I’m not defending coinkite or NVK hold them responsible too.

I believe you
But the “re tweet” you promoted suggests the victim of theft did something wrong by
“Using some of the weakest available hygiene” - blah blah blah.
There are degrees of commitment to any approach to personal security. There are knowledge gaps. It’s hard for me to see degrees of commitment as if they are wrong. If you do 5/6 multisig and I do 100,000/100,001 are you “wrong” in my eyes?
I think there are community standards and subcommunity standards. And cypherpunks (I don’t really even know the term I admit) with extreme technical skills and high security preferences are impressive and to be applauded.
But I worry about an inability or unwillingness to see outside the sub community into the wider community.
Look, I am not a cypherpunk. I am not technical. I’m a total bystander. It looks to me like punching down. To me there are two crimes, one miles deep and yards wide. One miles wide and variably deep.
I’m willing to bet that even the most ardent hygienic 100,000/100,001 multisignaturer - if they have one single cold card in that arrangement, is changing it out. Because they were defrauded.
IMO The whole community will be better when both injustices are righted.
I get some will have little or no sympathy for the unhygienic, so be it.
But then maybe - just my suggestion - they can pivot from them over to addressing the widely promoted massive fraud advertised and inflicted on bitcoiners.
