I think some of them may be a necessary evil in order to introduce the benefits of Bitcoin to all people.
Others are just leeching the masses.
Once the overall system changes enough, they’ll die out in their current form.
Some may adapt into some other related service. Greed is a powerful thing.

I’m miffed that this may be considered an unpopular opinion. Totally agree with you.
TLDR;
Ignore Bitcoin for years.
Buy Bitcoin.
Buy shitcoins.
Fuck around and find out.
Read more into Bitcoin.
Lightbulb.

Works on the coloured units as well.
Cofounder confirmed the device will transmit encrypted shards of your seed phrase and that it’s optional.
But what the fuck. Transmit my seed phrase ? Fuck you.
I can no longer trust Ledger as a cold wallet so why should I trust that the change is not going to become mandatory. Even if opting out, that implies the capability is still present.
Fuck that.

Ok. So even if this hunt is false, I am having a blast looking for patterns, and trimming down potential seed lists, then trying to import them, waiting for the import and then failure.
Early 2020, along with ETH, then a bunch of alts.
I learned my lesson and have been consolidating everything to BTC over the last year or so.
Fuck everyone who tries to control the system/wealth.
Hey folks, hope luck is on your side today.
I’m doing what I do most days.
Working for fiat. Today I’m leaning back and using a heating pad for the back, because I’m an idiot. All good otherwise!
My experience was that crypto hurt me. I almost left entirely until realizing why it hurt me is the same as why general stocks and the economy can hurt me. Then Bitcoin made more sense.
I had to be abused to glimpse it.
