Coldcard mess made me admit self-custody isn't the flex we thought it was...
Been holding my own keys since 2019, never had an incident. Then the Coldcard hack happens, and the wallet did nothing wrong from a literal "did I get phished" standpoint. The device never touched the internet, the seed never left it, and people still got drained because the randomness was …

How to plan future ColdCard incidents?
I understand what happened with ColdCard and that the other ledgers don't suffer from the same bug. But those of us who have our money in wallets like Ledger, should we be concerned at all? Is there anything that we can do to confirm the security of our tokens? Are …
