic behavior online especially. It shouldn't be surprising. I don't mind people being opinionated and sharing that but I don't think it is helpful when we point the guns at our allies.

Certainly, I just listened to like 7 hours worth of NVK podcast material over the last 2 weeks. He's very obviously a smart guy who cares about us winning and I value his opinion a lot. Your point about point guns at allies is the main issue for me. I'm all for keeping people honest and aware of what's going on, just not a fan of the hostility towards a project who I've never heard bad things about outside of him 🤷♂️
