Because of the CooldCard fiasco I just tried setting up a BitKey with a screen

Is it easy to use? Yes
Do I care? No
This multisig setup is obviously dumb
I hate storing an encrypted “key” on iCloud
I hate that block’s servers have a key
I hate I have no idea what the key on my bitkey is or what it looks like
I love that at least my bitcoin is obviously stored on a Bitcoin address on the blockchain
My wife was insanely confused when she got a text to be my trusted contact
I love that I’m learning there’s ways to secure Bitcoin on a hw wallet WITHOUT a seed phrase! That’s nuts. Even SeedSigner uses a seed phrase.
I hate I have no way to browse all the potential addresses or change addresses
I hate there’s no desktop sw
I love it’s Bitcoin only
I love its Block and its integrated with Cash App
I love playing with new hw wallets
I have no way to know if the “entropy” is better than CC and WTF is their multisig
Idk man idk anything but I know it’s a better temporary sweep of my Bitcoin than suddenly dumping it all on River or a ledger or leaving it on a Zfreakin coldcsrd
UGHHHHHHHHHHHH
I love sparrow wallet I am so sad
