The Bitcoiner community itself has become a lucrative business, thousands of vapid podcasts that in turn have sponsors of different kinds or look at the Bitcoin conferences.

This is not bad, all business is good but you must take it into account, we return to my maxim of life is a conjunction of interests.

You will not see podcast promoting Robosats, but you will see podcast promoting HodlHodl (KYC business even if they say they don't).

You won't see podcasts advertising hardware wallets free of secure elements, few will tell you the truth that from a technical and cryptographic point of view a Trezor T with SD protection is more secure with a coldcard.

I never saw anyone promoting joinmarket, I did see many criticisms of joinmarket from people who don't have enough technical knowledge and repeating Samourai's propaganda book.

Most podcasts will tell you a lot of lies that frankly hurt the community, so be careful, as I say Bitcoin has become a business for the Bitcoiners themselves and whoever can take advantage of others.

I think you are right that there is an element of marketing in almost all podcasts, buyer beware and robosats is amazing. I need to check join market. Quick question what is SD protection? Thanks

Trezor being an open architecture, at least until Trezor T, has a “bug” that allows you to extract the seed and once extracted you can brute force attack the pin.

This was solved with the secure SD function where the seed encryption key is the pin + key on the SD card (256 bits).

The attacker needs to have both (pin + sd) or it is technically impossible to brute force decrypt the seed given the length of the key.

Thank you Sir much appreciated
