A lot of honest bitcoiners getting thrown under the bus for recommending coldcard, it ain't right, it ain't tight
Tbh I feel like it's more the devs (like me) who never verified anything that is more...
Part of the reason that I don't want to jump on the outrage bandwagon about those guys - aside from the fact that I have learned so much from them - is that I can totally relate to their negligence.
If it hadn't been for a shipping delay from Coinkite I would have set up ppl close to me on coldcards without having done my due diligence. I researched a lot, and was familiar with all the steps, but when it came down to it I would have been recommending to people - people that trust me -something that I had not fully verified myself.
The podcasters got paid for it? Yes, they did. But I have also been in work situations that I did sincerely but without completely thinking through the ramifications and which now make me wince. If there were some kind of blow up about it, there's not much I could say besides sorry.
