Is a hardware wallet really necessary for any some way competent individual? It’s not very hard to memorise 12 or even 24 words with a passphrase. With a basic understanding of security any old pc or laptop and your own brain is sufficient for secure cold storage.

Agreed, in fact I don't rely on a wallet, but I did when I was receiving the Bitcoin, i.e. you need to create receiving addresses and for OPSEC, you'd want a different address for each UTXO and you'd want at least a watch only wallet to make sure the Bitcoin transactions have arrived validated. You can do this using the mempool, but I'd definitely want to check with at least an XPUB if not a full wallet.

You wouldn't want to use a software wallet (where your private key is connected to the public Internet) for that, so at some point you need to understand how to use a hardware wallet to receive BTC.

Somebody else suggested it's just the Coldcard he doesn't understand, but all wallets work with the same principles. If you've used one hardware wallet, you understand all hardware wallets conceptually.

Saylor is a reactionary, disguising himself in a shroud of talk of economic justice. I don’t know what his plan is but it’s not for the benefit of the masses.

100% is wall st PIMP agent - not a main st charity giver

dorsey donate BTC for nostr - created a ecosystem - give an example what he has done?

he has some academy mstr recruitment etc etc - not single SAT given as zap or bonus

Also, how is Saylor a billionaire if his company pre-Bitcoin was only worth close to a billion, he’s never sold any Bitcoin and he’s bought $2bn of Bitcoin personally from a company that no longer generates income and does nothing other than hold Bitcoin.

Where did the money come from, it’s not debt, because as others here point out, you can’t burn your Bitcoin if its bought using borrowed money?

Billionaires don't store their wealth in fiat currency. There's a word for people who do, we call them poor. πŸ˜‚

trump only accept gold or dollar - deports sats holders too poor

Definitely a con man. And agree, he got a game going of some shitty sort
