I got to hold and play around with a bitkey in Miami. I feel like the design aesthetics will make this a wildly popular and approachable device for noobs/normies etc…

Hardcore bitcoiners are going to hate it though.

Not sure if the unofficial demo I got was just buggy or the over-reliance on NFC is a huge mistake. I guess we’ll find out at launch.

Hardcore Bitcoiners hate everything

Mostly accurate. I love bitcoin tho

Me too, but I’m not a “hardcore bitcoiner” for this exact reason. While I am a maximalist, I don’t hate everything that isn’t direct, on-chain transactions. I don’t hate new tech built for Bitcoin

Truer words was never spoked

Link? Not familiar with the device.

It’s this thing from cash app

Ah yes.

that’s just the block implementation of it too, that’s the neat part. you can make an american hodl instance

👀

I want it just as a fidget toy. It's nice that it does bitcoins or whatever

We’re all going to buy one

Of course but this doesn’t mean much as I think I own every hardware wallet you can buy or build lol 😂

agree

disagree

yes

it’s the first properly designed consumer HW/SW/UX Bitcoin product. It not perfect, but I’m sure it will still change the market overnight. World class designers will be hired. Bitcoin wins again 🫡
