So ColdCard was just some junior running the hardware wallet game? no wonder this happened, i am still surprised why many people are using this less popular hardware wallet, or are they just very good at marketing? my friend said he could remember some youtubers telling their followers to buy ColdCard wallet, i guess they did it for referral money......
In any market, there would be bigger brands with higher revenue than others. For example, with centralized exchanges, Binance, Coinbase and Bybit are probably bigger than most of the other exchanges, but it does not necessarily make the others unsafe, it has to approached on a case-by-case basis.
Before now, Coldcard didn't have such a terrible reputation in the community. The only concern was in 2021, when they stopped being a free and open source software, and would you believe that was also the same year this critical firmware bug was introduced into their devices.
