People need to trust each other. What we should have known better was than to trust someone as obviously scummy as NVK no matter how much airtime coldcards got. We worship asshole devs way too much round these parts.
Well, there *is* a significant subset of bitcoiners who've long complained about the overemphasis on HWWs, who view them as security theater, but:
* They don't really do podcasts
* They're not exactly on YouTube
* They tend to be seen as assholes. Which isn't unfounded, some of them really are assholes.
I like HWWs and think they're good for adoption, but it is true they're treated like a sacred, unimpeachable vault in this space; many incorrectly think you 'need' them to secure your Bitcoin.
