It was never easy being a Bitcoiner.
I've been called an idiot, a cultist, a tin foil hat weirdo... you name it. We've watched Mt. Gox, FTX, and a dozen other disasters wipe people out because they trusted someone else with their coins.
One thing was never questioned: self-custody is the answer.
And now this COLDCARD fuck up ๐คก
I honestly haven't slept properly these last few days. I keep thinking about the Bitcoiners who did everything they thought was right, only to wake up and find their stack gone.
This shit is hard to process for the whole community.
My orange heart goes out to everyone who got hit. It's hard to even imagine what you're going through ๐งก
If there's one takeaway from this mess, it's this: no wallet vendor is sacred. No device is untouchable.
Diversify. Use multisig. Mix hardware wallets from different manufacturers.
Bitcoin is fucking ruthless.
It gives you absolute ownership, but it also demands absolute responsibility.
Stay paranoid. Stay humble. And never let a single vendor become your single point of failure.
AND TOUCH GRASS!
