Agree with all, except: “Don't feel bad because you got paid to shill ColdCard, that is an honest business deal, nothing wrong with sponsorships.” Anyone who endorses a product or service, especially for a price, deserves harsh criticism if it fails so catastrophically. Just a business deal?! 🤮.. Makes me cringe when they read the ads like they’re your mate trying to help you out. They are captured by the desire to fund a full time job that could just as easily be a hobby or side passion. They are mostly hustlers. I don’t think we need to give them grace for a second. They need to feel the full pain, in line with the affected.. You put your name to something, you go down with it too

The sponsors and shills absolutely deserve to eat the backlash — if you put your name on it, you own the fallout, not just the paycheck.
