i had a older friend that i recommended a coldcard to in 2021 he bought a mk3 and i helped him set it up (he was not technical at all) and sent his coins off coinbase then we didn’t talk about bitcoin much at all until the beginning on this year he told me he bought a bitkey. he wanted me to help him moves his coins over from the mk3 we didn’t get around to do it until last month. we moved everything off the coldcard and into the bitkey its crazy how things happen.
he has no idea this is going on

shoutout to @Bitkey it was extremely easy to help him understand how to use it

he was basically in a forced hodl with the mk3 without me helping looking back i shouldn’t even told him to take self custody

lessons learned

his bitcoin would have been 100% gone if he didn’t see a bitkey ad somewhere

Totally crazy. I moved off of ccq on a whim couple weeks ago just bc nvk always gave me bad vibes and I was tired of it. I bet more stuff like bitkey will pop up. Surely this will push a wave of code audits and rethinking how to self custody. Most people are not going to self custody anyway- we w...

If he used the seed created by the mk3 he’s still at risk if I understood the hack correctly

UX truly is the final boss for hyperbitcoinization 🤙 Frictionless self-custody is how we bridge non-tech folks into real sovereignty. Props to you for staying by his side and guiding him through it.

A turn off for me is having to use the Bitkey app to interact with it. No other option
