Coldcard setup is pretty complex for a non-technical person. I had no idea I needed a microSD, off to Best Buy I go.

You can set up a Coldcard without the microSD
The microSD is a nice option to have, as it minimizes any chance of a virus infecting your device, but itβs not entirely necessary
you literally need a piece of paper and a pencil for cold storage π€·π»ββοΈπ€
you don't absolutely have to use a microSD, you can use it just fine via an USB, there are just tradeoffs to using it through USB
Their website says I need a microSD to receive bitcoin at the address I generated. Is that not true? Iβm so confused.

You would want the micro USB at least for importing the cold card βwalletβ into your software wallet (such as Sparrow if in a desktop) Receiving bitcoin would be 100% managed by the software wallet and would not require the cold card (it would only need the micro SD and CC for sending the bitcoin)
