 The Ledger presentation at Bitcoin 2024.  https://m.primal.net/JfTL.png  
 The worst part about it is them funding bitcoin core devs.  Corporate entities should not fund development.  Open source development should be organic 
 I don't mind that. I view it as them giving back to the hand that feeds them. The issue would be us hoping that core devs have high morals. 
 Corporate entities funding development is an attack on Bitcoin plain and simple. 
 Somebody has to fund the development. The more companies of different verticals the better. And of course, the less strings attached that come with these grants, the better, too.

If you have high stakes, you have to fund securing your stakes. 
 The lack of anticipated applause was tough to watch  
 Was very sad to witness the self own. 
 Clip of this somewhere ? 
 Somebody got a video with timestamp?

 If you want to take a little creative liberty with the wording maybe something like this, but either way it’s good 😂🤙

 I like it better than my wording. You are a professional. 
 It's implied above. For those who don't get the above, maybe:

secure ... private ... 20% ... but private 
 Not
Adding
Up.., 
 Imagine buying this crap 😁 
 Their products being closed source is just mind boggling to me. We cannot know if they have a backdoor. And they even provide a feature for cloud backup, so if a backdoor triggers that, it would go totally undetected.

 Yeah I would never ever touch it 
 I know people that have ... well, Ledger themselves claim that a backdoor is worth $260.000.000.000US. Those people I know hold peanuts in comparison. 
 No way!  
 Fuck Ledger. 
 Yes. 
 Ledger brags that a backdoor in their closed source firmware is worth $260.000.000.000US.

Why would they do that?

 What does that even mean? Are they saying 20% of all bitcoin in cold storage are stored on Ledger devices?
