Another way of understanding what just happened is Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
He crossed the Rubicon River with his army and went to Rome to essentially take over the Roman Empire through force. We call it "Crossing the Rubicon" because once he crossed there was no turning back; Caesar was committed and everything changed.
The world changed.
Coldcard was AI's Rubicon moment. Not just for Bitcoin . . . for everything. From now on, if you are not using tools like Kimi for ongoing, continuous code review, circuit review, business practices and SOP creation etc. you will not survive. This goes far beyond bitcoin. Banks, colleges, governments, war machines, businesses of any size making anything or providing any service are now forever at risk.
Some will think this is terrible, Some will not. Those who do want to operate under the legacy lies that we've been told for centuries. Those who do not will feel a sense of questioning rise from within: What is wealth?
People laugh at the Amish and Quakers etc. for being backwards and unsophisticated yet they are almost entirely unaffected by modern complications. They believe wealth is something more primal, more connected to the land. Wealth is measured in head of cattle, family size and health, land, soil, neighborly relationships, tools, skills, and craftsmanship.
There is no going back to the world that was for me. I have been thinking along these lines for a long time now. This just crystalized everything. Pensions, 401Ks, bank accounts, "get rich or die tryin'" mentalities, corporate ladder climbs, expensive restaurants, wearable symbols of fiat wealth. No. All that shit is over.
As far as Bitcoin is concerned, I'm not fucking leaving.
Bitcoin, beans, bibles, bovines, bullets, land, love, and family.
