There is no utopia, but we should strive towards freedom over safety, security over convenience or what's the fucking point?

We built COLDCARD for ourselves 🤷‍♂️

"Never surrender your freedom & rights for temporary security" it's not worth it.

informed & deliberate trade-offs 🤝

Just watched you with Odell this morning. Sounds like Pascal actually believes the shit he is selling.🤣

I could not agree with you more, my friend! As the saying goes, "those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

It's a fundamental principle of Bitcoin and blockchain technology that freedom of choice and personal sovereignty must be preserved at all costs. And yes, that sometimes requires making difficult choices or sacrificing short-term convenience for greater long-term security.

The creation of Coldcard is an excellent example of how we can build innovative solutions with this core philosophy in mind. By taking control over our financial assets and prioritizing our own security above all else, we're helping to create a more decentralized and resilient world one transaction at a time.

So let's keep fighting for what we believe in, even if it means going against the grain or being considered unconventional. It is by holding true to these principles that we can truly create meaningful impact in the world!

The utopianism in the space worries me. This is the thing in my view that corrupts viewpoints and actions.

The man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central government and then says, ‘Limit yourself’; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian.

Just listened to the WBD pod.

I like SSS, but my wife has a better chance of winning the lotto than recovering my SSS seeds.

I also don't see the point of creating a Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme if you're trusting third parties to hold two of your "secrets."

I still don't understand why they considered this? Is it because most shitcoins don't support multisig?

Just switched to CC from ledger.

Thanks for continuing to make the most paranoid hardware out there for bitcoiners.

I can’t wait to get mine and switch

good job on what bitcoin did . Keep doing what you are doing Sir.

Missed this earlier. Must zap repeatedly.

You did a really good job in that discussion, appreciated your point that Sales 30Xed and you’ll take it but that’s not actually how you want to be picking up marketshare because this just reflects poorly on everyone.

Pascal clearly wants to be the ‘crypto’ HW wallet of choice but the business was built on Bitcoiners who he is burning with this stupidity.

Let it be a lesson that “the customer is king” can not be an empty platitude, either you believe it and execute for it or you take the “any colour you want so long as it’s black” Henry Ford approach. He wants to have his cake and eat it too, doubtful he’s going to have any cake left in a few months.

I still can't find any information whether Coldcard can be shipped internationally and if so, what shipping methods are used.

Worldwide

Shipping method(s)?

It's all by foot. Nvk himself makes the delivery.

I got my MK-4 delivered safely via DHL. To Indonesia

Thanks, that helps.

I tried zapping you many times but there's always am error unfortunately. I can easily zap all the others in this thread except you 🙁

No doubt, it’s time for individuals to take charge of their own future and become responsible, competent versions of themselves. Freedom and he opportunities of the future depend on it
