People still get hung up on the fact that properly held Bitcoin is unable to be seized without your consent
That’s powerful
No government or entity could take your Bitcoin unless you gave up the keys. Full stop. Nothing can take it from you
Granted, they can throw you in jail or something, but you could still tell them to GFY and they could never touch the Bitcoin…
That’s true property rights
If I knew about the specific cold card bug I would have zero incentive to warn everyone.
1. It’s hard enough to defend the city against corrupt governments and organized crime and random bad guys already.
2. Hardware wallet users walked outside the valiantly defended gates and bent over for the enemy.
3. Not only are you not helping the good guys, but you are deploying your cash to fund the enemy.
4. It’s dangerous for me to rush outside the city walls to rescue you. These people are professionals and well funded and I’m just a volunteer.
5. Reality is the best educator. How could I possibly overcome the enemy propaganda you should leave the defenses without some idiots falling in view of everyone.
Bitcoin core is our fortress against being back doored. Leave it and I’m willing to watch you sacrifice yourself for the greater good.
@chnessGame@notgrubles@NepaliHODL21 I have done this after deleting the wallet and without using the descriptor to recreate it multiple times on different wallet platforms
@w_s_bitcoin@sagars209@callebtc Even with generating your own entropy completely offline, at some point, you have to trust something to derive your addresses right?
This is where i'm stuck, thinking about finding the best place to do that part.
@Bil6ly05@ColeTU But why not use those possibilities directed at the other generated seed phrases instead of randomly guessing and infinite amount of times that a certain wallet has a passphrase on top of it?
@BritishHodl That's my biggest issue, is none of these influencers had any idea what they were talking about when they recommended CC, but they sure acted like they knew.
