If everyone is scared of hardware wallet as their safety option and self custody option who wins? Who benefits the most from this? I guess the centralised entities and the banks.
What if this is it? What if the goals of these people is to strike fear in the mind of holders that giving up their Bitcoin to custodial entities is the only way forward?
I know what many people will say, that I am just scared because one hardware wallet got ruined, ColdCard as the main example, but before you said this few people surrounding myself have already started to show this sign.
It's what made me think this way, my friends are already complaining that hardware wallets aren't safe anymore, one fell and others are already looking like spoilt eggs.
Is there any evil agenda behind this or it's just normal human reaction?
We can't really know if there is some agenda behind the recent coldcard attack, but the reaction of the people towards it is totally natural and humane, because when you know that something can harm you, you will fear going near it, and that's exactly what's happening right now.
Now, if you want to link this to some agenda, maybe you could say that those who are running or controlling centralized empires could be behind the attack, because they want people to fear using self-custodial services and start using them as their main source for holding or keeping their assets, but since there are no proofs or anything about this, I don't think we can say so until something actually comes up, before that, it's just guesses and speculation.
By the way, the fear we can see in the market or industry at the moment is obviously not permanent, it's just temporary, and that is because the incident is pretty new, and surely, over time, people will forget about this and things will become normal again. If such things could permanent, then we had so many hacks and incidents with centralized platforms as well, so people would have stopped using them long ago, but they didn't.
