If I can't withdraw and store it in cold storage. I'm not touching it.
Don't let them make you believe you can't be responsible for 12-24 words. Study Bitcoin.

I'm not buying anymore Apple products until they get their shit together. I'm on an old iPhone X that I was going to replace and splurge on. But instead, I'm going to dust off an old Android phone for Zaps. Thinking my next splurge phone is going to have to be Open Source.
US giving itself a pat on the back because of the new CPI data. Yet, I still can't afford to eat twice a day. If it weren't for the Wendy's $5 Biggie Bag Meals, I'd have to intermittent fast.

I stopped trying to unplug some of my family members from the matrix. I honestly believe, bitcoin is not for everyone, and I'm okay with that. You're either going to understand the protocol and obtain some. Or a crisis might force you into it. I don't see governments taking a pause on debasing money.
If you are privileged to have a credit card, and bank account, you might think bitcoin is not for you. But how many money crisis do we have left before you are forced to pay attention?

To the plebs defending Ledger. Tell you what, just give me a refund for my Nano X, and I'll sit my ass down. Here is a lightning invoice for convenience.

To me it boils down to this. I was sold a "cold" storage device. "Hardware wallets are designed to keep private keys off the internet and away from the online connection points that hackers can get to." Quote from Ledger's documentation.
I don't care that it's split into three shards and encrypted. Ledger's now have the ability to send information about your keys to third parties "online".
Do you now see how it completely defeats the purpose of a "cold" storage product with a feature update? Doesn't matter if I need to opt-in. The attack vector is now there. This is now a hot-wallet to me.
The whole point of cold storage was that the keys never leave the device. Ledger just lost my business for ever Laura.
I need new recommendations for a cold storage wallet. Since I'm going to be spending shinny new coin. What recommendations do you have that offer QR code scanning into the device? I was planning on buying their Stax, but with this new shenanigans, I'm out!
What hardware wallet do you recommend?
