In need of tips from former compulsive buyers: I'm generally a minimalist on everything but tech related things. How should I fight the urge to get another hardware wallet (Krux and/or Coldcard Q), when I already have enough hardware wallets to provide me, my non-existent heirs, and a small community of people? πŸ˜…

I don't understand the urge at all, isn't it more fun to make your own? πŸ€”

Oh, it is fun building our own! But that's part of the problem.
SeedSigner 1, which I got, is DIY, Krux 2, which I want, is DIY too. Building them is part of the fun, but it means spending money on tech I don't need nonetheless.
It was the same with Jade 3. I got two Jades, a DIY and a retail. It's almost a compulsion. (send help πŸ™ƒ)

Well, tech is my only hobby nowadays. I should give music another chance. The problem is that guitars and music in general can become a pretty expensive hobby too. πŸ˜‚

I'm the opposite, after Bitcoin then go back to focus on non-tech stuff, the goal is to have less and less dependence on others, so I'm digging cooking and sewing, going back to do what people used to do themselves πŸ‘€ and it's really satisfying, being able to create.
Agree with the music thing! the instrument can be quite expensive and really inconvenient to carry around; I learned Bağlama last year and ended up gifting it to a friend.

I gave away all the HW I had. Totally useless for me. More HW for you = more sats for me :)

I get it... For Bitcoin it's not really a must.
But I always find a reason to try a new one. Like, generating ssh/gpg keys with my Jade, doing air gaped nostr stuff with SeedSigner, and so on and so forth.
It's more to experience the tech than to secure the sats.
