On a more emotional note. I really feel for the people that lost funds because of Coinkite. I feel for the average joe that's just trying to get ahead. Who saw his stack go up and never sold. Took advice from people he thought credible. And lost everything. I have and will continue to donate to these victims. I really hope this is a wake up call for the space. You can't blindly trust anyone let alone podcasters. Many of them clearly have extreme bias if not from close friendships from business ties. It is easy to escape Fiat World and seek comfort in some people that seem to speak the truth. That understand you and that aren't all PC. That give what seems like sound advice. I completely understand it. That comfort comes with a cost. And what you're witnessing is the cost of that misplaced trust. Of hero worship. I worry that I see a similar pattern repeating - people flocking to a NEW hero to worship. Maybe someone involved in the recovery effort. That is heroic no doubt. But my challenge to the plebs is: resist the urge. Stay vigilant. Think for yourself. And understand that everyone has a price and everyone wants *their* bags to go up. #bitcoin #coinkite #nvk #coldcard

Agreed, its affected the movers with sound philosophy, bitcoiners who took the time and went out of their way to do things right. Followed the vision, and see what is going on in fiat land with wars, bubbles and debasement. The people we want on our team, that can actually change things in the world.. its affected the cream of the crop
