RT @rationalaussie: The Coldcard hack is terrible. It also makes the entire Bitcoin 'influencer' community look like utter clowns, which most of them are. It's not like this was some particularly sophisticated attack. The company had a single job: generate high entropy keys safely. Instead of doing its most basic job properly it larped on about their shitty little product - which looked absolutely disgusting, and for nerds - and how it was best in class for securing Bitcoin because it had so many complicated features no one needed. I have a sixth sense for bad product design. I looked at Coldcard a long time ago and my first thought was 'this product looks ugly AF and conflated overly complex security with bad design choices'. The two are not mutually exclusive - you can have great security and great design; their product had neither. The best products abstract away all complexity. Simplicity is king. Coldcard frontloaded complexity and then hid

RT @LayerTwoLabs: WATCH: 11 minutes of influencers recommending Coldcards after March 2021, the month that they changed their software license and introduced the RNG bug. Tag your favorite Bitcoiner when you see them! https://t.co/4HZThyvxsF

RT @nic_carter: Bitcoin maximalism is over. Bitcoin "culture" is over. Bitcoin influencers are over. Every popular hardcore Bitcoin figure has disgraced themself in some way. Bitcoin will remain, beneficially stripped of the cult around it.

RT @WayneVaughan: Doomers are just one of several negative archetypes that have infected Bitcoin over the past two years. The common thread amongst them all is religious thinking, they fervently believe something in spite of contradictory evidence and alternate explanations. They tend to speak in absolutes. They are intolerant of dissent. Although they usually have limited knowledge about Bitcoin, they believe they have special insight about Bitcoin. They often impute supernatural, moral, or spiritual values upon the Bitcoin network. They congregate and actively try to convert people to their beliefs. The more devout they are, the greater their reward will be as Bitcoin’s price increases. Archetypes include: Doomers Softwar Simps Bitcoin Mystics I abhor religious thinking. These usually well meaning individuals risk becoming the woke idiots of the Bitcoin world. Perhaps we should call them Faithcoiners.

@WayneVaughan @JoeCarlasare I call them Saylorians

@TheChiefNerd Are they seriously checking ID?

@Zimo0o0 @NealFlesher @cguida6 I actually looked it up and before bip 91 it was around 20% so not near zero but very low

@Zimo0o0 @NealFlesher @cguida6 But in 2017 we had near zero miner support until segwit2x was activated.
