I do believe in simplicity.

It is astonishing, as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit.

— Henry David Thoreau

That final clause, in modern language:

How singular an affair he thinks he must omit = How every matter seems uniquely important when he tries to decide what can be left undone.

This person just commented on my post.
What's this that keeps popping up now?

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I’d say NVK is a state actor who intentionally put a backdoor in #COLDCARD so people would lose their coins, then pushed a firmware update that bricked their devices and shattered their trust in self-custody and those who promote it.

Convincing ordinary people that holding their own Bitcoin is too dangerous, driving them back onto regulated exchanges, and making “not your keys, not your coins” sound like reckless extremist advice.

Turning sovereign money into another asset held by custodians, where it can be monitored, frozen, rugged, and confiscated.

…but I’m not a conspiracy theorist who connects speculative dots just to farm engagement and make people more paranoid than they need to be.
