In need of tips from former compulsive buyers: I'm generally a minimalist on everything but tech related things. How should I fight the urge to get another hardware wallet (Krux and/or Coldcard Q), when I already have enough hardware wallets to provide me, my non-existent heirs, and a small community of people? πŸ˜…
I don't understand the urge at all, isn't it more fun to make your own? πŸ€”

Oh, it is fun building our own! But that's part of the problem.
SeedSigner 1, which I got, is DIY, Krux 2, which I want, is DIY too. Building them is part of the fun, but it means spending money on tech I don't need nonetheless.
It was the same with Jade 3. I got two Jades, a DIY and a retail. It's almost a compulsion. (send help πŸ™ƒ)

maybe get a new hobby outside of tech things πŸ‘€

Well, tech is my only hobby nowadays. I should give music another chance. The problem is that guitars and music in general can become a pretty expensive hobby too. πŸ˜‚

I'm the opposite, after Bitcoin then go back to focus on non-tech stuff, the goal is to have less and less dependence on others, so I'm digging cooking and sewing, going back to do what people used to do themselves πŸ‘€ and it's really satisfying, being able to create.
Agree with the music thing! the instrument can be quite expensive and really inconvenient to carry around; I learned Bağlama last year and ended up gifting it to a friend.
I gave away all the HW I had. Totally useless for me. More HW for you = more sats for me :)

I get it... For Bitcoin it's not really a must.
But I always find a reason to try a new one. Like, generating ssh/gpg keys with my Jade, doing air gaped nostr stuff with SeedSigner, and so on and so forth.
It's more to experience the tech than to secure the sats.

ah ok, make sense πŸ‘
