First compass and now cold card I’ll never listen to Marty or Odell ever again 🤣

I know this is a crazy conspiracy theory but hear me out……. What if this whole incident with cold cards was long play intelligence operation, leading up to this moment which they knew would happen. Create a on its face cypher punk hardcore Bitcoiner hardware wallet company to get all the hardcore Bitcoiners to use. Purposely not hold onto customer information so that when their own hackers exposed this problem that anyone working at coinkite would not be able to contact cold card customers…. I know this is crazy, but totally possible

I’m so disgusted and disappointed in so many Bitcoin podcasters for pushing so hard for cold card. I’m a fucking retarded Construction worker and I always recommend when orange pilling that people do their own research and find what’s best for them and what they feel comfortable with. If you were pushing cold card in every episode these past few years you can fuck right off. Thank god I tried it once and thought it was too complicated for me.

I feel like unfollowing a few podcasts who backed coinkite and cold card. This is the second products they recommended hurt or burned people. I don’t think I’m gonna trust many people in Bitcoin at this point. Only a few heads who I could see myself fucking with in the streets. The rest of y’all I’m starting to see as weirdos who suck dick and then say your not gay 🤣

So what now with self custody? I’m quickly loosing faith in any self custody Bitcoin wallets. This was the most trusted company in Bitcoin self custody. I don’t know what to think anymore.

I always thought NVK was pompas dick and always thought Cold Cards were kind of shit. I had one for a while and decided I didn’t like it, thank god. There’s been so many companies and instances throughout my #Bitcoin journey that I relied on other people’s advice because I’m not a technically savvy person. Boy am I glad I went my own route and got rid of my cold card. I remember listening to NVK and being like “I would love to smash his head in” because of his arrogance 🤣

Tim Dillon is funniest comedian of all time! I don’t understand how this podcast isn’t the number 1 podcast in the world! 🤣
