For those who already have Jade: Why would spend another 170K+ sats for a better screen / better material, instead of stacking harder.

For those who already own another hw wallet: Why would you spend 170K+ sats on more ewaste instead of stacking harder?

For those who don't own any hw wallet: Hardware wallet companies are all shady. Get a SeedSigner instead, or an old air-gapped linux laptop, or my personal choice, an air-gapped GrapheneOS device.

I see everyone saying they want to 'stack harder' but as soon as something 'new and exciting' comes up they open their wallets and go crazy with consumerism...

If any of you actually understood Bitcoin you would do everything in your power to NOT spend any money, and instead stack as much sats as you can.

There is no reason to update. I am thinking just because I can give my older one to my brother to get him in cold storage too. Would you give a jade, the jade plus or other?

Jade is easy to use. I would suggest giving that to him.

This whole post is kinda sus, he is using a fresh account, and linking a bunch of Jade stuff with affiliated codes...

I do have other account. But lost my node and could not recover: https://stacker.news/RReis Now I will have to start again

That's a fresh account aswell...

What's up with all the affiliate codes?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @RicardoMotoo OP 4 Jan

That was not fresh, created in May 2023. Anyway judge as you wish

You know exactly what i meant with fresh. You don't have any posts made on both accounts, you are using an profile picture of a guy generated with AI, and you dodged my question about the affiliate links twice.

Answering your question, yes the links are affiliates. I like to test things just like in bitcoin. As a bitcoin and content writer I like to test thinks, it can be affiliate programs as well as product tests to give review. But the question is 100% real. Today I have a Ledger and a Jade. Unfortunately, I think the current Jade falls well short in design, but Ledger is not 100% bitcoin and has its problems. Maybe I misunderstood the phase fresh account

I would rather take the least expensive route and stack more sats (you could get him the normal jade and extra sats, instead of the plus, he will thank you in the future).
