I just can’t orange pill anyone anymore. A coworker of mine who I totally provided all of the guidance she needed to safely custody the bitcoin she’s been accepting for the goods she sells, and advising how to routinely sweep her mobile balance to cold storage, didn’t. Not only that, she upgraded her phone and totally wiped her hot wallet when she did a factory reset on the old phone to give back to the dealer. Shit, she could have even just sent me the sats and I could have sent them back to her when she got her new phone set up.

She was surprised and kind of miffed AT ME that her $112 of bitcoin wasn’t just there in her reinstalled wallet app just like if she had it in a bank account. Didn’t read a god damned thing I spoon fed her.

This after me pretty much writing a 5 page children’s book explaining what self custody means and how to get set up with a hardware signer. I give up.
