Beyond the immediate devastation, this disaster really shreds any credibility bitcoiners had in normie land. We all look like fools whether we lost money or not. Me. You. Everyone. It's a huge blow to self custody and just seeds the ground for custodial tyranny *within bitcoin*. I can hear it now: "Your wealth is safer with a credentialed state-approved custodian; look at what happened with ColdCard!" ๐Ÿ˜”
