I am trying to imagine how my mother assemble this... For $50, huh, trezor is almost the same price. If I show this to people I try to orange pill, they would run and scream.
I used to have a similar device in the past, my own custom. I was proud of it. But not anymore. Just another thing to be aware of in my head for nothing. I'd rather buy trezors and give them for free to people who are interested in BTC.
Do you have a real experience when this kind of device was the crucial thing that somehow helped you? Or is it just your imagination?

Shitcoinery is an acquisition channel. But they stay for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is for everybody who wants. She wanted. You sound like a nerd living in a cave. Go out and see the world, there are people. You can do zero trust using math. But you cannot live in society with no trust. Trust is a measure, not binary...
Supply chain is always an issue and trade off. They can track you based on the specific list of components. You'd better build a factory at home.
Lot of people come to bitcoin from shitcoins. Lot of people, including me, started with online wallet. It is a way where you search what is comfortable and acceptable. There is no good and bad. It's a measure.

I ultimately agree with this. I ordered some Blockstream jades and based on their locations I figured they would arrive in a couple days, but it took over a week. Sorry, but where the duck was it then? When it comes to being sovereign with my money and taking into account the desperation of governments to not lose control, how do we ever truly know what lengths they are capable of going or who they can corrupt.
Coldcard has quite a thorough tamper evident system but regardless, catch the wrong mood and your mind can get the best of you with what if's 😅 SeedSigner seems to be the way!
I agree also though with @gmd that while "easy", the non-tech savvy will tune out immediately. You know what else is easy? Taking the integral of a polynomial of any order, yet the sound of it still scares most people away immediately... "Oh I've never been good math"! Who knows though, maybe we're in another era of evolution where survival of the strongest doesn't refer necessarily to physical strength anymore.
P.s. I just paid for 2 meals and groceries in Guatemala today 🚀🚀🚀 suck it first world!
