I have been working so much, trying to pack for a move, coordinating contractors at the new place, closing and opening utilities, doing my own work at the new place, and helping out with our son before and after our familial help shows up and haven’t been able to work out in two weeks. I legitimately don’t understand how people go through life without working out. You are a shell of yourself if you aren’t out there getting some exercise.

I agree with you and have long argued that people trying to sell their custodial solutions claiming that your bitcoin “sits in a plastic device in your desk drawer” were openly being disingenuous. The sats sit with the seed phrase(s). It is still a major pain to reproduce wallets and figure out new devices. And none of them have the functionality that the CC did.

2026-08-23 22:40:37 UTC

- reply

You can always restore from your seed but then you have to get a whole new device if a wallet manufacturer discontinues support for their app. You can use the cold card forever without needing ongoing support. It’s an onerous process to switch, the vendors know it, and that is how you get stuck using the same manufacturer forever.

Same here.

2026-08-23 02:50:14 UTC

Podcasts since the Cold Card failure have been terrible. Every hardware wallet other than the CC sucks, and everyone knows it. We have vendor lock, apps, overly complicated devices, and just a general suck for signing devices. Cold Card was the best signing device, and still is if you generated your own entropy. It’s not even close. There is nothing like it. No one feels comfortable recommending anything. “I’m just a humble stacker. You do you. “ We have a lot of work to do. This isn’t a joke. But all the signing devices are. Let’s go. Lots to do.

My issue isn’t even with what people are saying. Most of it is accurate and true. They just did none of it, and are acting like they are some sort of superior bitcoiner. The number of people that verified Trezor’s code before buying one can be counted on one hand.

2026-08-12 14:51:23 UTC

99% of society is incapable of independently researching hardware wallets. It’s all social signal. The real lesson to take away is that you have to create your own entropy and make people that you recommend wallets to, do the same. Everyone can do that. Enough of the, “my hardware choice didn’t fail, look at me” virtue signaling.
As an aside, this is actually one of the 1% that can DYOR. So, he can say this, but it’s highly inapplicable to the overwhelming majority.

I understand exactly what’s going.

No mention how this was done. Most likely was a sale or additional issuance of common stock. Just a reminder, wherever you sit in the MSTR capital stack, you are being arbitraged to allow the company to buy more Bitcoin and allow Bitcoin to outperform you.

I had a cash emergency pop up when the buyer of our condo couldn’t get a clear to close from some third rate mortgage company he decided to use. At the same time, we had a contract on a new home that we were purchasing that was supposed to close after that sale, but now we were in a position where we could either close on the new home without the cash from our condo sale, or lose the home back to the market. We decided to close on the home, but it required borrowing cash against our Bitcoin for 3 weeks, or selling our Bitcoin. We decided on a very low LTV and borrowed via @npub1ex7…vyt9 . I will admit, that I didn’t love the scenario, but the ease of the process and the team at Strike were incredible throughout. They even let us close our loan early when the condo sale finally happened. I can’t say enough good things about the Strike loan product. Sadly, sometimes Fiat gets in the way of life. Thanks to @npub1cn4…3vle and team for building a tool to bridge the two worlds.
This is not an endorsement of borrowing against your #bitcoin . Frankly, I recommend against it. However, it was the best option for us at the time, and props where props are due for the incredible product and service offered.
