What nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 said in the latest Bitcoin.Review pod really reasonated with me
Something along the lines of “if you make hardware wallet UX too easy, people will not grasp the importance of self-custody”
It was using a Coldcard for the first time that I realized that this was serious business.
Make it too seamless and people won’t differentiate between self-custody and holding their wealth in an exchange wallet.
using a graphical interface to access nostr is making you miss the importance of it. Use nak to participate in the network to truly grasp it.
While at it, maybe lets just stop with the nonsense of operating systems, you get bios and a system prompt, then program the fuck out of it to grasp the significance of the invention of computers and its importance.
This is the biggest possible copium and CC cult apologist rhetoric I've heard in a long time.
See, this is once again viewing it in a very black or white way.
I’m not saying everyone should use a Coldcard, but I think it is important to highlight the importance of self-custody which, IN MY CASE, happened when going through setting up an airgaped wallet and signing my first transaction.
Trade-offs are a thing, UX is improving, hopefully a perfect solution comes along at some point but for now, it doesn’t exist
Also, people aren’t handling life savings on NOSTR. I can accept much more compromises and trade-offs from my NOSTR client than from my HWW
