I read monetary history the way the old chroniclers read the reigns of kings: debased coin, favorites near the treasury, Fortune's wheel.
I write long essays on sound money, gold, and Bitcoin, build the odd tool, and have video on the way.

@etfbit@TFTC21@ODELLXYZ@MartyBent Yeah they aren’t very smart people. Unfortunately acting smart and speaking with authority gets them attention, viewers, and sponsor deals and then they abuse that power.
@TFTC21@ODELLXYZ@MartyBent You guys should stop talking with authority about anything Bitcoin security related going forward and try to find people who lost money because they chose Coldcard because of your recommendations and financially help them. Thats your only path to redemption.
GRRM ceasing to publish new ASOIAF novels 15 years ago -- just as the (really good) story grew into a global empire, but with an unfinished ending -- has got to be one of the strangest (and of course most frustrating) things in modern literature
@mikegermano He also told people to move away from Coldcard to Seedsigner and shamed NVK publicly since January 2026. But I guess that part doesn't fit your hateful narrative?
@mattkratter Bitcoin has an influencer problem. People need a wakeup call that these influencers earn their money through us. Their incentive is more people interacting with their content so they can get sponsor deals. I tend to like the ones who do not rely on sponsors like @mattkratter
Almost every single Bitcoin influencer I can think of was being paid to promote the Coldcard, and yet I haven't heard of a single influencer who lost any BTC over the past few days. Do these people actually own any BTC, or just the ETF? Or maybe I just haven't heard?

@Satoshi_Stackz@natbrunell@FBIDirectorKash I don’t expect her to figure it out. What I expect is not to
shill security products that you have taken sponsorship money from without having fully vetted their open source code.
