For wise-asses moving the goalpost of securing your bitcoin today, you can royally go fuck yourself.

If a person has taken the steps to:
1. Buy a bitcoin only hardware wallet, which is widely respected and mentioned by most of the big bitcoin proponents in the space where one might be getting their info from, such as podcasters etc

2. Keeping it airgapped

3. Not even sharing home address during purchase to avoid wrench attacks

4. Taking good care to stamp seed on steel

5. Maybe even doing yearly drills to check up on funds and hardware

6. And lost their funds today despite all the above measures

7. NOT following the vendors guide under the subpage /paranoia

8. Being told to only do multi-sig only if very comfortable to avoid locking yourself out of funds

Then don't be coming at them today and say "you should have known you needed to roll dice too, it's your own fault"

The steps this person has taken were FAR BEYOND what is imaginable for a non-techie person and accusing them of not taking enough care to secure funds is bat-shit crazy to me and is simply evidence that this experiment has failed. Bitcoin has not been secure today. Loss of funds from highly secure setups has occurred.

"Best devs in the world" claim thoroughly debunked, now both on the bitcoin software implementations side AND the bitcoin hardware side.

This event is devastating and as much as the loss of funds breaks my heart it is also an identity crisis on my effort and belief in this incredible project.

Bitcoin has not been secure today and the threshold to actually make it secure has shown to be overwhelming and not at all ready for anyone who is not an expert in cryptography.

I'm just so devastated and this has been a hard day and i'm extremely tired and sad.

bitcoin is secure, software isnt im sorry but important distinction that NEEDS to be made. who you should be mad at are the people who have repeatedly said dont trust verify, while shiling a product they didnt even care to verify.. point the anger where its due not at the ones reminding others of...

Yep, you can't expect people to spend $200 for a signer and expect them to dice rolls to make it work.

Today is a massive failure of a company in the bitcoin security space, not a failure of the plebs.

Iโ€™m also hearing โ€œexpertsโ€ say, โ€œIf these devices generated your seed phrase, if you can, move your coins to an exchange.โ€ Unbelievable.

Crypto trading changed completely after learning from Craig. Every lesson emphasized patience, precision, and disciplined execution instead of emotional decisions. Staying committed to that process helped produce over $100,000 in profits within just one month and a half. The experience proved that t...

Rollo, JW Weatherman, Peter Todd and others were right. Donโ€™t go with Bitcoin specific hardware. The whole industry got distracted from giving people noob friendly and actually secure wallets. nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl nostr:npub1au23c73cpaq2whtazjf6cdrm...

Dont trust, no need to verify... Roll your own entropy with real physical dice, no need to trust any software/hardware/device!

I never imagined I could see such steady progress until I started learning from Craig. His approach is practical, easy to understand, and focused on building long-term success instead of chasing unrealistic profits. Thanks to his guidance, I turned a $25,000 investment into $90,000. That experience ...

Given that you were advised to *NOT* roll dice is where the injustice lies. I never trusted a hardware wallet, no matter how securely it is shipped, no matter how "reputable" the supplier. There can be no guarantee the hardware isn't compromised upstream of manufacturing. But I wouldn't expect the a...

You and many others fell for Bitcoin maximslist ideology. Many Bitcoin OGs have warned you about the maximalist trap. Ignorance, a sense of superority and a cult like mindless followership are a bad combo when the security and privacy of family and friends are at stake. Maybe some people now can ...

You can blame whoever you want. Bitcoin doesn't care. Math doesn't care. If a car says it's designed to be safe for a baby to be left in it on a summer day, you trusting that? I'm just glad this happened as early as it did. Maybe people can finally learn what we should have learned when it happene...

We already had Trezor. It is perfectly secure and uses multiple sources of randomness (both the device, and a connected computer) for key generation. The Trezor is an extremely well connected device. It should be obvious from both physiognomy (disgusting fat Mexican) and behavior (deranged, pompous,...
