HODL on Nostr: I wish they had broadcasted sooner, but I think in a very human way they were ...

I wish they had broadcasted sooner, but I think in a very human way they were completely blindsided and honestly probably stuck in a state of disbelief/denial. In the kubler Ross stages of grief Matt seemed like he had progressed to anger while Marty seemed possibly stuck in denial. I thought they held themselves to account well. They didn’t make a single excuse and they are certainly more apologetic and contrite than nvk or anyone at coinkite. At the end of the day they are podcasters, not tech wizards or experts. I know both of them through the years and I know they are good men who feel absolutely horrible about their hand in all this. I think we’re all human and it’s very very difficult to be perfect in a situation like this. I myself heard about it very early in the morning and denied it was happening at first. It couldn’t be true I thought. It had to be something else. It could not possibly be that the entropy generation was bad. Could it? We now know it was. I trusted my gut and called Rob1Ham (npub1emd…c9aw) after about 30-45 mins of thinking about it at the gym and realizing something wasn’t right. Rob dug into it immediately and told me a few hours later there was indeed a serious issue. That’s when I began raising the alarm here on nostr. Should I have acted sooner? Yes. Probably by almost an hour. But I am human and I was stuck in denial at first. I extend the same grace to Matt and Marty. This is one of the worst moments of their careers and so many things they believed came tumbling down at once. It would be hard to do exactly the right things in that scenario. That said the audience members who lost coins are the actual victims of course not Matt and Marty. So it’s just… idk man it’s an incredibly sad situation I think because most people were good people trying to do the right things. It’s seriously a tragedy of epic proportions. Hard to find the right words to say about any of it.
