I spent the last week on vacation. Before leaving, I asked myself whether I should take my hardware wallets with me. “Nah, I'm not going to need them. I’ll just lose them.”

I woke up Friday (Thursday? It's a blur.) to multiple emails and texts alerting me to the COLDCARD bug. I was three states away from mine.

Had a good conversation with the wife and kids on the drive home. Listened to Natalie's emergency PSA episode. Talked about Bitcoin, cryptography, and Rudyard Kipling's “If”.

Fortunately, I wasn't drained. The coins are moved to another wallet while I learn how to level up the Op Sec. Still emotionally exhausted. Every wallet is now suspect. No sense of security at all.
