ColdCard + Sparrow is the goal imo. Next level. This made it super easy:
looks like atomic wallet was compromised - used by millions of people around the world - not the first and will not be the last popular wallet to be compromised
if you are saving significant amounts of bitcoin consider upgrading your setup to coldcard + sparrow wallet - it is an accessible, powerful, and incredibly secure setup - in the future you can use the same setup to easily upgrade to multisig

Coldcard has a big security vulnerability. Secure elements..🤭
Just curious what’s your recommendation?
I think The Trezor Model T is the most secureable. But you have to do it right. I don't trust secure elements. Because you have trust them lol. They're closed source.
So the Coldcard has two potential back doors. Instead of one. Still, most of these wallets are secure enough for most of you. But If your threat level is high. Then you need something more. Like the Trezor..🙂
The reason they have 2 (I believe shooting for 3 in new models) is to eliminate this trust.
Being skeptic is healthy, but for sure the threat vectors doesn't double with the addition of more secure elements. Rather the opposite, the difficulty to hack compounds.
Actually the threat does double. The government probably already has backdoor access to every secure element. They probably designed the backdoors. Our people are the best in the world. You don't know what you're dealing with. Did Snowden teach you nothing..🤔🤭🙂
Sounds like you may get it. They're trying to corrupt and capture Bitcoin. Much like has happened with the healthcare industry.
Step one is to normalize trust in secure elements. Which are all controlled by the man lol.
Step two is to corrupt the Bitcoin core nodes. With ordinals and other external scammy non Bitcoin garbage.
The Bitcoin full nodes defend the Bitcoin protocol. They defend It's quality and security. They are the power. The Knights of the protocol. Keepers of the faith, defenders of the realm.
Bitcoin core development has to further decentralize into at least two tracks.
Track 1) Bitcoin Pure. Hardcore Bitcoin. No external scammy elements.
Track 2) Bitcoin other. Questionable external scammy elements. Not really a part of Bitcoin Core.
Then the full node operators can choose which track they want to run and support.
For example, I don't plan on continuing to support ordinals. Or BRC-20 tokens with my full nodes.
This is the only way to protect Everyone's Bitcoin, and Everyone's savings.
Fun stuff..💻💎🧡👑🦅🚀♾️🤠🗽💪😁
EVERYONE!..😆
#[4], build a #[5] and sleep like a baby. It’s the only HWW I can recommend for anyone with a good conscience. #Bitcoin #plebchain
Don’t trust anything
Coldcard and Electrum is great too
